Fig. 212.—The oak tree-hopper {Telamona querci) (after Lugger). sexguttata, the green tiger-beetle, here rarely; it is much commoner in later stages, however. In the decaying logs and stumps are darkling beetles (156), numerous wireworms (Elateridae), and myriopods. Sometimes fungus-feeding beetles (Diaperis hydni and Eustrophus tormentosus) are present in numbers. Ants are also often abundant. Carpenter ants are common. The aphid housing ant (Lasius umbratus subsp. mixtus var. aphidicola) is some- times abundant. In autumn certain galleries in the wood are crowded with woolly aphids which are the so-called "cows".
