We have also found both brown and green specimens feeding on the grape vine in midsummer. " The worms can be removed by hand-picking as they are rather conspicuous objects. A larva, probably of Cidaria, has been found by Mr. W. C. Fish, stripping the cranberry plants in Harwich, Mass., late in August. Mr. Fish writes, "I have never met them that I am aware of before, but on one bog in this place they destroyed nearly two acres of cranberry vines, eating off all the green leaves, the bog being as black in spots as though a fire had been over it." They were not nujperous elsewhere in that town, but may prove at times to be a great pest to cranberry growers. We failed to rear the larvae sent by Mr. Fish. They are about the size of the canker worm. The head, which is no wider than the rest of the body, is deeply indented, on each side rising into a tubercle; the anal plate is long, acute, and beneath it are two minute acute tubercles, tinged with reddish. It is dull reddish brown, simulating the color of the twigs of the cranberry, and is finely lineated with still darker lines. The head is speckled with brown, with a conspicuous transverse band across the vertex, and two rows of pale spots across the front. Just above the spiracles is a broad dusky band. Beneath, the body is paler, with a mesial clear line edged with brown. It is.80 of an inch in length. Mr. Fish states that the owner of the bog flowed it with water so that it was completely covered and the worms were killed. This is a rapid' and the most effectual way to exterminate insects ravaging cranberry lots. PntALiDiE Latreille. The Snout-mo...
