Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: ...lower edge of the hind wings. Dusting or spraying with arsenate of lead or Paris green will kill the young worms if the application is made early, before they bore into the squares. The Wheat-head Army-worm (Meliana albilinea Hbn.) Naked, dark brown or green, striped caterpillars eat into the heads of wheat, or other small grains, and in the same way are destructive on the heads of timothy. Their work is confined largely to the kernels, the chaff falling to the ground. Fio. 265.--The Wheat-head Army-worm. Larva and adult, natural size, and work in wheat head, enlarged. Original.

Blossoms, leaves, and stems, also, are injured, but the damage to the fruit is the most serious. The adult is a handsome moth, brownish in color, with large, clear areas in its wings, and expanding one to one and a quarter inches. At the end of the abdomen is a brush of brown hairs. There are four generations in a season. The winter is pas...
