Extract

During the summer of 1930 it was observed that large numbers of eggs of the Oriental fruit moth (Laspeyresia molesta Busck.) were being destroyed by some enemy which pierced the shell and sucked out the contents. The presence of many chrysopid larvae on the trees indicated that these might be responsible for the destruction of the eggs.
