Sinopsis

Excerpt from Fall Insects: Cornell Rural School Leaflet, November, 1931

Grasslands and gardens harbor some Of the insects we have already mentioned and we are likely to find in such places the spittle insects that remain under their protecting froth, squash bugs that ruin many Of our garden plants, thrips that hide in daisies or other flowers, and the ser pentine leaf miners that carve out. Such interesting homes 'in leaves like those Of the nasturtium. Meadow grasshoppers and their close relatives are to be found in almost any grassland in the early fall months, and humming bird moths are not uncommon on sunny days about our flower gardens.

Even the soil under the plants provides food and shelter for some Of the insects mentioned. Under logs in moist places we will find cave crickets. In other kinds Of soil will be found the immature stages of horse flies, cluster flies, and many other insects. You might read through the life histories in this and in other Leaflets to learn how many Of the common insects you know spend at least a part Of their lives under ground. Then list all the insects you can think Of and find out which of them have this habit.
