day. Hence an old-time saying, that
flies can devour the carcass OF an OK
quicker than a lion could eat it.
One OF the greediest caterpillars is
offspring Of the gypsy moth. It
has been estimated by al eminent
entomologist that one pair OF gypsy
moths, If all OF their progeny sur
vived to reach the winger stage,
would produce In eight years a suf-
icient number OF caterpillars to de-
stroy all the foliage in the United
States.
These caterpillars will eat anything
that is green, from leaves Of trees to
garden vegetables. What menace
they are can be realized from the
fact that the destruction of all foliage
would bring death to all animals and
people, inasmuch as all animal life
depends for Its support, directly or
indirectly, upon plants.
It'd lis their astonishing power of
multiplication that makes destructive
insects formidable. A single pair Of
potato bugs, il all their offspring sur
vived, would in one season produce
SO, 10000 OF their kind.
The aphiS or louise produces thir-
teen generations in a year. 1t has
been estimated that, beginning with
a single pair, the progeny OF these,
IL all survived, would in the twelfth
generation, compose so vast ar army
