Creator Transcript
  • Tent caterpillars (cont'd [continued]) July 3/42 [1942] This morning we found dipterous grubs on and around the stove + other equipment, in frying pan + on seither side of tent fly. Hardy ibserved them dropping on tent fly during early morning. Others fell during the day, apparently from cocoons in the trees. Hardy + Geo. [George?] Forbes gathered 100 cocoons from nearby shrubs for examination. Results. - a) 70 of them contained caterpillars which had failed to pupate. Of these all contained dipterous larvae; some contained several. b) 30 contained pupae, most of which appeared to be in a weakened condition. July 4-7 Maggots continued to drop from cocoons, particularly at night or in early morning. When the tent was taken down ont he 7th several cocoons, of the many attached to the canvas, contained pupae of the parasite. Apparently they [illegible word crossed out] had been unable to get free of the cocoon + so had pupated in the meshes of the [illegible word].
