The surface injury is rather more common, the hirva eating out just under the skin hirge irregular winding or blotch mines. Larvae of this species apparently do not reach full development as earlv in the fall as those of the codling moth, and manv find their way into barrels where they continue to feed, occasionally doing considerable damage. The larvae are small, flesh-colored cater- pillars, measuring about three-eighths of an inch long and are easily confounded with those of the codling moth. The moth is about one-fourth inch long, generally of a rusty red color with grayish markings. Treatment.— The insect is controlled by the same treatments as recommended for the codling moth. GREEN FRUIT WORMS These insects sometimes do serious injury by eating into the young apples. They also attack pears, plums, cherries, peaches and quinces. The full-grown cater- pillars measure from an inch to nearly an inch and a half in length. They are green or yellowish-green in color with various irregular markings and stripes, the most prominent of the latter being a narrow, cream-col- ored one down the middle of the back and a wider one along each side. The caterpillars are most destructive during May, soon after the fruit has formed. They continue feeding until about the middle of June. They feed mostly at night, resting on the under- sides of the leaves during the day. Fig. 135.
