The species has no way to keep going unless both its hosts are present in the same area controlled by encouraging other insects was made in the early part of the last century by two English entomologists. They declared that the aphids, or plant Hce, which did great damage to hops, could be cleaned out of the green- houses and fields by increasing the number of ladybirds (see page 581). Since 1916 the Japanese beetle has been spreading destruction to more than two hundred and fifty varieties of crop, garden, and orchard plants in twenty-two states (see page 655). After years of search in Japan and Korea agents of the United States Department of Agriculture found two natural enemies of this pest that promise to help check its injurious career. One of these is a genus of antlike winged insects. The female burrows in the ground, where the beetle larva destroys the roots of plants. She stings a larva and paralyzes it, and then lays an egg in it. As the young parasite hatches out of the egg, it feeds upon the larva and destroys it. The other promising natural enemy of the beetle is a spore-bearing bacillus that produces a fatal disease in the larva. The bacteria multiply in the blood of the insect and turn it into a 595.
