what instinct this pest learns that to-
matoes, potatoes and the egg plant all
belong 10 the same family OF plants,
and are each adapted to It's use, nobody
can guess. If the potato beetle Is forced
to lay eggs on weeds or grass, though
these eggs will hatch, the young larvae
perish before they can reach maturity.
