Extract

The pine leaf miner (Exoteleia pinifoliella (Chamb.)), a native insect attacking several species of thick-needled pines (1), is generally distributed throughout the Atlantic States from Southern Ontario (4) to Georgia (3). In the vicinity of Syracuse, N.Y., there is but one generation a year. The insect overwinters in the larval form, begins pupation in early May, and flight and oviposition take place a month later.
