EUROPEAN FRUIT LECAN iUM ( Le can ium c orn i Bouche) 
Michigan. R. Hutson (May 20): Adults of the European fruit lecanium are 
very abundant in the vicinity of Lansing. 
Oklahoma. F. A. Fenton (May 23): The European fruit lecanium continues to 
he the outstanding insect pest of the State. It is found principally 
on elms, "but is also recorded as occurring on Osage orange and soft 
maple. The pest is still in the egg stage. 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (May 25): The first codling 
moths of the season were collected in "bait traps on the night of May 
22 in the Hudson River Valley. On this night 25 moths were caught in 
52 traps in orchards in the vicinity of Poughkeepsie. Night tempera- 
tures during the month indicate that this was the first moth-flight 
period of the season. Of a few specimens examined on May 22 it was 
determined that less than J>0 percent of the overwintered larvae had 
pupated. 
Pennsylvania. H. E. Hodgkiss (May 27): The first peak of emergence occurred 
between May 15 and 18 in Cumberland and York Counties. In Union County 
in the north-central area the first peak was on May 17 and IS, nnd a 
second large emergence started on May 22. Flight records were taken 
from bait pails. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (May 23): Emergence of the spring brood is 75 
percent complete; first brood larvae hatched May 17; development earlier 
than usual. 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (May 12): Firct emergence of the codling moth on 
Eastern Shore, May 7; western Maryland, May. 9; and emergence from cages 
May 12. 
Virginia. f. J. Schoene (May 26): The emergence of the codling moth reached 
a definite peak on May 9 at Crozet. The emergence of unusually large 
numbers of adults within a short period was evidently due to the very 
high temperatures. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 25): Moth emergence in Lawrence County began May 8; 
at Columbus and Wooster, May 17; and in the lakeshore counties on May 
18. It is unusual for emergence along the lake to so closely parallel 
that in central Ohio. First cover sprays have been recommended for 
all sections based on this emergence and the daily evening temperatures. 
Bait pans at Columbus have caught fairly large numbers of moths nightly 
since May 21. The first larval entrances were observed in Lawrence 
County on May 20. 
Indiana. L.- F. Steiner (May 7): The first moth appeared in traps at Bicknell 
on May 4. The daily catch has increased slowly until 90 were captured
