INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE STRAWBERRY. 
STRAWBERRY LEAF-ROLLER. [.Ancylis comptana.] 
Fig 16.—Strawberry Leaf-roller; a, larva, 
natural size; b, head end of larva en¬ 
larged; c, moth about twice natural size; 
d , tail end of larva enlarged (After 
Saunders.) 
Small brownish or green¬ 
ish larva attaining a length of 
nearly half an inch and having 
the habit of folding the leaves 
of the strawberry. In these 
folds the larva lives and feeds 
and finally changes to a small 
rust-colored moth with white 
marking on the wings. See 
Figs. 16, 17. 
Remedies .—When the fruit has been gathered, scatter straw over the 
vines and burn it. Arsenical sprays (3-8) mav be used, but the worms 
are so protected in the folded leaves that it is difficult to get a poisonous 
dose to them. The vines will put up a good growth of tops after the 
burning, if it is not done too late.
