Illinois

C. C. Compton (June 13): Adults of the green clover worm 
are much more numerous than usual for the Des Plaines section 
of Illinois. Thirty to fifty moths have been taken in the 
moth traps every night for the past ten days. 
C.J. Drake (Juno 27): The green clover worm is extremely 
abundant throughout the State and doing considerable damage 
to alfalfa, clover, and peas. It is causing a considerable 
amount of annoyance on peas in gardens. 
A LUCANID BEETLE ( Pseudolucanus dama Fab.) 
R. H. Pettit (June 18): I received samples this morning of 
Luc anus , probably dama, working in a clover field in Mecosta 
County. The creatures are apparently swarming in great num- 
bers in the clover field. The county agent at Big Rapids 
writes me that the farm is literally full of holes, or rather 
this particular spot on the farm is literally full of holes. 
They are worse in a spot of clover seeding, where every par- 
ticle of clover vegetation was eaten into the ground, and 
where they had worked the ground was as bare as a floor as 
far as clover was concerned. This is quoting County Agent 
E.E.Thwing. He says they come back to the field every night 
in large numbers. 
CLOVER LEAF WEEVIL ( Hyp era punctata Fab. ) 
C. E. Sanborn (May 28): The clover leaf weevil is serious 
in alfalfa at Guthrie, Stillwater, and doubtless other places,

ant in western Nevada, causing serious damage to first-crop 
alfalfa.

to very abundant in Uintah Basin and some other parts of north- 
ern Utah.
