Saperda calcarata Say 



Poplar borer 



This is the largest of our native species and is equaled in size 

 only by the European S. c a r c h a r i a s. This species is of con- 

 siderable economic importance on account of its serious injury 

 to the trunks and larger branches of poplars. These trees rarely 

 attain any size in New Y^ork State before showing the operations 

 of this insect, and in not a few instances very serious injury is 

 inflicted. This applies not only to neglected trees along road 

 sides and in forests but also to magnifiicent specimens grown 

 for ornamental purposes in parks. In Washington park, Albany, 

 this species has recently caused a great deal of damage, breeding 

 in large numbers in a group of magnificent white poplars. We 

 have also observed similar injury in New York citv and Brooklyn.
