A New INSECT AND ITS DELIBERATIONS -
W. read in the Troy, N. Y, Press, of the
l7,h
A new species of insect has appeared
in some parts Of the State, which is hard
on the horse chestnut trees. The trees
are being rapidly stripped of their leaves
and will soon he as bare of foliage as The
mast of a vessel. 1t will be a wonder if
the trees are not killed. A large white
caterpillar first makes its appearance
This cuts its way into the bark of the tree
in various places along The trunk. In a
few days The caterpillar builds itself a
little tenement resembling a little tunnel
shaped piece Of pasteboaid, about an
inch long by a quarter Of an inch wide.
In a few days, from this structure emer-
ges an insect a quarter Of an inch long,
resembling at first sight a piece of wool.
On examination the insect is found to re-
semble a.fat, woolly pig, four legs, a tail
and two distinct eyes. This insect, or
animal, disappears in a day or two, and
where be was last seen appear my,iads
of the most singular looking insects ever
seen, about the size of house flies, cover
ing the limbs of trees nearly over. They
set at work Immediately on the leaves,
and in a short time strip the branches
clean. The trunks of the trees, after the
terpillar has done his work, look ex-
ac;ly as trees that have been cut length.
