Some consider this the second brood of the tent-caterpillar,but from the foregoing account it will at once be seen how wide-ly they differ. It hibernates in the pupa state, they in the eggstate ; it appears in midsummer and fall, they in the spring ; itsmoth is pure white, theirs reddish brown ; its eggs are depositedon the leaf and are hatched in a few days, theirs are depositedon the twig, so as to pass the winter on the tree ; this feedssolely upon the soft part of the leaf under its web, they devourthe whole leaf always on the outside of their tent. It will thusbe seen that the only time and best manner of exterminationmust be as above CODLING-MOTH. Carpocapsa Pomonella.
