To secure accurate data in regard to the life history and the seasonal history of the codling-moth in Illinois, and the relation of climatic conditions to the rate of development and the time of appearance of the various stages of the insect, an investigation was begun in the spring of 1915 under the direction of Doctor S. A. Forbes, then State Entomologist.

AbstractLaspeyresia cupressana (Kearfott) (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae) bores in the scale tissue of cones, the healthy phloem tissue of branch nodes and trunks, and damaged sites on plants of certain Cupressaceae and Taxodiaceae. The moth primarily attacks Cupressus macrocarpa Hartw. in coastal California where it passes through two generations annually, one in spring–summer and the other in fall–winter. Several parasites and predators were regularly found associated with Laspeyresia in the cones. Branch and trunk feeding occasionally is severe, but was never observed to cause dieback or tree death. The moth was frequently observed infesting sites on plants damaged by the fungus Coryneum cardinale Wagener.

Seasonal History

In southwestern Ontario the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hbn.), produces two flights annually. The first flight, beginning in June, consists of moths from larvae that have overwintered. The midsummer, or second, flight begins late in July or early in August, and its moths are the progeny of the first flight. Until about 20 years ago the borer produced only one annual flight and was thought to be univoltine. The change in the seasonal history of the borer in Ontario was described by Wressell (1953) and Miller (1956). The literature describing similar changes in parts of the United States has been reviewed by Lees (1955) and Everett et al. (1958). Wressell (1953) summarized light trap collection data of moth flights in the Chatham, Ontario, area for the years 1932 to 1951. The summary includes the percentage of the moths that were from the midsummer flight, and it is evident that the size of this flight varies greatly from year to year. Aside from its intrinsic interest, it would be of some economic value to know what governs the size of the midsummer flight. This is a report of studies undertaken to examine the case, and to relate the findings to the larger problem of why the borer now produces a second flight where formerly it produced only one.
