 professional paper are given the results of experiments which show that the 

 migrator}^ habit of the larva is a response to various internal and external 

 stimuli, moisture being, perhaps, the most important of the latter. Since the 

 larvae migrate to the drier portions of the manure heaps to pupate, this 

 habit offers an important point of attacks in attempt to control this pest. —
