Abstract
In connection with our studies on the Oriental fruit moth, large numbers of the insect are reared in the insectary on apples. The fruit moth eggs are placed on apples in closed containers such as No. 10 tins, and when the larvae are mature the majority of them come to the top of the containers and are placed on strips of corrugated paper in lantern globes for pupation and emergence.The remaining larvae are allowed to pupate and emerge in the rearing containers.
