  The 
  common 
  squash 
  bug; 
  occurs 
  

   throughout 
  the 
  State. 
  Hibernates 
  as 
  an 
  adult, 
  

   lays 
  eggs 
  in 
  large 
  patches 
  on 
  underside 
  of 
  

   leaves 
  of 
  all 
  sorts 
  of 
  Cucurbs, 
  and 
  matures 
  

   two 
  broods. 
  In 
  gardens 
  gather 
  the 
  con- 
  

   spicuous 
  eggs 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  and 
  destroy 
  

   them. 
  In 
  fields 
  plow 
  out 
  and 
  destroy 
  the 
  

   vines 
  as 
  soon 
  as 
  crop 
  is 
  off, 
  to 
  prevent 
  adults 
  

   from 
  coming 
  to 
  maturity. 
  Insecticides 
  are 
  

   not 
  indicated.

  Also 
  on 
  squashes 
  and 
  other 
  

   cucurbs 
  from 
  New 
  Brunswick 
  southward. 
  I 
  

   have 
  no 
  records 
  from 
  more 
  northern 
  points, 
  

   but 
  believe 
  it 
  will 
  occur 
  there 
  as 
  well. 
  Under 
  

   ordinary 
  circumstances 
  it 
  will 
  not 
  be 
  differ- 
  

   entiated 
  from 
  "tristis."

  repetita 
  Held. 
  Also 
  resembles 
  the 
  common 
  

   species 
  so 
  closely 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  readily 
  mistaken 
  

   for 
  it. 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  actual 
  Jersey 
  records, 
  but 
  it 
  

   has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  

   no 
  doubt 
  it 
  occurs 
  with 
  us.
