Excerpt from First Annual Report, Beneficial and Other Insects, of the State of Missouri: Made to the State Board of Agriculture, Pursuant to an Appropriation for This Purpose From the Legislature of the State
It is neither so full nor so valuable as I hope to make its success ors, should the office be continued. This is principally owing to the fact, that but eight months have elapsed since my appointment, and that the natural history of a number of the insects that received my atten tion during the summer, can only be given after they have completed their transformations, which will require one, two and in some cases, even three years.

Paperback. Condition: 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.
