Excerpt from The Chinch Bug: Its Probable Origin and Diffusion, Its Habits and Development, Natural Checks and Remedial and Preventive Measures, With Mention of the Habits of an Allied European Species
Chinch Bug Observations in Iowa in 1894, Insect Life, Vol. VII, pp. 230 - 231.
Some very similar instances of the tenacity of life among chinch bugs have been related to me by farmers in Ohio, so that I have no reason for doubting these statements. It is more than likely that the insect seeks to protect itself from its enemies during a period when it will be helpless, and also from sudden and radical changes in temperature.
