Extract

The life history of the army cutworm moth (Chorizagrotis auxiliaris Grote), the larvae of which over-winter in the soil and mature early in the spring, is characterized by a spring flight in June, their almost complete disappearance during the early part of July and re-appearance during the latter part of August. The period during which they disappear is termed by other workers as an aestivation.
