Describes injury to strawberry caused by what is supposed to l)e this insect 
under the designation the strawberry root and crown borer; hirv;e stated to be 
80 abundant in phices in Ontario as to almost destroy the strawberry beds by 
eating into the crown of the plants and excavating channels and cfiambers; 
said to bo double brooded, the tirst brood wintering in a half-grown state; in the 
crown of strawbeiTy, while the second brood attacks the young runners soon 
alter the fruiting seasou ; also reported in Ontario to infest buds and twigs of 
peach.

Figures moth and larva and burrow in peach twig; said to be very trouble- 
some in peach orchards of Maryland and Virginia; its presence first noticed 
during the preceding season; twigs described as injured before leaving, in some 
cases all of the young twigs killed to a distance downward from 1 to 2|inch<'s, the 
larvie entering near the terminal bud; suggests pruning and burning of injured 
shoots while the caterpillars are still within them.

Comstock, J. H. — Eept. TJ. S. Dept. Agriculture, 1879, p. 2o6. 
Gives in brief the habits of the insect; states that it attacks the newly 
expanded twigs, entering them at the base and eating them off completely, so 
that the branches wither and are held to the old wood merely by the gummy 
excretions; in some cases all of the twigs thus destroyed; describes the fact of 
the second generation developing in the ripening fruit, in which larv.e were 
found in Blackistone Island, Virginia, throughout the season, and also on the 
grounds of the Department of Agriculture; the larvu' leaving the peach, trans- 
form and attach to the outside of the fruit, making no cocoon; the twig-inhab- 
iting generation said to mature in May and June, and the fruit-inhabiting 
brood in the latter part of July and throughout August.

strawberry.
