The latter creature is never winged, and also does not occur under the bark of trees in the woods. Many species deposit their eggs in clusters on the food plant; others insert the eggs in the plant tissue. Most have but one genera- tion a year, passing the winter in the adult condition under loose bark or among fallen leaves. There are many families, the most promi- nent of which are the following: The Pentatomidse (fig. 17), which have five- jointed antenna?, and the body rather broad, with short head, and legs of moderate length. Most are brown or green in color, but some are prettily marked in bright colors. The Coreidse (fig. 19), which have rather longer bodies, four-jointed antennae, a four-jointed beak, and legs of moderate length; often some of the legs are enlarged, or have mem- branous expansions. The Lygseidse (fig. 20), veiy similar to the Coreidse, but all are much smaller, and with fewer veins in the membrane of the wing.
