The Cigar Case-Bearer {Coleophora Fletcherella) and The Pistol Case-Bearer (C. malivorella), Fig. 19. These curious insects are to be found in early spring on the buds of apple and other fruit-trees. They are tiny yellow caterpillars which pass the winter in curved cases formed of pieces of leaves cut out for the purpose; in spring they move to the opening buds and devour the tissue of the leaves. The small shining steel-grey moths of the first species appear about the end of July and lay their eggs, from which the caterpillars are soon hatched, and attain about one-fourth of their growth before winter. At this time they are enclosed in brown leathery cigar-shaped cases and feed upon the soft substance of the leaves; the winter cases are curved and broader. The other species which forms cases is not so common in Ontario, but may occasionally prove troublesome; its habits are similar to of the Cigar Case-bearer. Both may be kept in check by the sprayings already referred 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 Bethune, Charles
