An excellent idea of the general shape and appearance of these wireworms will be had by observing figure 10, which represents a dorsal and a lateral view of one of these larvae, magnified five diameters. This particular species can be readily distinguished from the other common wireworms by observing the last segment of the body, which is smooth and conical in shape, has two dark colored pits upon its dorsal surface, as can be seen by referring to the figure just described. The wireworms have three pairs of small joined legs, one pair on each of the three first segments following the head, but the rest of the body is devoid of the fleshy prolegs, which are so commonly seen in ordinary caterpillars with which the farmer is so Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Missouri.
