Adult Leopard Moths, Female at Left Natural sixe

By w. e. BRITTON and G. A.
CROMIE. Connecticut Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The leopard moth occurs in Europe
and parts OF Asia and Africa, and was
probably accidentally introduced into
this country from Europe more than
thirty years ago, being first noticed at
Hoboken, N. j., and later spreading to-
ward the north and east along the
coast.
The larvae or caterpillars cause
great damage to nearly all kinds OF
shade trees by boring in the branches
Just under the bark and cutting large

an expanse of one and three-fourthi
inches in the male to two and one-half
inches In the female. The larva -
yellow or dirty white, marked with
brown or black dots, and about two
inches long. See illustrations.
The moths appear about July I, the
males being very common around cleo
trio lights, and the females lay eggs
singly or in groups of two, three or
four, in the crevices Of the bark or
near the buds. The larvae, Matching
In few days, begin to tunnel In the
twigs, and by the end Of the season
are about one inch in length. They
leave the small branches and crawl
over the bark to enter larger ones,
cutting galleries in them and expelling
the frass through round holes, which
they soon close with silk webs. Dur
ing October the borers go deeper into
the wood and remain through the win
ter two inches or more beneath the
bark They pupate in their burrows
the second spring, and before the
moth energies the pupa works itself
| partly out of the opening, and the
adult flies away, leaving the empty
| case protruding from the burrow.
There are few natural checks, only
one parasite being known in this
country and four in Europe. 1t is be-
| lieved, however, that certain birds,
especially woodpeckers, prevent the
spread of the leopard moth in the open
country. Many larvae are doubtless
killed by the breaking off OF the
branches, which in cities are carted
away and destroyed.
Removing infested branches; inject
ing carbon disulphide (bisulphide) into
the burrows, and stopping the open
ing; probing with hooked wire for
the larva, are some of the methods OF
| control.
Planting species Of trees not badly
infested, like oaks, honey locust and
sycamore, and especially those kinds
that do not grow very large, and have
a smooth bark; placing trees further
apart, so that the larvae cannot easily
crawl from one to the other; and
keeping the trees we'll nourished and
vigorous, are the chief preventive
measures.
