This insect is single-brooded as far as known; but its life history 
is not fully made out. The larvae have been noticed from the latter 
part of May to the middle of July, and their transformation to puprf 
has been reported at various dates from June 15, to the 15th of 
July while the appearance of the imago lias ranged from the 8th 
to the 27th of the latter month. It is not likely that any remedy 
for the injuries of this insect to the strawberry will be required, but 
pyrethrum during the fruiting season and Pans green or London 
purple later in the year, would doubtless answer every purpose. 
The Green Strawberry Span-Worm. 
(.Angerona crocatciria, Fab.) 
Order Lepidoptera. Family Phal^nidze. 
This species is, like the preceding, one of the minor enemies 
of the strawberry, but being a less general feeder, is more 
likely to inflict noticeable injury. The original description by lab- 
ricius dates from 1798, but the first mention of the larva as an 
injurious insect which I have been able to find, is in Dr, Packards 
“Guide to the Study of Insects” published in 1869. Additional items 
of interest concerning its life history and its relations to horticul¬ 
ture, appeared in the Canadian Entomologist for April 1871, with 
descriptions of the egg, larva and pupa and dates of the transfor- 
mations; and a good description of the imago is given in Dr. rack- 
ard’s Monograph of the Phalsenidse quoted below. 
DESCRIPTION. 
Each female lavs about two hundred and twenty eggs m patches 
or clusters, from forty to fifty in each group. When first depositee 
they are vellow, later, bright red, and when about to hatch becom 
a grayish" brown. They are oval, depressed, about .3 of an men u 
length by .2 in width. The surface is everywhere minutely pitte< 
with shallow depressions. 
The newly hatched larva is about .1 of an inch in length , Lea< 
rather large, bilobed, pale-brown with a few fine short hairs aa 
several black dots on each side. Body above, dull yellowish-gre 
with a dark brown stripe on each side, about half way towara 
spiracles. Below this the sides of the body are paler, with a wintis 
bloom over the surface. There are a few short brownish am 
most numerous on terminal segment. Under surface pale wmtisr 
with a dusky patch of red about the base of the two pairs ol pr< 
legs. Feet and prolegs pale, semi-transparent. 
The mature larva is from 1.50 to 1.75 inches in length, bod 
gradually increasing in size from head to prolegs; geneial co
