Autographa Brassicae
This insect, which preys upon the Cruciferae in its larval state, has been well described and its habits fully set forth by Prof. C. V. Riley in the Missouri Reports. It is from his paper upon the species that we have been permitted to extract the figure which is herewith annexed of the insect in its various stages. The moth appears to be very generally distributed throughout the United States and Canada, and does a good deal to diminish the supply of the raw material from which sauer-kraut is made.
