Natures Children
Flat.Headed Apple.Tree Borer
(Chrysobothris femorata)

we'll as in the sapwood are wide and
irregular In shape, the width con-
forming with the size of the host
tree and the thickness Of the bark.
The borer is clever In having a
roomy apartment which permits
ample room for seeking the food
close by, and as 1t travels along, It
packs its path with digested wood
particles. Lifting the bark on the
sunny side Of the tree, you can see
what a real tunneler this borer is.
The future generations are not slow
to take advantage of work accom-
plished by their industrious ances-
tors.
A mother beetle coming along will
deposit her eggs on the tree bark
not far from an opening, and the
greedy crew will find it easier to
enter the burrows than to make
them. Sometimes through their
efforts the tree will be girdled, which
as you know means its death In a
short time.
The parent OF this worker Is a
broad, fiat beetle, about u inch long
and u inch wide, tapering from
the center toward both ends. Dark
brown or black is the favored color,
and spots and irregular bands of dull
gray are the uniform worm. The
sun, beating down upon the beetle,
seems to bring out brassy tint. The
under parts of the beetle are bronze,
and the back under the wings is a
bright metallic greenish blue. When
flying. these beetles make a charm
ing little musical buzz that often
causes the listener to dodge the
flier as 1t sweeps by.
