MAY. 

 The May Beetle, Lachnosterna fusca, and some of its 

 near relatives often attack the foliage in numbers in May. The 

 only feasible remedy is to shake infested trees early in the morning, 

 over sheets spread on the ground beneath to catch the falling beetles! 

 Kill the insects by throwing into a pail of water with kerosene float- 

 ing on the surface, or use boiling water.
