This very important and wide
spread parasite of caterpillars is
found in California, Texas. Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, New York,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Virginia and the District Of Co.
lumbia. Some claim 1t is now to
be found all over the United States
except the coolest sections. Every
where 1t goes it serves man by
making the caterpillars furnish
both nursery and food supply for
its own offspring. It does not re-
strict itself to one species Of cater
pillar. Any soft bodied and juicy
one will do, and you should see how
very vigorous are the postures as
sumed by the helpless victim when
she Is the chosen receptacle for the
1chneumon brood. There is no
hope for the caterpillar. The de-
termined fly can put her plan
across. and it makes no real differ
ence to her how much her victim
squirms. 1t may delay the placing
Of her eggs slightly, but she has
nothing else on her mind, 50 why
be disturbed?
The adult pinpla is glossy black
with a wing spread of about three
quarters Of an inch. The size of
the mother really depends upon
the abundance of food or lack of
it during her infancy. This may
be the reason that the 1chneumon
mother seeks the tussock moth
caterpillar and the army worm, for
they furnish such an ample supply
of nourishment that husky sons and
daughters will step forth in Is days
to carry on the family traditions.
Sometimes the mother cannot
find proper food and lodging for
her children, and she may have to
look about for several weeks be-
fore she can accomplish her mission
In life. In this case she remains on
earth much longer than she would
have If the hosts had been on the
scene.
The cocoons made by the sum-
mer pimplas are much more airy
affairs than those woven by the
second generation, who must winter
over. The latter spin q finer silk
for the inside coverlet with an out
side that resembles parchment.
