T he Natural History Society was last Wednesday evening addressed by Prof. Pettit on " T he Seventeen Year Locust," and" T he Angou- mois Grain M o t h ." T he seventeen- year locust passes seventeen years in an immature stage and when mature lasts for only a few weeks in J u n e. T he female deposits eggs in branches of trees and dies, after a few days the larva hatch, fall to the ground and at once burrow out of sight. H e re the long, underground exis tence, lasting seventeen years, be gins, the larva feeding on the roots of trees, usually at a depth of about two feet. After seventeen years the pupa comes to the surface on some warm evening in early J u n e, and climbs on some support, as a tree or build ing, and changes to the adult condi tion. T h is change takes place by the pupa skin splitting down the back and the winged insect emerg ing. T he breeding ground is wood land and usually oaks are preferred; the clearing of large areas in the past twenty years has led to constant these decrease the number of in In the South a race of this insects. species exist which its changes in thirteen years. performs In the entire United States there are twenty-two distinct broods which in 1898, another mature at well known periods and cover well defined areas, Michigan is visited by four of these broods, one of which made its last appear ance in 1902, another in 1902, another will appear in 1905, and the other in 1911. T he adult insect very rarely feeds, what ever damage is done, being done during the laying of the eggs but this usually amounts to no more than a slight pruning but if this occurs in a young orchard it may prove harm ful. Many more facts were brought out but space will not permit of mentioning them. interesting T he Angoumois grain moth ( sit- oroga cerealla), an insect which takes its name from a province in France, and which in the south is considered by far the worst enemy of stored grain, has just arrived in Michigan. Nearly two hundred years ago it was introduced into North Carolina and since that time its history has It works been that of devastation. on the inside of the kernels of all the grains leaving the shell intact; often it is not noticed till the grain is weighed when its lack of weight It is about causes an examination. the clothes moth, the the size of wings measuring one-half inch or less from tip to tip. T he remedy consists in storing the grain in large masses and fumigating with carbon bi-sulphide. Of the forty w ho were present there were only three ladies. We were pleased to see these three and hope the ladies of the College will take an interest in this work and come out to our meetings. T he subjects discussed are usually sub jects which have just as much inter est for the ladies as for the men. Our next meeting will be Wednes day evening, Nov. 26. E. A. S E E L Y E, Secy.
