Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Life History, Habits, and Economic Relations of the White-Grubs and May-Beetles
From this it will appear that white - grubs found in the earth beyond the middle of September will not change to the beetle that year, but, barring destruction by parasites and other fatal accidents, may be expected to pass the winter as grubs and to continue in that stage at least until the following June. This is a point of special economic interest, since the owner of infested fields needs to know whether the grubs in the ground during the latter part of the season will continue there in dangerous numbers during the follow ing spring, or whether he may expect relief from their injuries by reason of their change to the beetle.
