which looked so sharply after his plums,
and would present a few facts relating to
its habits. The perfect insect is about
one-fifth of an inch long, dark brown,
variegated with white, yellow and black
spots, and when shaken from a tree drops
like a dried bud and remains motionless,
feigning death. They not only‘ injure
the plum crop, but attack apples, peaches,
etc, as well. They appear about thg

When the plums are the sine of pears the
female slings and deposits is single egg
from place to place. The grub hatches
by the heat of the Sun, burrows to the
stone, which affects the stem, causing
the plum to fall to the ground. The
grub grows full allied, enters the ground
about the middle of J line and August in
New Engand, and becomes a pu‘ssa;
comes forth a perfect insect’iu about
three weeks. There are several broods

they pass the winter above ground.
