Some of them may have been indigenous, forCut-worms were mentioned by Gov. Butler in 1619, as injurious tothe crops ; but they are all species easily introduced in the larvalstate, in the earth attached to the roots of living plants. 131b.

The destructive larva called the grub by the farmers in Ber-muda is probably the larva of four or more species of cut-wormmoths, and some allied genera. According to the notes of Miss Vic-toria Hayward it is a nocturnal larva that attacks the young plantsof potatoes, etc., especially of onions, often doing great damage tothe latter. They are most abundant in January and February, butare active from December to June. They often destroy large num-bers of seedling onions in the beds, and are so fond of Birds-eyePeas that these can hardly be planted safely before July. They areoften caught in large numbers by hand
