THE Gypsy AND BROWN TAIL MOTHS.
We have just received notice
that seventy-fve nests of the Brown
Tail Moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea)
have been found on apple, cherry,
pear and other stocks received
from France, and wish to call the
attention of nurserymen and I'M
porters of stock of all kinds to the
serious nature of this insect pest,
and request that every one, VIA
has purchased any stock from
abroad, notify the State Etomolo-
gist, at once, in order that this
stock may be inspected.
The Brown Tail Moth is a CON-
mon European insect almost as de-
structive as the well-known Gypsy
Moth (Porthetria dispar), and was
introduced into this country at
Somerville, Mass, in 1890, on
nursery stock imported from Eu-
rope. -
The Gypsy Moth reached this
country about 1868. Massachu-
sets is the unfortunate State IN
which it escaped.
While number of insects have
been introduced into this country
from Europe, these are two OF the
worst. Fortunately they have not
become generally distributed, being
still confined to the New England
States.
Almost all fruit, shade, ornament
al and forest trees, except pines and
other conifers, are attacked by the
Brown Tail Moth, and the Gypsy
Moth includes also the pines and
other conifers and evergreens in It's
list of food plants. Almost moth
ing escapes injury where both these
insects are present.
They entirely defoliate trees after
they become plentiful. Trees who'll
| ly defoliated in this way, for two
or three years in succession, are
usually killed, and partial defolia-
ton greatly checks the growth and
causes distinct loss in value. The
great destruction of orchards, shade
and forest trees led to the large APP
preparation of large sums OF money
bv the State of Massachusetts and
the Uuited States Government for
fighting these pests, and prevent
ing their spread to other parts OF
the country.
They are, no doubt, among the
the oldest insects of Europe, but
do not become very destructive
oftener than once in three or four
wears because of the numerous
parasitic insects, which prey upon
them and help to keep them under
control. When such an insect IS
introduced into another country,
its parasites are often left behind.
Also. the insect itself, thrives where
its parasites do not. There is, usu-
allv, then, long period in which
such an insect, deprived GIFTS natur;
al checks, increases and spreads out
Of all reason.
Part of the appropriation of the
National Government is now being
used in introducing the primary
parasites of these two insects to
help in their control. Even with
all their natural enemies to help
hold them in check, they are very
destructive, and every effort she uld
be put forth to prevent the spread
of these pests to other parts of the
country. ): Il. fnliiiPS,,
