GIrault, Engaged in Do ciduous Fruit Insect Investlga Hon for tho Department of Agricul turc. Ovtposltlon commences soon after growth and boslna to pupato and copulation and continues throughout 4ho llfo of tho fomalo. On warm sun wy dayB It may begin as early as S o'clock In tho morning, In tho south, and continue at Intervals through tho -tJny until as Into as 4:30 p. m. On Tory "windy or stormy days tho fe- ala la Inactive, hiding in tho grass -In the orchnrd for shelter, and on 'cloudy days sho Is less actlvo than on dear ones. During tho period of ovl- fosltlon sho flies very rapidly, and 3a hardly discernible until sho alights en tho trunk of a tree; sho then anoves slowly over tho bark and feels "with tho end of tho yellowish ovi positor for a rough plnco or crovlco, whore sho usually places an egg. Ovi positing females are exceedingly diffi cult to follow with tho eye, and In this respect they differ markedly Jrom the comparatively sluggish and sioro conspicuous females of tho jpcach borer. Further, they are np jiarontly more c.reful in placing eggs, always selecting a placo which will snake It easier for tho larva to get into tho mark, though enough, obscr- Tatlons have not been made on this to justify a positive statement In flight both soxes resemblo wasps and make a distinct buzzing sound. Tho males are seldom seen. Tho oths havo never been observed to Seed, except on moisture, and in con "3nnemcnE show no marked attention to sweotened water.

The number of generations occur teg with an Insect ot this kind is es pecially difficult to determine becanso r the nature of its habits. In Geor--Sia some attemps have been made iy this Bureau during the past two to obtain an acurate knowledgo on 4hls point by keeping periodical re cords of speciments taken from a somber of peach trees during the nUre breeding season. So far, .lowoTor, tho data obtained does not 'warrant a definite or positive state ment concerning the actual number securing. They are, however, suffi cient to indicate more or less clearly "that a partial second generation during the breeding season docs oc cur. Aa previously stated, throughout tho winter tho larva may bo found In all instars, excepting perhaps the o that recently hatched and nearly tall-grown speciments are present. tho former indicating lato fall, the latter late summer ovlposltion. .As soon as spring begins to open the Aid larva begins to pupate, emerg ing a month later as adults; tho Toung larvae feed and grow rapid ly, pupating In their turn, and pro ducing a contlnous supply ot moths. Tho moths from the hibernating lar "rea produco another mixed genera tion of larvea which reaches full emerge ae moth In tho lato summer and early fall. In turn thoso early fall adults oviposit, producing a mix ed generation of larvea throughout tho fall of tho year; these pass tho winter and mnturo tho following spring. Hcnco two cycles of this In sect are Indicated during tho calen dar year In tho latitude of Georgia. A clearer conception of tho probablo occurrence of these two generations may bo obtained by consulting Table II. In Georgia, In 1906, tho first pu pa of what may bo called tho winter generation was found on February 27, and by the middle of March they wcro common. A month later, lu April, tho adults of thnt generation wero common, continuing so through out May and part of June. Dy tho latter part of May tho pupa became scarce, showinc by this dato that tho winter generation was practically ov er. From that uato on wo conciuuo that the larvea then present in tho trees were practically all of the next, or summer, generation. By tho last week In July, pupa were again found In numbers and continued to Increase well into September, when adults of tho summer generation were observed ovipositing. Tho winter generation therefore, became established mainly In the latter part of August and dur ing the whole of September, and tho larvea from eggs deposited then had ample time to obtain at least two months' steady growth beforo being disturbed by cold wea'er. The fore going statement Is based on a series of specimens collected weekly throughout the entire season of 1906, from February to September, at Wyr tle, Ga., by A. R. Rosonfeld and tho author, combined with records obtained by Mr. James II. Beattle, during the Investigations in 1905 at Fort Valley, Ga. Observations made in tho vicinity ot Odenton, Md., and Washington, D. C., shows that tho pupa were present in the (firing as early as tho first week In April and that adults issued from these during the first week In May. Tho pupa continued pre sent at late as May 3, and thereafter we havo no record. Mr. Fred John son, of the Bureau, records seeing adults at North East, Pa., on May 29; i and at Niagara, Canada Juno 23, 1905 Mr. Qulntance fouond larvao nearly or qulto full grown, the pupa and adult. were present.
