TO CONTROL BROWN-TAIL MOTH Assistant Entomologist B. H. Walden Suggests Spraying With Arsenate of Lead and Cutting and Burning Winter Nests—Danger That Whole State May Be Infested The presence of the browntail moth icate the in Norwich and vicinity, as detected the last week or two, may be regaxded as the spread of this insect from the northeast corner of this state and from over the border of Rhode Island, which state and Massachusetts the pest has infested for the past several years. It! is not the first ttme that the browntail moth has been in Norwich, for last fall yopresentatives of State Entomologist Dr. W. E. Britton were here from the Commecticut _Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven and looked the territory oven, finding a number- of nests. It is considered quite frobable at the State Fxperiment Station that moths that recently made their ap- pesrance are from a few nests that were overiooked last winter.

The ?SRE are usually laid in oval clusters of from 200 to 400 eggs each. and on the under side of a leaf. The eggs are laid the first three weeks of July, and the masses are reddish brown from the hairs of the female moth, and about three-fourths of an inch long. The eggs are spherical, and yel- low in color. They hatch in from 15 to 20 ‘days after being deposited. The Caterpiliar. The young caterpillars, after hatoh- |ing from the eggs late in July or early 'in August, feed at first on the leaf containing the egg mass, but later oth- er leaves are devoured, In September a | number of leaves are drawn together | pest of vegetation as the and fastened and lined with the silk spun by the caterpillars, making a nest s and |in which the larvae spend the winter, a hundred or more sometimes living in {one nest.
