HARLEQUIN BUG ( Murgantia histrionica Hahn) 
W. A. Thomas (July 16): The harlequin cabbage bug is 
unusually abundant this season. Already collards are wilting 
badly in many gardens in this section as a result of the 
attack of thousands of these insects. One grower brought a 
pint of these insects to the laboratory, all collected from 
a small garden plot one afternoon. It was observed today 
that these insects were congregating on cowpeas in clusters 
about the fruit stems, apparently feeding on exuding juices. 
Some specimens seemed to be feeding on ; the young immature 
pods causing wilting. These peas were near a heavily infested 
collard plot.

abundant over most of the State.

by J. w"ilcox are how coming out. It appears that in most

factor this year owing to activity of the parasites.
