Authorities Fear that New Bug 
Will Destroy Trees as did Gipsy 
Now that the authorities feel they 
have succeeded in getting the gipsy 
and brown-tail moths under subjection 
and are experimenting on methods to 
totally exterminate them from the 
country, a new, and possibly more 
dangerous moth turns up. It is called 
by the scientists ‘“‘cuidocampa flaces- 
cans,” but is known to the residents 
of Dorchester, where it has been found 
in great numbers,as the Japanese moth. 
This moth is believed to be more 
hardy than the gipsy or brown-tail, 
and is known to increase with great 
rapidity. It is most destructive to 
maple, black birch, cherry and moun- 
tain ash trees, attacking these trees 
first and devouring the tender bark 
and leaves with great avidity. It does 
not confine its work of destruction 
to these trees, however, but will attack 
all trees known to New England. 
In color the new bug is a beautiful 
lemon, this changing to a purple near 
the body. The wings spread an inch 
anda half. It is a much more beauti- 
ful and graceful bug than either the 
gipsy aroma) 
From investigation it was learned 
that the moth was brought to this 
country from Japan several years ago 
by a party of Japanese who came to 
the Japanese Hospital on Blue Hill 
avenue. : « 
Authorities are greatly disturbed 
over the discovery of the moths in 
such quantities and are urging that 
immediate steps be taken for their ex- 
termination. It is feared that before 
many years have elapsed it will be- 
come as great a menace to our New 
England trees as the gipsy and brown- 
tail moths. The species has been 
found nowhere else in the country, but 
the rapid spread in Dorchester is 
alarming, and steps will soon be taken 
to prevent its spread throughout the 
state. 
The nests, which are found at this 
season of the year, look like little 
knots on the branches. It is not easy 
to distinguish them from the wood, so 
near the same color are they. In the 
spring these nests break open and 
thousands of eggs are hatched, and in 
time the now dreaded moth begins its 
work of destruction. What remedy 
will cure the evil is not as yet known, 
but if the nests are destroyed now 
much work will be saved in the spring.
