Extract

The eye-spotted bud moth, Spilonota ocellana (D. & S.), has been and continues to be an orchard pest of considerable economic importance in the temperate zone of North America. During the past seven years, observations have been made on the ecology of this insect in Nova Scotia. Among the biotic agents found attacking it is the hymenopterous parasite Agathis laticinctus (Cress.) [Microdus ocellanae Richardson].
