Insect Forager That
Is Blessing to Man

A caterpillar, known as the Painted
Lady," is one of the most remarkable
of insect foragers. These strange lit
tie creatures move in vast armies, but
never attack field crops or cultivated
flowers, but, seemingly with deliberate
intent, clear the territory over which
they move of many harmful weeds and
grasses. The insects crossed the Mex.
lean border some months ago and in
vaded southern California in great
hordes. Millions of them would move
past flower garden or field of bios
soming clover, stopping on the way
only to attack nettles and weeds and
leaving the blossoms intact. The army
Travelled across the famous Death val
ley in California at the rate of about
fifteen miles an hour. The desert,
which stops many insect migrations,
to hold no terrors for these,
since they were able to find isolated
patches Of their favorite food sufficient
to sustain life. The painted ladies"
which derive their name from the ex-
beautiful coloring of their
wings, have been long known below
the border.
