A. G. Ruggles (June 7): This insect is at work in the wooded areas 
north and west of the Twin Cities. It does not seem to be doing 
quite the damage that it did last year, owing I suspect to the in- 
creased number of parasites. 
R. L. Webster (June 5): First report from Kenmare in the north- 
western part of the State. 
Washington News (June ll): Nature is coming to the aid of western 
Oregon, whose caterpillar invasion science could not halt. Parasitic 
flies are laying eggs in the caterpillar fur. The eggs hatch and 
the parasites gnaw. The caterpillar squirms, staggers, curls up, 
and dies. Millions of dead worms are in the outskirts of Corvallis 
and on the road to the Yq.quina Valley, whence they came. In a few 
days all will be dead and a good rain will revegetate the country, 
which they stripped of greenery. 
A. L. Lovett (June 15): Worms reported stopping trains are tent 
caterpillars, which are mostly gone. 
SPANWCRM ( Ennomus subsignarius Huebn.) 
G. E. Smith (June 9): The caterpillars are very abundant and have 
partly defoliated entire woods at the present time in Orleans County. 
J. J. Davis (June 15): Snow-white linden moth larvae are defoliating 
a 10-acre patch of hardwood trees, including oak, maple, chestnut, 
and hickory, at Forest, near Frankfort, on June 12. (June 16): 
A correspondent writes that he has 50 acres of valuable timber which 
these caterpillars are "literally eating up" at Russellville. The 
walnut, ash, and hickory are especial favorites. 
MARCH FLIES ( Bibio albipennis Say) 
E. M. Patch (June 10) : A. L. Merrill reports that millions of these 
little pests are on his trees at Auburn. 
A NOCTUID ( Ania limoata Haw.) 
W. T. M. Forbes (June l) : Caterpillars have been sent in from High- 
land Mills and are reported as being rather injurious on horsd 
chestnuts the past few seasons. 
ARBORVITAE 
ARBORVITAE LEAF-MINER ( Argyresthia thaiella P&ck.) 
E. M. Patch (June 23): This insect is causing considerable con- 
sternation at a nursery and to landscape gardeners at Bar Harbor.
