Formation of a yellow band inside the stalk of each ovariole was a good indicator that a female European corn borer had laid eggs. Absence of these bands was less reliable as an indicator that no eggs had been laid, probably due to the time taken for the bands to form. The number of moths accumulating in a light trap over a week at Harrow, Ontario [Canada] and the number of females estimated to have laid eggs correlated significantly with the number of larvae developing in nearby green pepper plots 3, 4, and 5 wk later during F2 flights. Linear equations for forecasting pepper damage were developed, in which the dissection data was more useful than the total moth catch alone.
