Insects may pass the winter as eggs, which is a very common method ; as larvae or young, which is rather unusual ; as pupae, which is a very common method in those orders where the pupa state is one of complete quiescence ; and lastly, they may pass the winter as perfect insects. [Fig. 36.]. Immature stages of Chinch-bug : a, i, eggs; c, newly- larva ; d, its tarsus ; e, larva after first molt; /, same after second molt; jf, pupa—the natural sizes indicated at sides; A, enlarged leg of perfect bug; j\ tarsus of same still more enlarged ; /, proboscis or beak, enlarged (after Riley). The last method is the one adopted by the Chinch-bug. When cold weather comes on those of the fall brood leave the now dry and hardened corn stalks and seek secure places in which to remain during the winter. Occasionally they take flight at the time, but usually they seek the most secure places which can be found in and immediately around the field. Any rubbish left in the field, if of a nature to meet their wants, is eagerly sought; corn shocks, straw piles, stumps, logs, and fence rows are used as hiding places ; they even hide beneath the clods when no better places can be found. But many move.
