FOREST AND SHADE-TREE INSECTS 
PERIODICAL CICADA ( Tibicina septendecim L.) 
H. E. Jaques (April 24): On April 21 nymphs of Brood IV 
of the periodical cicada were found in Fremont County in their 
burrows under logs ready for emergence, so we are sure that 
they will appear in that county at least. 
BAGWORM ( Thyridopteryx ephemeraef ormis Haw . ) 
J. J. Davis (March 31): Bagworms were reported abundant 
on evergreen trees at Pershing. (April 28): Bagworm 
cocoons reported abundant in a young apple orchard at 
Burns City. 
L. Haseman and P. H. Johnson (April 24): Eggs have not yet 
hatched but overwintering cocoons are abundant at this time. 
L. A. Stearns (March 30): Bagv/orms are abundant on quinces. 
imiTE-MARKED TUSSOCK MOTH ( Hcmerocampa leucostigma S. & A- ) 
W. E. Britton (April 24): Egg clusters are very abundant 
on lindens near the rrilroad station at Waterbury. 
GIPSY MOTH ( Porthetria dispar L. ) 
H. L. Bailey (April 18): The gipsy moth has been found 
rather plentifully in towns along the Connecticut River from 
Springfield south to the Massachusetts line. This seems to be 
the chief area of infestation in Vermont, though at one time the 
whole State was considered infested, and scattered egg masses 
and small colonies occasionally are found in other sections. 
SATIN MOTH ( Stilpnotia salicis L. ) 
..m. ,1. Baker (April 16): The larvae of the satin moth have 
evidently been feeding for several days.
