Looking for larvae in soil in cottonfield infested with white-fringed beetles. 



• If you do not find adults on 

 leaves, inspect the base of the plants 

 and look under leaves and in the grass 

 nearby. 



Reporting 



If you find adult beetles or larvae 

 that resemble the one in the color 

 drawing, place several in a small bottle 

 of rubbing alcohol and send the bottle 

 to your local agricultural agent, the 

 nearest plant protection inspector, your 

 State department of agriculture, or 

 your State entomologist. 



When sending specimens, include 

 your name and address and tell where 

 and when the insects were found. Do 

 not send live insects through the mail. 



PRECAUTIONS 



Pesticides used improperly can be 

 injurious to man, animals, and 

 plants. Follow the directions and heed 

 all precautions on the labels. 



Store pesticides in original con- 

 tainers under lock and key — out of the 

 reach of children and animals — and 

 away from food and feed. 



Apply pesticides so that they do not 

 endanger humans, livestock, crops, 

 beneficial insects, fish, and wildlife. 

 Do not apply pesticides when there is 

 danger of drift, when honey bees or 

 other pollinating insects are visiting 

 plants, or in ways that may contami- 

 nate water or leave illegal residues. 



Do not feed potatoes, turnips, peanut 

 forage, hulls, or silage made from 

 plants from fields treated with chlor- 

 dane to dairy animals or to animals 

 being finished for slaughter. Do not 

 allow grazing on fields treated with 

 chlordane. 



Avoid prolonged inhalation of pesti- 

 cide sprays or dusts; wear protective 

 clothing and equipment if specified on 

 the container.
