Sta.) Army Worm (Leucania unipimcta).—The army worm is a widely distributed species in this country, only once in twenty or thirty years multiplying in such enormous num- bers as to attract general attention. When it does become abundant grass land is stripped entirely of the green leaves and the insects travel into adjacent fields to complete their growth. They travel in immense hordes and devour all vegetation as they go. Normally they are grass feeders and are found in pastures and meadows and only when they are unusually abundant do they migrate into other crops—wheat,.
