Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies some of the most destructive insects facing apple orchards and farmers in the United States. The author, Missouri's first State Entomologist, provides valuable observations on the habits and transformations of several species of bark lice that negatively impact apple trees. Through the investigation of the Oyster-shell Bark-louse and the White Bark-louse, the author uncovers the unique characteristics of each species, including their differences in growth and egg-laying habits. The author further discusses the periodical cicada, including both the 17 and 13-year broods. Delving into their life cycles, the book reveals that despite sharing the same territory, the two types of cicadas maintain distinct characteristics, such as significant variation in size, different coloration, and distinct stridulation. The book offers deep entomological insights and practical advice on combating these pests, making it an essential read for entomologists, horticulturalists, and farmers alike.
