HED-HUMPED CATERPILLAR (Schijrura concitma S« & A.) 
Massachusetts A« I. Bourns (August 19): The red-humped caterpillar in this 
section (Anfcerst) is present in greater abundance than I have 
noted it for several years Apparently the hatch of these insects 
was dra'.m out over a considerable period, so that we have had 
colonies under observation in which the larvae had reached maturity 
and left the trees, and others in *hlch the larvae had not emerged 
for more than about a week. 
Indiana Ber.net A„ Porter (August 2^)5 Occasional colonies are seen in 
young apple orchards at Vincennes which have received little or 
no spray material.

APPLE MAGGOT (?.ha?oletis romonella Walsh) 
Massachusetts A. I„ Bourne (August 19) : During the first week in August in 
orchards in Hampshire County, we "began to note the appearance of 
considerable numbers of the apple maggot. Last year apples 
suffered from a very heavy infestation of this insect,, The flies 
have been noted in large numbers. We have been able to collect 
at leas?'/ two cr three hundred adult flies from one tree, which 
represents only those we were able to reach, collecting by hand 
from the ground* Fiies have been observed end collected, to date, 
on approximate 7 all of our standard varieties of apples. During 
this present week the numbers seem to have fallen off some-hat 
although the fii-gs are still present. Apparently the peak of their 
abundance occurred during the week of August 9 to iU. We? have 
already observed the mature maggots to have begun to leave such 
early -fruit as Yellow Transparent s and to form their puparia. 
LEAEH0PPEE5 (Jassidae) 
Indiana Benhet A« Porter (August 2h): Apple leafhoppers (numerous species) 
extremely abundant in all apple orchards in southern Indiana. Foliage 
is badly devitalized as a result of the numerous feeding punctures. 
Fruit shows considerable specking and some tear streaking as a 
result of deposits of excrement.
