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.
