Excerpt from Effectiveness of Imported Insect Enemies of the Satin Moth, Vol. 459
The history of Apanteles solitarius In Washington 1s most amazing. It seems incredible that from a single colony consisting Of 80 males and 187 females liberated at Kent June 6, 1932, the species could m so short a time increase in such proportions and disperse over so large a territory. According to a survey made by Randall Latta In May 1934, A. Solitarius could be found In variable abundance all over the principally infested areas in Washington. To this may be added the writer's Observation that Apanteles cocoons, formed In 1934 or earlier, have been found In every satin moth infestation visited by him. The dispersal of A. Solitarius Within 2 years of its liberation to apparently isolated infestations 100 or more miles distant is most noteworthy.
