1. Beetles IN Winter QUARTERS. 



With the ai)proach of cold weather the beetles congregate in sheltered locations. Protection afforded by 

 accumulations of oak leaves and pine needles enables them to withstand the winters more successfully 

 than other types of materials. Photograph by Howard. 



2. BEANS Injured by Larva of Bean Settle. 



The whitish appearance of the bean foliage is due to the feeding of the bean beetle on the under surface 

 of the leaves. Damage of this nature naturally results in loss of crop. Photograph by Howard.
