Fig. Zi.—Loxostege sUcHcalis: a, moth, twice natural size; b, larva, less enlarged; c, upper surface of first proleg segment of larva; d, side view of same; c, d, more enlarged (reengraved after Insect Life, Division of Entomology). wings fully expanded it measures nearly an inch and is of a purplish brown color, with darker and paler bands, as shown in figure 34, a. The pale-yellow eggs are laid singly or in rows of two to five or more, overlapping like scales. The young webworms are whitish, with polished black head and piliferous spots. Mature caterpillars (h) are darker than the garden webworm, with a preponderance in longitudinal markings. It is an inhabitant of western and central Europe and northern Asia, and has evidently, like the beet army worm, been introduced from the Orient on the Pacific coast, and is now slowly but steadily pushing its way eastward. In 1869 it came under observation in Utah, and b}^ 1873 had found its wa}^ to Missouri. It occurs southward to Kansas and as far north and east as Michigan, but the major portion of reported injuries have occurred in Kansas and Nebraska. Practically all that is known of the biology of this webworm is from «Eiley & Howard, Insect Life, Vol. Y, pp. 320-322; Vol. VI, pp. 369-373; Chit- tenden, Bui. 33, new series, pp. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
