LIST OF COMMON INSECTS 
Only a few of the more important insects found throughout the 
country are named in the list of common insects. In each community 
some will be found that are not included in the list. By studying lit- 
erature on this subject, club members can familiarize themselves with 
facts regarding the insects in their own locality.
