WiNTKR EfUJS. — Enliii'ocd model of the winter ej^-o-s, which are 

 attached by the sexual female to the terminal twigs of the plmii, in 

 crevices around the buds. 



Stem-Mother. — The stout female plant-louse shown in this enlarged 

 model hatches from the winter egg and is characterized by shorter legs 

 and honey-tubes. It gives l)irth without the intervention of the male 

 to living young, of which three gimerations are produced on the plum 

 trees, the last being winged and migrating to the hop. 



Winged Migrant. — This enlarged model represents the first winged 

 generation, the third produced on the plum. It instinctiveh^ flies to 

 the hop plant and is the progenitor of from live to twelve wingless 

 generations of virgin females, which infest the hop plants luitil 

 autunm, and are the sole forms which depredate on the hop. In 

 autumn the last generation again produces winged females which fly 

 to the plum trees. 



Hor- Affecting Stage. — This enlarged model represents the struc- 

 ture and appearance of the live to twelve wingless generations of vir- 

 gin females which people the hop plant until autumn. These are the 

 progen}^ of the winged iiihjraniH and are the sole forms which injure 

 the hop. 



Return Migrant. — This enlarged model represents the last gen- 

 eration produced on the ho]), the winged migrant form which in Sei)- 

 tember returns again to the plum and gives birth to three or mo:(* 

 young, which are the true sexual females, the first perfect sexual 

 females produced in the cycle up to this point. 



PurA OF Return Migrant. — This model represents the pupal stage 

 of the return migi^ant. The striking features are the wing pads, which 

 with another njolt become the ample flight organs seen in the model 

 of the adult. 



True Sexual Female. — This enlarged model represents the gen- 

 eration l)orn of the return migrant, which never acquire wrings and 

 never leave the plum tree. Maturing in a few days, according to the 

 temperature, they are fertilized bj^ the true winged males which have 

 been subsequently developed on the hops, and have come from the 

 hop fields to the plum. Shortly after fertilization the winter eggs, 

 like those with which the cycle started, are deposited. 



Young Sexual Female. — This enlarged model represents the newly 

 hatched stage of the only perfectly developed sexual female produced 

 in the life cycle of this insect. 



Winged Male. — This enlarged model represents the first and only 

 male generation produced in the life cycle of the hop-plant louse. 

 This is developed in the autunm, and flies from the hop to the plum 

 and fertilizes the true sexual females.
