KS Report 13, Vol.
Blister beetles are very poisonous to horses fed hay containing their dead bodies.
Second brood moths were starting to emerge at two Christmas tree farms near Wichita by June 18-19. None had been caught in a landscape site further north at Newton by June 20. Second generation moths appear to be later than usual according to sampling at two sites in the Newton area on June 27. Information from a tree farm in Wichita indicates that moth flights might have peaked about June 26 but that is not certain yet. Immatures averaged about 1 per square yard in 18 inch alfalfa at a site in southern Dickinson County on June 27.
