Asparagus plumosus at Jupiter. Land cleared of Palmetto 
scrub in about 1920. First adults about June 15 but still 
coming out. Most serious on plants in vet spots. 
Win. T. Davis, who identified this insect, says, "It 
occurs along the coast from Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico 
and has been collected from May to September. Id my experience 
D. vi ridifascia has not occurred in sufficient numbers to be 
a pest by laying eggs in branches of young trees or bushes."

Arizona C. D. Lebert (July 25): This insect was coming out in gr**t 
numbers from July 1st to the 15th. Oa July 8th I visited one

literally alive with the adults. Thus far no damage of economic 
importance has been found.
