INDEX 
Of the Popular Names of Insects found in the 
Report of 1909 
Few insects have popular names that are definitely applicable to one 
species only. The same insect may be known under different names in 
different parts of the State, and the same name is often applied to quite 
different insects. Quite usually the food plant is associated with a gen¬ 
eral term, as wheat louse, melon louse, apple louse, etc., etc. Any ref¬ 
erences to popular terms of this character must necessarily be somewhat 
indefinite, because there are half a dozen species of plant lice on apple, 
two or three dozen species of galls on oak and so on. Throughout this 
list I have given the popular names in general use in this State, and the 
index gives also a number of the crop headings with the chief pests 
infesting them.
