Extract

While making peach twig collections for parasite recoveries during the first part of June, a few Chrysopid adults were observed throughout the orchards. No particular attention was paid to this insect until late in July, when adults could be found on almost every tree throughout the orchards of the Niagara district. Several specimens were sent to Ottawa for determination and it was found that two species were represented, viz., Chrysopa oculata Say. and Chrysopa albicornis Fitch., the former being by far the more numerous. Eggs began to appear the latter part of July and could be located in numbers varying from one to four on almost every tree.
