. Injurious insects of the orchard, vineyard, field, garden, conservatory, household, storehouse, domestic animals, etc., with remedies for their extermination . gall-like swelling in the canes ; this swelling is about aninch long, and is very rough as compared with the rest of thecane. Occasionally several larvae will be found inhabiting thegame gall, thus lengthening the latter and causing it to assumea very irregular shape. —Raspberry Borer, en-larged ; b, the larva—color, yel-lowish ; a, the hind part of itsbody still more enlarged; c, thebeetle — colors, black and cop-pery-red. When fully grown, the larva(Fig. 1976) measures about sevenlines in length, and is of a yel-lowish-white color; the first segment behind the head is greatlydilated on each side, and the last segment is armed with twodark brown horns, each with three teeth on the inner edge. Itassumes the pupa form within the gall in April or May, andthe perfect beetle (Fig. 197c) issues in the course of a few weeks. This species has been reported to me as infesting the black-berry in this State, but I have not seen any specimens. Remedies.—Use No. 27, 28, 37, or CHAPTER CXVI.
