ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Laspeyresi? inolesta Busck) 
A correction. The note referring to this insect in the 
Insect Pest Survey Bulletin, Vol. 10, Wo. 1, page 19, as 
occurring at Cape Giradeau, Mo., is erroneous. Material 
from this locality was determined "by Dr. C. Heinrich as a 
species of Aegeriidae. 
Connecticut ff. 3. Britton (April 24): The oriental fruit moth is 
moderately abundant. 
Delaware L. A. Stearns (April 3): Fifty-three per cent of over- 
wintered larvae have transformed in insectary and outside 
cages; peaches in from late pink to early bloom condition. 
(April 12): Seventy-four per cent of ovsrwintered larvae 
pupated on April 12 as compared with 53 per cent on April 3, 
First spring-brood moths emerged April 11. Peaches in 
full bloom.

0. I. S n app ( A pril 21): Wo twig injury has been observed 
at Fort Valley to date. The first twig injury last year 
was observed on April 4. 
C. H. Alden (April 21): A few moths are emerging at 
Cornelia; there is no twig injury. 
J. 3. Gill (April 25): The oriental fruit moth is scarce 
at Albany. 
J. R. .Tatson (April 26): The oriental fruit moth is scarce, 
J. S. Houser (April 16): The oriental fruit moth is very 
abundant. Adults emerged in southern Ohio about April 14. 
R." F. Sazama (April 24): In a dozen bait traps used to 
check the first emergence of the oriental fruit moth, the 
first moth was caught April 5. Heavy emergence started the 
12th and continued through the 17th, during the especially 
hot weather we experienced at that time. Since then, cool 
weather has completely stopped ^mergence but it is expected 
that the remainder of the first brood will emerge over a 
short period of time as soon as warm weather occurs again. 
J. J. Davis (inarch 29): At Bedford and Mitchell, 40 per 
cent pupated by March 19 and 75 per cent pupated by March 21. 
(March 31): According to Steiner's examinations 40 per cent 
of the overwintering worms on the ground had pupated by 
"•arch 19. By March 21, 75 per cent on the ground and 60 
per cent on the trunk had pupated. -be season is unusually 
early although the cold weather the past vt,ek (last week in 
- : arch) has checked developm-nt of plants and insects. 
(April 28): The oriental fruit moth is moderately to very 
abundrrt in the peech district.
