crawling up again by a steep mound of loose earth built around 

 the foot of the tree. The tanglefoot will come in well here, too. 

 These worms are intermittent in their infestations, indicating that 

 some parasite cleans them up when it finds them. 



False Chinch-bugs 



(Nysius augustatus) 



Squash-bugs 



(Anarsa tristis) 



Harlequin Cabbage-bugs 



(Murgantia histrionic a) 



These are three insects which work in a very similar manner 

 and all have the peculiarity, unlike others of their class, of emit- 

 ting a disagreeable odor when crushed. They all have a sharp 

 proboscis by which they suck the juices from the plants. This 

 beak can be seen on turning the bug onto its back. They do not 

 have a larval or grub form, the young being of similar form to 

 the adult/ but without wings, and of course, smaller. They attack 

 all varieties of fruits and vegetables. 



The False Chinch-bugs often seriously injure young orange trees, 

 and the others are a bad strawberry pest. The young can be killed 

 with kerosene emulsion. Keep all weeds and rubbish cleaned up 

 on your land as the adults sleep in this material over winter.
