. Annual report of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. Missouri. State Board of Agriculture; Agriculture -- Missouri. Fig. 51.—Chinch Bug, Blissus leucopterus, showing different stages in its develop- ment : a, b, eggs; c, newly hatched bug; d, its tarsus; e, bug after first molt; f, sanrie after second molt; fir, same after third molt; at the left an adult which is the result of the fourth molt, much more magnified; h, enlarged leg of adult bug; t, proboscis or beak enlarged; j, tarsus of same still more enlarged. The lines at the sides of each bug represent its natural size. (From Webster and Riley, U. S. Dept. Agric.) the false chinch bug is very often mistaken for it. A short description of the different stages of the insect, however, may not be out of place, since the insects differ in their coloring to such an extent between the young and adult stages. The eggs of the chinch bug are very small and are deposited in masses, each female depositing upwards of five hundred eggs. The eggs, however, are not all deposited in one mass, but may be scattered in several masses; and are placed, as a rule, just under the surface of the ground near or upon the roots or the base of the stems of the grass.
