  attached 
  to 
  a 
  stem 
  about 
  G 
  or 
  7 
  mm. 
  long, 
  which 
  the 
  female 
  produces 
  

   prior 
  to 
  laying. 
  The 
  larva 
  is 
  very 
  agile 
  and 
  even 
  more 
  voracious 
  than 
  

   the 
  adult. 
  Chrysopa 
  are 
  mostly 
  known 
  as 
  enemies 
  of 
  aphids, 
  but 
  

   according 
  to 
  Schneider 
  they 
  also 
  prey 
  on 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Muscidae 
  and 
  

   Coleoptera. 
  In 
  the 
  vineyards, 
  Chnjsopa 
  also 
  attacks 
  Phylloxera 
  

   in 
  its 
  stages 
  above 
  ground, 
  and 
  here 
  again 
  the 
  larva 
  is 
  the 
  chief 
  

   destroyer. 
  Fuschini 
  has 
  calculated 
  that 
  one 
  larva 
  can 
  devour 
  about 
  

   6,000 
  eggs, 
  besides 
  causing 
  the 
  indirect 
  destruction 
  of 
  those 
  contained 
  

   in 
  the 
  ovaries 
  of 
  the 
  female. 
  The 
  larvae 
  of 
  Nephopteryx 
  divisella, 
  Dp., 
  

   and 
  Hylotoma 
  rosae, 
  F., 
  also 
  fall 
  a 
  prey 
  to 
  Chrysopa. 
  C. 
  vulgaris 
  has 
  

   been 
  described 
  as 
  an 
  enemy 
  of 
  the 
  Vine 
  Tortrix 
  (" 
  Pyrale 
  " 
  de 
  la 
  vigne) 
  

   {Oenophthira 
  pilleriana, 
  SchifE.) 
  In 
  1911, 
  the 
  author 
  reported 
  an 
  

   abundance 
  of 
  Chrysopa 
  in 
  the 
  south-eastern 
  vineyards, 
  which 
  had 
  

   been 
  invaded 
  by 
  the 
  Microlepidoptera 
  of 
  the 
  vine, 
  and 
  showed 
  clearly 
  

   that 
  Clysia 
  ambignella, 
  Hb., 
  and 
  Polychrosis 
  botrana, 
  Schiff., 
  were 
  

   destroyed 
  by 
  Chrysopa 
  larvae, 
  and 
  even 
  by 
  the 
  adults. 
  Experiments 
  

   conducted 
  in 
  1913 
  showed 
  that 
  a 
  single 
  larva 
  could 
  eat 
  about 
  60 
  

   P 
  lychrosis 
  caterpillars, 
  at 
  the 
  rate 
  of 
  3 
  or 
  4 
  a 
  day. 
  The 
  agriculturist 
  

   should 
  therefore 
  learn 
  to 
  know" 
  and 
  protect 
  so 
  helpful 
  an 
  auxiliary. 
  

   The 
  author 
  very 
  strongly 
  recommends 
  that 
  all 
  traps 
  baited 
  for 
  the 
  

   moths 
  of 
  Polychrosis 
  be 
  emptied 
  and 
  cleaned 
  immediately 
  they 
  cease 
  

   to 
  be 
  useful, 
  as 
  Chrysopa 
  are 
  also 
  taken 
  in 
  them. 
  Indeed 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   found 
  that 
  they 
  capture 
  Chrysopa 
  more 
  often 
  and 
  in 
  larger 
  numbers 
  

   than 
  Polychrosis, 
  thus 
  doing 
  a 
  great 
  deal 
  of 
  harm. 
  Birds, 
  especially 
  

   night-birds, 
  and 
  bats 
  are 
  great 
  enemies 
  of 
  the 
  perfect 
  insect, 
  and 
  

   Syrphid 
  larvae 
  have 
  been 
  seen 
  to 
  destroy 
  Chrysopa 
  larvae. 
  Hemiteles- 
  

   aestivalis, 
  Gr., 
  Helorus 
  anomalipes 
  Pz., 
  and 
  Microgaster
