observations made it was impossible to predict or determine

LITTLE HICKORY APHID ( Monellia car y el la Fitch) 
John B. Gill (August 2) : The Little hickory aphid has been 
occurring abundantly on pecan trees during this season. This 
species appears to confine its attacks to the underside of 
the leaves, and so far it has no't been observed feeding 
on the young nuts. The foliage of heavily infested pecan 
trees often becomes drenched with the honeydew exudations. 
At present this insect is not considered as a serious pest 
to pecans.
