. Insects injurious to fruits. Illustrated with four hundred and forty wood-cuts. Insect pests. ATTACKING THE LEAVES. 345 Fig. 357. measures an inch or more in length, is of a whitish color, with a wide yellow stripe down the back, another of the same char- acter along each side, and a number of black spots of different sizes upon each segment. The under side is white with a slight tinge of pink, is also spotted with black, and has a wide yellow stripe down the mid- dle. There is but one brood of this insect in a year; hence there is no probability of its ever becomino- so for- midable a pest as the imported saw-fly. The eggs, which are very pretty (see Fig. 358, which shows one much magnified at a, and others of the natural size at 6), are attached to the stems and twigs in the autumn, and remain in this condition until spring, w^hen they hatch about the time the bushes are in full leaf, the larvae attaining their full growth within three or four weeks. When ready for their next change, they descend to ihQ ground, and, having penetrated a short distance under the surface, change to dark-brown chrysalids about half an inch long (see 3, Fig. 357), in which condition they remain two or three weeks or more, when the perfect insects are liberated. The moth (Fig. 359) is of a pale-yellowish color, with several dusky spots, which vary in size and form, being more.
