196 INSECTS AFFECTING THE ORANGE. 



The species breeds continuously in summer and some eggs are hatched 

 even in winter. The adult insects hibernate in protected places, but 

 are more delicate than their northern relative and probably do not 

 extend beyond the region in which the Orange is grown. 



The operations of this Psocus are apparently of trifling importance ; 

 it is, however, one of the commonest of orange insects and as such at- 

 tracts considerable attention.
