  This 
  is 
  the 
  well 
  known 
  "Chinch 
  bug" 
  that 
  is 
  so 
  

   destructive 
  in 
  the

  the 
  middle

  In 
  New 
  

   Jersey, 
  while 
  it 
  occurs 
  throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  it 
  is 
  really 
  a 
  somewhat 
  

   rare 
  species, 
  not 
  often 
  found 
  even 
  by 
  the 
  collector. 
  The 
  reason 
  fov 
  

   our 
  exemption 
  is 
  climatic 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  due 
  to 
  anj^ 
  natural 
  enemy 
  or 
  

   parasite 
  peculiar 
  to 
  this

  The

  are 
  found 
  crawling 
  about 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  

   weeds

  sandy 
  spots, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  under 
  boards 
  in 
  winter. 
  They 
  

   have 
  not 
  been 
  closely 
  collected, 
  and 
  more 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  when 
  search 
  

   for 
  them 
  is 
  systematically 
  made.
