This also is said to be a variety of No. remedies, see No. 227. No. 230.—The Red-striped Cranberry Worm. This larva, which is shown in Fig. 385, has been observedby Dr. Packard injuring the heads of cranberry-plants inMassachusetts. It draws and fastens the leaves together andfeeds on their upper surface, and sometimes constructs a tubeof silk between two leaves, when the latter are severed fromtheir connection with the branch and held in place by silkenthreads. In these instances the leaves speedily wither andturn brown, and it often happens that the tips of vines overlarge patches will present a brosvu and withered aspect fromthis cause. 372 INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE CRANIiKRIiV.
