 wood, Oct. 27, Nov. 22; from late March to early April among 

 needles of young long leaf pine; mid April to early May rather active 

 and often above reach on denuded trunks of blasted pines where they 

 mate and oviposit. (Manee.) Dug from white pine stumps. 

 (Blanchard.) Remains in wood as adult from late October to spring 

 and emerges in early April, seeks pine in its second death year. 

 (Manee.) Larva sometimes found in sound pine logs but more fre- 

 quently in decaying stumps. (Saunders.) Appears upon pine and 

 spruce trees in May and June; prefers dead wood of logs and stumps 

 to living trees; has been met with in two instances at the tips of the 

 limbs of young spruce trees and probably feeds upon young tender 

 buds of pine and spruce. (Fitch.) According to "Insect Life" 

 (Vol. II, p. 369), Buprcstis striata is mentioned as having been re- 

 ceived from T. C. Harris, Raleigh, N. C, together with the state- 

 ment that it had been found in a clothing store and had died after 

 cutting eight holes through a pair of heavy woolen pantaloons. The 

 editor replied that it had probably emerged from wood-work and had 

 cut the clothing in an effort to escape.
