W. H. Clarke (February '27); Overwintering larvae at 
Tnomaston are beginning to pupate; one - pupa found' in the field; 
1 per cent of larvae uupated in insectary (February 5); 
approximately 4 per cent of the larvae have uupated in the 
insectary, and a single adult female emerged. today (February 5) 
(the earliest ...record taken for adult emergence in Georgia). 
To date (February 27) over 11 per cent of the overwintering 
larvae have pupated in the insectary, and over 1 ner cent of 
the overwintering material has emerged as adults. The pupation 
and adult emergence dates given are the earliest ever observed 
in the study of this insect at Thomaston, and no doubt these 
are the records recorded for the State. The infestation in 
harvested fruits last year was only 25 per cent, the average 
of experimental plats.
