The infected Grapes are usually perceived late in July by adiscolored spot where the worm has entered. The larvais of a whitish green color ; if thecontents of one berry are not suffi-cient to satisfy it, it draws two orthree berries together by means ofsilk threads or web, and thenpasses from one to another. Asit approaches maturity it becomesdarker in color, with a black head,and a body of yellowish green, andis then about one-fourth of an inchin length. When the larva is full. GRAPE BKRRY MOTH. OUR NATIVE GRAPE. 71 grov/n it cuts an oval flap from the leaf and turns it back and fastens it over itself,forming an enclosure, which it lines with silk, where it remains until it has passedthe chrysalis state. The perfect insect is here shown enlarged, the diagram under-neath indicates the full size. The body is greenish brown, the fore wings a dullbluish shade with dark brown bands and spots, and the hind wings a dull brown. Itis said there are two broods in one season. As it is possible that some of the last brood pass the winter attached to the leaves,if these were gathered and burned, a large number of insects would perish andthe infested Grape might also be gathered and destro3ed. The insect is attacked bya small parasite, which doubtless does its part toward keeping the enemy in to Professor Riley, this insect is an imported species from Europe, wher
