The Tree Crickets are generally greenish or whitish insects, living on the leaves and branches of trees, shrubs, and herbs.

But they often do considerable damage to rasp- berry canes by depositing their eggs in long rows in the pith. Such canes are likely to split open and winter-kill. The Mole Crickets are among the most remarkable examples of insect life. They are perfectly adapted to an underground, burrowing life. The front legs are de- veloped into digging organs by means of which the insect can make a tunnel in the soil, through which the cylindri- cal body easily passes. They are brown in color, and their food consists of under- MoLE Cricket ground roots of various sorts. Cockroaches and Walking Sticks The Cockroaches (Blattidae) are characterized by their flattened forms, their legs fitted for running, their flat over- lapping front wings, and their long, bristlelike, many-jointed antennae. Many forms of Cockroaches are wingless, though the typical full-grown form has well-developed wings. These insects feed upon almost anything, being commonly found about kitchens and sheds, especially where there are water pipes. Some species are also found in the woods, undfer the bark of trees, where they feed upon a variety of materials. Probably the original home of all the species.
