Pests. To the list of destructive insect and other 
pests noted in Vol. II. must be added several others 
which do much damage alike to indoor and outdoor 
Ferns. One of the most destructive of all Fern pests 
is the Black Vine Weevil (Otiorrhynchus sulcatus), 
thongh seldom recorded as such. It is an omnivorous 
insect, and therefore especially undesirable. As a 
perfect insect it will feed upon the succulent young 
fronds, absolutely ruining the plants if the pests remain 
undiscovered. They are nocturnal in their habits, and in 
the daytime remain ensconced just beneath the soil or under 
fan of any sort, or even in wall cracks. Where young 
Fern fronds are attacked in the way suggested, and the 
depredator cannot be found in the daytime, a search should 
be made at night, having first taken the precaution to well 
surround the plants attacked with stiff paper to which 
some sticky substance like tar has been applied. The 
plants should be approached carefully, and a light suddenly 
turned upon them, and lightly jarred, when the Weevils, 
being alarmed, will drop, and remain stnek fast upon the 
tar. The larve or grubs of these Beetles are equally 
undesirable, as they would feed upon the roots. 
Surface Caterpillars (Agrotide) are equally destructive, 
these again preferring the succulent young fronds. These 
insects haye already been noticed under Agrotis in the 
present yolume. Ants, too, are undesirable visitors to 
Ferneries, and should be secured by means of one of the 
traps referred to under Ants. Cockroaches feed upon 
the young fronds of Ferns in warm greenhouses, and should 
be trapped (see Cockroackes).
