Excerpt from Report of Observations of Injurious Insects During the Year 1882: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy, and Special Report on Wireworm

The season of 1882 was, on the whole, remarkably free from wide-spread attacks of insects occurring to any greatly injurious extent, with the exception of those of Aphides, which were the cause of serious loss, amounting to little less than devastation of the Hop crops.

Reports from many localities, including England, Scotland, and the South-west of Ireland, mention that very little harm was caused by attack, as, in consequence of the weather being generally suitable for plant-growth, the crops held their way under moderate injury; and also the amount of rainfall, or of showers, was unfavourable to the increase of some kinds of insects, and checked the activity by which, in sunshine and drought, many of them spread themselves far and wide. For this reason, although Turnip Fly, the great cause of loss in 1881, made its appearance, the increase did not again become a general disaster.

The chief attacks were those of Apple Weevil on the Apple blossom in the spring, and some bad cases of local injury from Daddy-longlegs grubs; later on the caterpillar of the Winter Moth did much harm to leafage; and the circumstance occurred (very rarely observed in this country) of attack by Cockchafer grubs taking place, to a seriously hurtful extent, on the roots of young Pines in plantations extending over a large extent of country.
