INJURIOUS INSECTS OF KANSAS. 



CLMARUTT 



Fig. 45. Transformations of the Apple-twig ;^okeu; the ttf<iires, excepting /i, 

 which is natural size, are enlarged, the hair-lines at the side, in a, h, rf, and (/, show- 

 ing the actual size; a, the female beetle from above; h, outline side view of male 

 beetle; c, antenna, showing structure; f?, full-grown larva; e, head and antenna, and 

 /, the right legs of the larva; (/. front view of pupa, in outline; li, twig, showing, above, 

 the larval burrow packed with castings, and below^, the pupa in its cell. 



Thejlarviie transform to puptie in the burrows, and the insect ma- 

 tures in the fall or winter. The beetles burrow into fruit and 

 forest trees for ])rotection and food, and may be found in them 

 head downward. 



The injuries done by the pest are to grape canes, into which it 

 bores as larvae and to orchard trees, into which it bores as adult 

 beetles. 



Remedies. — Tiie dying twigs in winter, caused by the beetles' 

 burrows, should be collected and burned, thus destroying many 

 adults. 



All prunings, disea.sed and dead vines, should be carefully col- 

 lected in the vineyard and destroyed, thus taking away sought-for 

 breeding-places, and also, if done in the summer, destroying mart 7 

 larvix?.
