FRU I T INSECTS 
ROSE LEAP, BEETLE (Nodonota puncticollis Say) 
Now York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (June): Rose leaf beetles began 
emerging in the Hudson River Valley on June 1, a week later than the date 
of first emergence last year. The third week in the month the beetles 
were generally present and injurious in the orchards. 
A LEAE MINER ( Orni x geminatella Pack.) 
Michigan. R. Hutson (June 22): The unspotted tentiform leaf miner is abundant 
in two orchards in the vicinity of Ionia, south of the center of the State. 
This insect has been increasing in these orchards for the last 6 years. 
APPLE 
CODLING- MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L. ) 
New York. D. W. Hamilton (June 2U) : Moths began appearing in bait traps at 
Poughkeepsie on the night of May '23. Heavy peak flights occurred from 
May 30 to June > and daily captures have gradually . decreased since. Ten 
bait traps located in the same positions have captured 1,566 moths, as 
compared- to 1,^3 during the entire season of 1936. Entrances and stings 
are much easier to find than they were at this time last year. 
N. Y. State ColL Agr. (June): In western New York the moths have 
been active since May ^>0» Eggs were observed in Yates County oh June 11 
and entrance first observed on June 18. Reports from other counties in 
that part of the State indicate that the hatch has been delayed and en- 
trances to the fruit are few. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (June 23)? The last emergence of spring-brood moths 
took place on June lU, The earliest first-brood injury was observed in 
an orchard on June 1 and injury was general by June 23 • 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (June 23): The first larvae left the fruit in the in- 
sectary at Staunton on June 17, and on June 18 the first were '.captured in 
bands. Emergence of the spring brood of moths is complete in the insec- 
tary, but moths continue to be captured in the bait pails. 
South Carolina. E. Sherman and W. &# Nettles (June 21): There is less damage 
than usual, presumably because of the light crop of apples last year. 
Georgia. .C. H. Alden (June 23) J Eirst-generation moths have been emerging at 
Cornelia, in northeastern Georgia, for about 10 days. Eggs are being laid. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (June 2^): The first entrances were noticed in southern Ohio 
on May 28, at Columbus on June ~f t at Toledo June 8, and at Wooster June 10. 
The insect seems to be well under control, as there are not very many 
larval entrances in orchards that have received two cover sprays. Moths 
are still caught in bait pails at Columbus and- Toledo.
