On the middle of the inner margin is a large, oval patch of dark brown, forming, when the wings are closed, a conspicu- o IS, nearly round spot; there is a wide streak of the same hue opposite, ex- tending to the front margin, and a dark- brown spot near the tip. In the figure the moth is shown highly magnified. Sometimes this insect appears in immense numbers, and then becomes injurious. Remedies,—As the cocoons of the second brood remain attached to the trees all winter, abundant opportunity is afforded to destroy them. Any oily or alkaline liquid brushed over them will usually penetrate and destroy the enclosed insect. A minute parasitic fly is destructive to this pest, and the cocoons may often be found perforated with small round holes at one end, through which these tiny friends have escaped. No. 54.—The Apple Lyonetia. Lyonetia saccatella Packard. This is a tiny moth, but a very beautiful one, which ap- pears early in the summer; its wings, when expanded, meas- ure only one-fifth of an inch across. It is shown, much magnified, in Fig. 117. The fore wings are of a light slate-gray on the inner half, while the outer half is bright orange, enclosing two white bands, one arising on the front edge, the other on the inner margin, both nearly meeting in the middle of the wing; these white bands are margined externally with black.
