G0DLI17G MOTH (Carpocapsa pom on el la L.) 
Z.P.Metcalf (March): The hibernating larvae seem to he more 
abundant than usual at this season of the year in the mountains 
of the State. 
Bennet a. Porter (May 1): Observations indicate that pupation 
has "been in progress for a.-^eek or more. 
W. F. Flint (iipril 20): Cver wintering larvae in observation 
cages have come through in such numbers as to indicate the 
lowest YTinter mortality for several years. Apparently there 
rail be considerable trouble from this insect if the weather 
of the spring is favorable to its increase. 
E.J.Ne'-corre r (April 1): On recount of the very early season 
nearly 10 per cent of the wintering codling moth larvae have 
pupated ''oy April 1 in the Yakima Valley. The season is fully 
three weeks ahead of normal on this date. In the spring of 1925. 
about 5C individuals of the codling moth parasite Ascogaster 
carpocapsae Vier. . ^ere liberate in an orchard in which no 
parasites had previously occurred. An examination of worms 
in this orchard, made late in March, 1926, showed a parasitism 
of approximately 6 per cent. 
LEA? GRUMPIER ( Mineola indi^rinella Zell.) 
M. H. S^er.k (April 25): The leaf crumpler was found to have 
a menacing number of -"inter nests in an orchard in Garden 
County early in April. 
RED-3rtNDSE L3.„? FOLLFP ( Fulia velutinana 77alk. ) 
'7. S. Hough (April lb): At "."inchester moths began to emerge from 
•wintering pupae on April h. Large numbers have been observed 
flying in certain orchards on favorable days. The first egg 
masses were found on April 1M-. This insect appears to be very 
abundant in certain orchards. 
EASTERN TFFTT SATERPILLaR ( Halacosoma americana T ab. ) 
A, I. Bourne (April 23): The apple tent caterpillar in the 
eastern cart of the State is pnoving to be very much less 
abundant than at any time within the last fe" T years, showing 
a marked decrease from the numbers present last year. In spite 
of the very heavy infestation which was present in the western 
part of the State, our reports to date indicate very little 
if any increase except locally here and there. 
J.L.Rogers (April 25): Small tents made by newly hatched larvae 
are to be seen at ITe™ Haven. 
*.7.P.Flint (April 20): This insect will "be fairly abundant again 
this season in southern Illinois. Fggs are just hatching and
