THE GARDEN WEBWORM. {L(}.i()i<ti'(/e siinl/alis (luen. Fig. 4.) In Texas and the Southwest, the common name which has been given this insect seems hardly suitable, for there it is primarily a pest of corn and cotton and onl}' incidentally a garden insect. In 1903 very serious and widespread damage in north Texas and Oklahoma, as well as in other parts of Texas, to young cotton and corn, necessitated replanting after the plants were well started. This injury occurred generally during the first two weeks of June. In 1904 the first moths were taken at trap light at College Station, April 10, 21, and 21. At Terrell the first was taken at light on May 21, and during the season there were more specimens of this moth.
