Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Half Hours With Insects
The same season the appearance of the grain aphis in hosts which blackened the tops of waving grain ripening for the harvest, was no less marvellous, as the insect had been comparatively unknown before. The range of the grain aphis was still greater than that of the army worm. Though hundreds of plant lice pitted against one army worm might produce less visible effects, yet the continual depletion by these pygmies in drawing out the sap of the grain stalk must have told upon the quality of the grain and of the seed for several years succeeding.
