Garnet Beetles.

The carpet beetle is one of the worst,
most-destrnctive and difficult to over
come of all household insects. 1t was
introduced into the United States from
Europe, and is sometimes miscalled the
Buffalo moth" probably from the fact,
one author claims, it was first noticed
as destructive in this country at Buffalo,
n. Y. It has not yet, that we are aware
of, made its appearance in Iowa, but IS
likely at any time to become an uuwel-
come and troublesome visitant.
1t is claimed land we are thankful to
say we have not yet come into practical
personal contact with this beetle, and
that our knowledge of it is gained from
others) "that it has been known to cut
a carpet into strips from end to end as
clean and straight as if it had been cut
by sharp knife or scissors" 1t also
destroys furs, wooden clothes, leather,
dried plants and preserved animals. Is
does all the damage in the larva or
worm state. The larva is described as
being nearly one-quarter of an inch
long, with six legs, and running nimbly.
If turned upon its back it will spring
upward to regain its feet just like the
big black swapping beetle with VII CHI
so many Of the boys are acquainted. 1t
is of a brownish color, appearing as II
branded in two shades, the darkest be-
ing the central portion of each ring"
The beetle is about one-twelfth Of an
inch long. black marked with red and
white and has been found to live upon
the pollen of the spiraea blossoms. The
female beetles enter the house, deposit
their eggs along the edges of the car
pets or other wooden goods, although
possessing a partality for carpets. The
larvae or worms hatch, and mature,
forming the pupse within their larval
skins, from which the beetles emerge
and leave the house, the females only
re-entering.
In some parts of the country it has
become so troublesome that carpets
have had to be dispensed with and
mattings used in their place. Most Of
the common remedies are Intellectual,
but it is said tina cotton, aturated with
benzine or kerosene, stuffed into the
jennings of the floor and crevices be-
meath the base boards during the win
Ter months, will destroy them. Benzi2e
is the more preferab e to use, because it
will not soil the carpe s; but it Is so
extremely infammable that its use IS
dangerous. Boiling hot W ter is e.
fectual It seems to us II the larvae
were working in carpet, they could
be steamed to death by wetting cloth,
laying it on the carpet and then ironing
with a hot iron, in the sam name as
plaitings are pressed.-Atjce 3. Walton,
IN IoWa State Register.
