They could appropriately
linvo boon culled "cupmilu
cnrrlor" or "cocoon IrunsporU
cr" or nny of muny other
descriptive mimes, but instead
they wore nnnicr "easebniir-crs"-and
for tht vory best of
roii norm.
Tho orlvlmil and highly Im
aginative observer who first
discovered lind mimed them
wont further out on tho gram
miillcul limb by giving tho
various pcoli' spoclut names
cuch as "pistol ensebcaror"
mid "cigar casobuurar."
, There nro probiibly n hun
dred species of these Insect
found In North Amorlcn, Even
tho clothes-moth oolongs to
tho group, us does tho diamond-back
moth, coddling
mot h, frulHiroe-leuf-rollcr,
mid the Kuropenn corn borer,
along with bagworm and sug
arcane borer.
They nro nil downright pe
cullnr In their wny, but the
cnsxlwnrer Is about as strange
as they come. Like molluski
such as the clam, oyster and
whelk Unit live In the sea and
build about themselves n
limestone shell to protect their
oft bodies, the enscbearer
insect constructs a case or a
liken enpnile In which It
lives and, like the mollusk,
carries lu home along with
It. But with the insect the
ense Is not a shell, but a port
able homo mndo of silk,
The brownish moth with
tho slender wings lays her
eggs In or on the stems of
various plants, Tho larvae
Unit hutch from theso eggs
work and tunnel within the
tissues of the plant until Uicy
are midy to come out Into the
world. Then Uiey construct
tho silken bag, or case, Inside
of which they live. Bits of
leaf or parts of flower petals
re often worked Into the
case, so that It blends In bet
ter with tholr surroundings.
Carrying their portable
homo along, the larvae moves
about over the leaves of the
host plant, or In the case of
some species, over Uie prefer
red fruit on which Uicy feed.
Snug and cozy, but certainly
not warm, the larvao spend
the wintor In their case. When
spring comes the larvae have
completed their transforma
tion from larvne to brownish
moth.
They crawl forth, leaving
tho empty case attached to
the plant stem. They hove no
further uso for tho case now,
for thoy have become crea
tures with wings, capnble of
flight, with one thing In mind
-to find a sulUible place to
deposit their eggs so that the
nice of cnscbcnrcrs can con
tinue. Substantial Cast
One variety of casebearer,
known as tho "pistol case
benrer," constructs Its case of
more substantial materials.
The case is hnrd and shell
like, but has a shnrp right
anglo crook on one end that
barely resembles the hand
grip of a pistol. The "cigar
casebearer" constructs
Its "carrying-case" as a long,
lender capsule somewhat In
the shape of a blunt cigar,
.Tho bearer of tho case, In
instances associated with these
sometimes destructive Insects,
in not too familiar to most
pcopto but In a bouquet of
cut flowers on the front-room
table you may sometimes dis
cover the peculiar little port
ablo h omes attached to a
flower stem. It Is has a de
cided, right-angle crook at
the top end, you may have,
inside a specimen of the "pis
tol casc-benror;" one of the
many oddities of Uie world
of Uio Insects.
