Valuable Parasitic FLY.

A recent agricultural department
bulletin states that a parasitic fly,
cOmpsilura civinnata, has been used
with great success to destroy gypsy
moth and brown-tail moth in New Eng
land. It will also aid in the control Of
other insect pests. A few years ago
the White-marked tussOck moth was a
serious pest in New England, but has
disappeared since cOmpsi-
lura became established. The cabbage
worm, the celery worm and the fall
webwOrm have all been reduced by
the activities Of the new parasite.
