Synopsis

Excerpt from The Fall Army Worm and Variegated Cutworm

The fall army worm is undoubtedly of Southern origin, and proof will be furnished to show that in its constant endeavors to obtain a per manent footing farther north than its natural range it is thwarted every few years by meteorologic conditions, the extreme cold of our more Northern States causing its death in great numbers in its hibernating quarters. On this hypothesis it would seem that the reappearance of the species in years after its destruction is to be accounted for by migrations of the moths from the South northward. The variegated cutworm, there is little doubt, is a foreign introduction, and was probably brought from the Old World at an early date, as the species has been known to naturalists for a considerable period.
