The moths soon pair, and the female flits from blossom to blossom, deftly depositing in the calyx of each a tiny yellow egg. As the fruit matures, the worm develops. In thirty-three days, under favorable circumstances, it has become full-fed; when, leaving the apple, it spins up in some crevice, changes to a chrysalis in three days, and issues two weeks after- wards as moth, ready to deposit again, though not always in the favorite calyx this time, as I have frequently found the young worm entering from the ; The best remedy for the coddling-moth is to destroy all wind- falls and immature fruit lying upon the ground.
