The eggs are soon laid, and by September 1 the voracious larvae are capable of doing much damage. In the mid- dle or latter part of this month the larvae of this second brood are ready to pupate. They pass the winter in the pupal stage, the moths emerging the following Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been
