Summary
Populations of foliage-feeding
Lepidopters were studied under an aphicide-treated and a check environment in
a young, nonbearing Red Delicious and Cortland apple orchard in Door County,
Wisconsin in 1959 and 1960. Seventeen
species in nine families were collected from the orchard in 1959 and 33
species in 19 families in 1960. The
greatest number of species were represented in the Noctuidae. The three most abundant species were Spilonota
ocellana (Denis & Schiffermuller), Argyrotaenia velutiana
(Walker), and Lithocolletis crataegella Clemens in that order. Four species occurred in two generations;
all others had a single generation.
The number of individuals and species present were influenced by tree
variety, plot environment, and year, the highest counts occurring on Red
Delicious and under the check environment.
