﻿THE 
  INSECTS 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY. 
  291 
  

  

  The 
  larvae 
  are 
  wood-borers, 
  living 
  under 
  bark 
  and 
  making 
  broad, 
  

   rather 
  shallow 
  furrows, 
  galleries 
  or 
  chambers, 
  going 
  into 
  the 
  solid 
  wood 
  

   only 
  to 
  pupate, 
  except 
  in 
  those 
  cases 
  where 
  the 
  species 
  live 
  in 
  dead, 
  

   dying 
  or 
  decaying 
  wood. 
  In 
  shape 
  they 
  are 
  very 
  much 
  elongated, 
  some- 
  

   what 
  flattened, 
  the 
  body 
  segments 
  well 
  defined, 
  head 
  small, 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   segments 
  much 
  enlarged, 
  so 
  as, 
  apparently, 
  to 
  form 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  

   giving 
  rise 
  to 
  the 
  common 
  names 
  "hammer 
  head" 
  or 
  "flat-head" 
  borers. 
  

   A 
  number 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  of 
  economic 
  importance 
  because 
  they 
  infest 
  

   orchard 
  trees. 
  The 
  larger 
  species 
  usually 
  favor 
  plants 
  that 
  are 
  low 
  in 
  

   vitality 
  from 
  injury 
  or 
  other 
  causes; 
  hence 
  such 
  trees 
  may 
  be 
  protected 
  

   by 
  keeping 
  them 
  in 
  healthy 
  growing 
  condition. 
  Others, 
  like 
  those 
  be- 
  

   longing 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  "Agrilus," 
  attack 
  plants 
  and 
  trees 
  in 
  full 
  vigor. 
  

   As 
  against 
  these 
  our 
  methods 
  of 
  defense 
  must 
  be 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  history 
  

   of 
  the 
  insects.
