The Cherry-tree Ugly-nest Tortricid, Cacoecia cerasivo - 
rana (C. cer-a-si-vo-ra'na), lives upon the 
choke-cherry and sometimes upon the cul¬ 
tivated cherry. The larvae, which are yel¬ 
low, active creatures, fasten together all 
the leaves and twigs of a branch and feed 
upon them (Fig. 293), an entire brood oc¬ 
cupying a single nest. The larvae change 
to pupae within the nest; and the pupae, 
when about to transform, work their way 
out and hang suspended from the outer 
portion of the nest, clinging to it only by 
hooks at the tail end of the body. Here 
they transform, leaving the empty pupa- 
skins projecting from the nest, as shown 
in the figure. The moths vary in size, the 
wing expanse of those we have bred rang¬ 
ing from four fifths of an inch to nearly 
one and one-fifth inches. The wings are 
bright ochre-yellow ; the front pair marked 
with irregular brownish spots and numer-

The Oak Ugly-nest Tortricid, Caccecia fervadana (C. fer- 
va-da na).—The nests of this species are common on our 
oak-trees in late summer. They are merely a wad of leaves 
fastened together. Each nest contains several larvae ; later 
the empty pupa-skins may be found clinging to the outside 
of the nest as in the preceding species.
