Itlays its eggs on the leaves during the month of August, and a new broodof larvae appears in September, though they hatch mostly in the follow-ing spring or early in June, and become fully grown in July. The larva seen from above is much like that of Lozotcenia rosaceana,but the head is a little larger in proportion to the rest of the body, be-ing as wide as the body in its thickest part. The body is more hairy,while the prothorax isnot dark. The chrysalis is rather slender, the.

Mr. Fish writes me that these larvae, called the cranberry-vine worms,hatch about the 1st of June from eggs that have remained upon theleaves of the plant all winter. They commence to feed upon the tendergrowing shoots of the plant, drawing the leaves together with their netfor shelter, concealing themselves and feeding within. Before reachingtheir full size they, if very numerous, almost wholly destroy the leavesand tender shoots, giving the whole bog a dark dry appearance, as thougha fire had been over it. This is why they are in some places known asfire-worms. Having reached their full .size they spin among theleaves or among the dead leaves upon the ground. After remaining in thepupa state about tenorthirteen days themothscome out and deposit theireggs upon the leaves. This year the mo
