Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive survey of insect conditions during the week ending June 6, primarily focusing on the United States. The author draws on information provided by state, federal, and industrial entomologists to create a detailed snapshot of insect activity across the country. Particular attention is given to the threat posed by various species to crops, livestock, and even humans. The book discusses the continuing threat posed by grasshoppers in the southeastern Colorado region, where they are causing significant damage to rangelands and threatening crops. It also highlights the alarming increase in the European corn borer, with heavy flights reported in Iowa and the potential for egg laying to extend into July in many areas of Illinois. Of particular note is the emergence of the southern pine beetle as a major concern in areas of Hardin County, Texas. The author emphasizes the devastating impact this beetle can have on pine forests and the urgent need for control measures. Further sections of the book provide valuable insights into the abundance and distribution of other insect species, including the Mexican bean beetle, boll weevils, and aphids. The author also includes reports on the status of various insect pests affecting fruit, truck crops, cotton, and forests, offering a comprehensive overview of insect activity during the period covered.
