(Bulletin #2501)

       This laminated publication (pictured below)--by UMCE Cranberry Professional Charles Armstrong--describes the insect larvae that you are likely to find after taking sweeps on a cranberry bed in Maine (wild or commercial bogs).  No matter what larva you may be trying to identify in your net, chances are good that you will be able to identify it using the step-by-step procedure given in this key.  Includes 7 color images of actual specimens which Charlie placed on a scanner.  The quality of the images is very good.  To see an example of one of the images (a gypsy moth larva), click HERE or visit http://www.umaine.edu/umext/cranberries/gypsy.gif. 

To order, send $5.00 (per copy--US funds) ($5.25 if you reside in Maine; sales tax) to:
