Extract

The larva of Argyresthia laricella Kft., the larch shoot moth, bores in the shoots of larch killing the apical portion. It has been collected from tamarack, Larix laricina (DuRoi) K. Koch, European larch, L. decidua Mill., and western larch, L. occidentalis Nutt., but not from Japanese larch, L. leptolepis (Sieb. and Zucc.) Gord., nor alpine larch, L. lyalli Parl., although Japanese larch trees were examined at Fredericton, New Brunswick, and near Burlington, Vermont. This insect has never been considered a serious pest.
