ANTS AND BErIIES EATING
NOXIOUS COOLING KIOTO
Stadias of Destructive Insect la Ap
palachian led on by U. B. Depart
ment of Agriculture Reveals Great
Baling to Apple Balaam
Washington, D. C., March 36.—Un
der the title, "Studies of the Codling
Moth in the Central Appalachian Re
gion," entomological specialists of the
17. tj. Department of Agriculture have
reported the results of investigations
ef this apple destroying insect carried
on since 1911 in Virginia, West 'Vir
ginia, and Maryland. The studies
were conducted principally at Char
lottesville, Fishersville, Grtenwood and
Winchester, Va.; Keyser, French Creek
and Pickens. W. Va.; aud Hagerstown,
Smithsburg and Hancock, Md.
The purpose of the study was to de
termine the breeding habits of these
euemies to the apple industry, which
have developed recently throughout
the Central Appalachian section to an
extent which makes its coutrol of in
creasing importance. The investigators
gave special attention to determining
the breeding habits of the pest and to
discovering the effect of elevation and
temperature on its control. They also
made a special study of natural ene
mies which in this region tend to re
due,e the number of larvae.
The results of their study are re
ported iu Bulletin No. 189, which con
tains 49 pages and a number of dia
grams and illustrations. By putting
burlap around many unspraved apple
trees, over 20,000 specimens of larvae
were collected and placed in containers
so that habits could be studied.
Following is a partial summary of
the results obtained:
During a single year the codling
[ moth, iu tbe region covered by the
present studies, produces one full brood
[of larvae au-.i a partial second brood,
'the size of the second brood depending
more or less on the latitude and alti
tude of the locality.
The studies show a marked differ
ence in the time of appearance of the
different broods in different localities.
Charlottesville gave the earliest rec
ords for practically all broois and
Pickens the latest. There seems, how
ever, to be no constant rate of differ
ence between the earlier and later lo
calities. This seems to be largely due
to the responsiveness of the species
during its metaiuorphic changes to lo
cal and transient weather conditions.
During the time of the investigation
the fit-st-brood larvae began entering
the fruit at Charlottesville from April
2S to May 15, and second-brood larvae
from June 35 to July 1, At Pic Kens
first-brood larvae began entering the
fruit from June 20, to July 1. and sec
ond-brood larvae about August 10. Be
tween these two localities there is a
greater difference in the time of thi>
regular periodical changes of the insect
that occur >ate in the season than of
those that occur early in the season.
This is probably duo to the cumulative
retarding effect of the more frequent
unfavorable weather conditions at the
higher point.
Records of the numbers of larvae
collected from trees on which bauds
were placed around the trunks and also
around the bases of the larger branch
es indicate that 41.49 per cent, drop
to the ground and then ascend tho
trunk to pupate and 55.51 per cent,
crawl down the branches from the in
fested fruit to pupate.
Two specimens of ants (Soleitopsis
moiesta Say and Ijasius niger Li vat
am erica mi Emery) were found in sev
eral localities devouring codling-moth
larvae, larvae and adults of the bee
tle Tcnebroides cortiealis Melsh. were
found frequently feeding ou codliug
uioth larvae and pupae. Six species of
hvmenopterous and one of dipterous
parasites were'reared in the jars. Of
these the most destructive to the cod
ling moth wero> Ascogaster earpoeapsae,
Vier. and Itopleetis marginatus Prov.
Hairworm parasites (Mermis sp.) were
abundant iu one locality aud very ma
terially reduced the number of winter
ing larvae in the year 1911.
