  Bruner 
  reports 
  it 
  from 
  oak 
  groves 
  and 
  Smith 
  on 
  cranberry 
  bogs, 
  but 
  

   Beutenmilller 
  has 
  found 
  that 
  it 
  lives 
  on 
  pine 
  trees. 
  Blatchley 
  found 
  it 
  

   in 
  the 
  depths 
  of 
  a 
  tamarack 
  swamp, 
  and 
  says 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  an 
  active 
  insect, 
  

   "usually, 
  after 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  short 
  leaps, 
  squatting 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  earth, 
  and 
  

   seemingly 
  depending 
  upon 
  the 
  close 
  similarity 
  of 
  its 
  hues 
  to 
  the 
  gray- 
  

   ish 
  lichens 
  about 
  it 
  to 
  avoid 
  detection." 
  Others 
  have 
  since 
  found 
  it 
  on 
  

   coniferous 
  trees, 
  and 
  these 
  are, 
  apparently, 
  its 
  proper 
  station,
