Minnesota. S. Lockwood (May 24). "In Kittson County, in the extreme north- 
western corner of the State, grasshopper eggs were in large numbers, 
as many as 40 and 50 egg masses to the square foot in some localities. 
Egg parasites were noticed fairly abundant, but not in large enough 
numbers to help much this year. Grasshoppers were first noticed 
hatching the 11th of May." 
Clear -winged locust (Ca m n u ja pellucida Scudd. ) 
Montana. R. B. McKee (May 19). "Eggs are reported to be hatching in Flathead

Cutworms . 
Nevada. C. W. Creel (May 1Q), "These insects are doing more or less damage
