Lewiston, Me-, May IA dispatch
from the town of Hartford says that that
town has been visited by destruc-
tive insect which has destroyed the green
foliage over large portion of the town.
The bugs are about as large as the COM
mon striped squash bugs, and in color
dark bottle green. No one who has seen
them has been able to identity them or
even remembers seeing anything like
them before.
The bugs descended upon the town in
millions. The first choice Of the bugs
for food seemed to be the leaves of the
black alder, but they appear willing to
eat anything and everything that is
green. They descended on the bushes
and small trees in sufficient numbers to
bend the more slender ones to the ground
and in an hours time had stripped them
clean of the young foliage.
After they had satisfied their hunger,
they gathered on the naked branches
like swarms of bees, two or three quarts
in place. The bugs have three meth
DDS OF moving about. While feeding
they crawl slowly from leaf to leaf
When disturbed, they jump like fleas
with rapidity that can hardly be fol-
lowed with the eye for distance of
about two feet, When they change from
one feeding place,to another they fly at
"A height which renders them invisible.
