rying its artificial case and devou.ing
several victims each day The full
grown larva is much larger than
bark louise and as it grows its case is
built out with silk and fragments of its
victims.
When full-grown it searches for
favorable position in which 10 fasten
its case usually selecting the angle
formed by two branches or a large
crevice in the BARK, prepares its co.
coon and transforms TO pupa. Before
transforming, however, the Larvae pre-
pares point of exit for the future
moth. Upon emerging from the CO.
coon the moth falls TO the ground
Three or four minutes later its
wings expand and it flies up among the
branches During daylight it remains
motionless, holding its wings close
to its body. The possibility of trans
porting the insects from place TO place
has received attention. 1t is found
that the half-grown larvae will live
eight days without nourishment. Nor
will they destroy each other as is the
case with most carnivorous larva
Placed in bottles they can be trans
ported long distances, and at the end
of the journey need only TO be placed
upon plants or trees infested with bark
lice. The cocoons containing full
grown Larvae will also stand journey
Of eight or ten days. In winter the
cocoons or eggs can be sent great dis
tances, and there is no reason why they
cannot be acclimated in all countries
where the injurious bark lice prevail.

five successive annual generations.

generation about a month later. About
the middle of July third and very

fourth appears near the end of August.
and the last month later. The first
and last generations are generally few
in number owing TO the scarcity of
food at those seasons of the year
The egg-laying period lasts several
days, each female producing about one
hundred. They are deposited, one at a
time, upon leaves or young buds and
are often laid directly upon the backs
OF bark lice. AS soon as Matched the
larva enters the bark louise, devouring
the internal organs, leaving only the
