THE BUD MOTH
ORCHARD PEST
Likely to Trouble Our Maine
!. Orchards This Year-One of
Worst Pests known-Work in
Unfolding Flower and Leaf
Buds.

Orono. Me. March, 23-ISpeciaD-
AS the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station has noted in its bulletins the
bud moth is one Of the worst pests to
apple orchards in Maine. It works
in the unfolding flower and leaf buds
Of orchard trees, often doing great
damage to the crop, besides attacking
nursery stock and young trees. 1t is
a European insect but is now widely
distributed in the northern United
States and Canada. Besides the apple
it feeds upon the pear, plum, cherry,
ounce. and peach trees, and in Maine
has been bred from blackberry plants.
The caterpillars of the Bud Moth
We're particularly abundant last sea
son and orchardists should be on the
watch lest they continue their dam
age this spring.
The half grown, brown, alternating
caterpillars usually emerge from win
ter quarters about the time the buds
begin to expand, their first appearance
depending on the advance of the sea
son, and ranging over two or three
weeks. When they are out early. they
gnaw into the buds. If the buds are
open they crawl inside. They attack
both flower and leaf buds. fastening
the parts together with silken threads
forming a nest, within which they
feed upon the enclosed tender flower
or leaf parts. They do not confine
their depredations TO a single leaf or
flower in the bud, but increase the in
jury done by sampling nearly all.
They sometimes bore down the stems
few inches. killing the terminal
shoots. The bud attacked turns brown,
making the nest conspicuous. The
caterpillars feed, mostly at night, for
s or weeks. When full grown the
caterpillar forms a tube out of leaves.
which it lines with thin, closely woven
silk. and within it soon changes to
the pupa. In about 10 days the pupa
works its way nearly out Of the tube
by the hooks on its back The skin
splits open and the moth appears The
moths are on the wing during the lat
ter part Of June and the first of july.
They fly mostly al night, resting on
