The pyralids. The third family, Pyralidac, includes some half dozen families of quite di- verse appearance and habits, among which are the larger "micros," some of the largest having a wing expanse of one and one half inches and being larger than the smaller forms of the macrolepidoptera. Many of the caterpillars be- longing to this group attack low-growing vegeta- tion, the garden web-worm (Lo- xostcgc simila- //>) being one which now and then becomes a pest in various parts of the country, attacking gar- den crops, sugar beets and young cotton, and corn.
