APPLE AND THORN SKELETONIZES ( Hem^ronhila loariana Clerck) 
B»A« Porter (September 25) • 'Not noted in this section Huntington 
and Chesterfield last year, and has probably reached this region 
within the last year or so- Nov.- present in small numbers » B 
H*>T.-Ferna.ld (October 20). "The apple and thorn skeletonizer has 
appeared at Amherst, and the moths were very abundant on October 
16 to 19 • Their work has been observed also, to some extent, 
but apparently is not abundant enough to account for the swarms 
of moths- Mr* Bennett A. Porter of Wallingford has suggested 
to me that tt was very possibly a migrating flight northward 
from Connecticut*" 
A.G.Davis (September 15) « "Have not noted any eating birch but 
it has been causing considerable damage to apple in Litchfield 
County." 
W.E.Britton (September 16) • ^Commercial sprayed orchards not

FALSE APPLE RED BUG ( Lygid^ merdax Reut.) 
F.A.Bartlett (September 19) » "Never had so much trouble with red

a limited number of apples in this part of Fairfield County, and 
practically all knurled."
