ARMYWORM . (C iruhis unipunc ta Haw . ) 
Pennsylvania. C. A. Thomas (June 21): A considerable outbreak of armywoms is now 
occurring in southern Chester County, especially in the area between West Grove 
and Oxford, along Route 1. Six farms in this area were found to be more or less 
infested, one farm showing an SO per cent reduction in barley because the worms 
cut off the heads. An unidentified tachinid fly laid eg.;s upon approximately 
25 per cent of the larvae in one field, but the parasitization in other fields 
was very low. Starlings and grackles ate many of the larvae. Corn and alfalfa 
•were also severely injured in some fields. : 
West Virginia. L. M. Peairs (May 26): Armyworms are numerous but scattered; they 
are full grown. 
Maryland. E. IT. Cory (June 22): Armyworms are doing serious injury to barley, 
wheat, and pastures in Kent,- Somerset, St.: Marys, Baltimore, Harford, Frederick, 
and Washington Counties, 
Washington, D. C. W. R. Walton (June 22): A heavy flight of armyworra moths occurred 
last night, and many moths are flying about in buildings today. 
Tennessee. C. Benton (May 2G): Twenty acres of mixed barley and clover were 
seriously injured near Petersburg, Lincoln County. Barley was practically all 
cut off about an inch below the heads. Crimson clover leaves are largely eaten 
but the heads are undisturbed. Worms will be about full grown by May 31. 
SOB WEB WORMS (Crambinae) 
Kentucky. W. A. Price- ( June 24): Sod webworms have been especially troublesome in 
corn and tobacco fields. Many fields have one third of the crop rained by these 
pests. 
Tennessee. C. Benton (May 31): Some damage by sod webworms to newly set tobacco 
plants near Fayctteville, Lincoln County, is reported. 
WEBWORMS ( Loxostege spp.) 
Indiana. J. J. Bavis (June 20): The alfalfa webworm (L. similalis Guen.) was 
reported as destructive to alfalfa at Elkhart, May 31. There is indirect 
information that this pest may have been destructive elsewhere. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (June 26) : The sugar beet webworm is reported as bad in 
Freeborn County on onions and in Redwood County on corn. 
Montana. A. L. Strand (June 20): The beet webworm moths have been flying since the 
last few days in May. Many eggs and young larvae are now present. An outbreak, 
somewhat less intense than that of 1932, is expected. 
Wyoming. C. L. Corkins (June 20): Alfalfa webworms are now hatching. There will 
be spotted infestations of both the alfalfa and sugar beet webworms, but not 
the general infestation of last year and not nearly so much damage. 
Colorado. G. M. List (June 26): The alfalfa webworm L. commix talis Walk* wintered 
in exceedingly large numbers, but rainy and cold weather, which occurred just
