Excerpt from The Grape Leaf-Folder The history of the grape leaf-folder from an economic standpoint began in 1855 with Glover's (6, p. 78) description of the injury inflicted upon grapevines under glass. The remedy suggested, which has been recommended most often since, was hand-picking and trampling under foot of the folded leaves, thus killing the larvae. Glover had specimens and records of injury from the District of Columbia, Columbia, S. C., and Atlanta, Ga. In 1868 Riley (9) gave a short description of the insect and its work and stated that it was of common occurrence in Illinois. Saunders in his Insects Injurious to the Grape, mentions having met with a few specimens of the grape leaf - folder in Ontario, Canada.
