Fig. 148. The yellow meal worm, Tenebrio molitor : a, larva; 



b, pupa; c, adult; d, egg; about twice natural size: 



e, antenna of adult, more enlarged. 



T. molitor Linn. With the preceding. Both of these species are intro- 

 duced and live in granaries, stables, store-houses and the like. The 

 larvae are the meal-worms, which occur wherever there is a neglected 

 heap of grain refuse. Occasionally they are troublesome, but usually 

 strict cleanliness, removing their breeding places, serves to keep 

 them in check. When its use is practical, bisulphide of carbon will 

 kill both adults and larvae.

 der pine bark (W) ; Manumuskin V (Dke).
