of the third can only be seen. Length
of larva after the third moult is about
one inch.
The color of the caterpillar after the
fourth moult is the one the general
observer of this insect recognizes, and
it is to this stage that the common
name of the pecan caterpillar APP
plies.
Immediately after the fourth and
last moult the caterpillar is a pale
red, with head and thoracic plate very
light red, the faint traces of lines one
and three are still present, but in a
short time Zone half to one hour) the
whole body has darkened; the two
white lines on each side of body, es-
pecially the broad one below the
spiracles, and the long white hair dis
tributed over the body become prom
inent. This deepening of the color of
the body occurs a short time after
each moult, but after none is the con-
trast so striking as the last.
The length of the full grown cater
pillar is one inch and one-half.
The adult moth is buff colored;
head light brown, prothorax darker
brown; forewings with four trans
verse brown stripes. These, with the
base and outer margin of the wings
divide them into five areas, the first
is triangular and about the same col
or as the band-like third and fourth
areas, the second is darker brown
than the rest of the wing and out
lines distinct band across it. Length
of body little over one half inch, ex-
panse of wings one inch and three
quarters.
posting the eggs has already been
mentioned. The larvae on Matching
feed on the parenchyma of the leaves,
leaving the epidermis of the opposite
side of leaf on which they are feeding.
After the first moult they begin eat
ing the entire tissue of the leaf be
tween the large ribs, and after the
second moult even the large ribs will
be eaten if the food be scarce. The
caterpillars are gregarious through
out all of the larval life, except to-
ward it's close, when they may he
found feeding singly. This may be
accounted for by their feeding a little
as they wander about the branches
previous to descending the tree for
pupation There is little wandering
from one limb to another until ust
before pupation. In a few instances
the caterpillars have been observed to
change from one branch to another,
but this was just prepare tory to
moulting, when more or less restless
ness is manifested. The caterpillars
are not easily shaken from their feed
ing places, but will when disturbed
raise the fore part of their bodies and
suddenly jerk them from one side to
the other. Perhaps one of the most sig
nificant habits connected with the de-
velopment of this insect is that when
about to moult the last time they de-
scend to the trunk of the tree and
there punched together upon the
rough bark, ecdysis takes place. AS

Pecan Caterpillar.

other enemies attacking this species
of nut. 1t may be somewhat mislead-
ing to use the term pecan caterpillar
to this species, since there are many
others which attack pretty vigorously,
but since this name seems well fixed
AS a comma name it may not be wise
to suggest another. Then, too, in
Louisiana this caterpillar is, by far,
more common, and a great deal more
destructive than any other species oc-
curing ON the pecan. The web worm
OIyphantria cunea) and the caterpir
lar of a species of Catocala may he
COMPOUNDED with the Datana caterpil
lar by those not familiar with insects
yet the web of the hyphantria and
the only occasional appearance of the
Catocala may serve to differentiate
them.
The eggs of this insect are de-
posted in large patches of from 500
to 1900 in each in single layer over
the under surface of leaves upon the
lower branches of the trees. They
are usually to be found upon ;a1ge
leaves where the growth is most
dense. The incubating period we have
lot been enabled to determine ac-
curately, but from data at hand be-
lieve it not to be longer than five days.
The eggs when first deposited are of
light green color, which, upon ex-
posture, becomes whittier and whittier,
so that at Matching time they appear
marble white especially the upper
quarter, which seems to cap the rest
veX surface of the cap is located a mi
nute opening, the micropyle. The
larvae emerging from the eggs usual
ly break off the entire cap, while a
parasite coming forth from the egg
seems only to enlarge the micropyle.
The examination of single egg
shows it to be cylindrical in shape,
the diameter a little less than the
length, fattened below and convex
above, the general surface, except the
cap or upper end, glistening.
The young on Matching differ mate
rally from the full grown caterpillar
The body is Light colored, with long
irregular pinkish red splotches dis
tributed over the dOrSa1 Sl1rfacn. head
prothoracic plate, and anal plate,
black; behind the thoracc plate, runs
ming gitudinally, are six rows of
black spots, which, together with the
head, and anal and thoracic plates,
bear long white hairs. Length of
this stage at Matching one eighth of
an inch.
The second stage, or that following
the first moult, was not observed. At
ter the second moult the caterpillars
are more genrally red, head, the
small thoracic plate, thoracic legs,
spiracles, anal plate, and longitudin-
al stripe on each proleg, black; the
four dorsal, longitudinal, light stripes,
and the broad one just below the spir-
acles becoming noticeable; the hair
distributed over the body, white, those
on the prothorax four times as long
as diameter of body. Length of body
about one half an inch.
