There are two natural enemies of the
mosquito, the dragon fly and the spi-
der. The latter, as we know, wages
constant warfare upon all insect life.
and where mosquitoes are plentiful
they form the chief diet of their hairy
foe. The dragon fly is destroyer Of
mosquitoes in at least two stages Of
life. The larva dragon fly feeds upon
the larva mosquito. and when fully de-
yeloped the latter dimes constantly
upon the matured mosquito. The dra-
gon fly as a solution of the MOSQUITO
pest question Is not wholly satisfac-
tory. for while there is no serious diff

them in the dark woods where mos
qultoes abound, the hunting ground of

flowers and dry gardens where the sun
