The gooseberry and the currant arc subject in the United States and Canada to the attack of various insects, which do a great deal of to them. One of the most frequent causes of injury to these plants are the larvse of the Gooseberry .Span-worm, which Is represented in Fig. 204. It is, when mature, about an inch in length, bright yellow in color, marked with dark-brown spots upon the segments. The eggs, which are laid by the female at ^M,n"rMASXo' "^^ "'' of J""^ °' "^^ '''8i"â¢"8 "f July, are very minute, but upon examination under the microscope are seen to be beautifully ornamented with deep pits or sculpturings. They are pale bluish-green. The eggs are attached by the female to the stems and branches of the plants, not far from the ground. Being almost microscopic in size, they readily elude observation, and this, it is known, accounts for the fact that the insects are often, by the transplantation of the shrubs, transferred fi-cm one locality to another in which they have been previously unknown. The eggs, having been laid, remain through the sum- mer and fall and all of the succeeding winter in a dormant state, and do not hatch until early In the following spring, when the leaves are beginning to put out upon the bushes. ^40.
