■Rrleflv summarizing these various observations, the life history of 
tlm specieTnmy^be outlined as follows: The eggs are laid in 
Inrine on the unfolding leaves of apple, cranberry whortleberry 
and nossiblv other plants, the larvae soon hatching to devour the 
tended foliage? of which they form a protective case Here they 
continue to^feed for about a month, when they pupate within 
during September, and emerge during October ;“ J g f ence 
rl^li nrav moths which pass the winter in mbbish heaps, tence 
corners and similar places of concealment and deposit eggs on 
the unfolding leaves of the various food plants of the larvae 1 
following spring. Thus is completed this remarkable ^0 '- 
sect life—one of the most curious recorded in the literature oi 
entomology.
