The slender meadow grasshopper (Xiphidium fascia taum) is common, but breeds in the sedge zone. A flea-beetle (Monachus saponatus), the 12-spotted Diabrotica (Diabrotica 12-pundata) (156), and the salt-meadow snout-beetle (Endalus limatulus) (156) are the chief beetles. The spiders (Epeira trivittata and Tetragnatha laboriosa) are common. The flies of this girdle are perhaps the most noteworthy insects

The spiders (Epeira trivittata and Tetragnatha laboriosa) are common. The flies of this girdle are perhaps the most noteworthy insects. Several species of brownish or yellowish flies with conspicuously marked wings are nearly always common. They are Sciomyzidae (Tetanocera plumosa and umbrarum) (Fig. 283). Other characteristic flies are Osinidae (Chlorops sulphurea Leow.), midges, mosquitoes, Dolichopodidae,Drosophilidae, and Anthomyidae. The blue and yellow moth (Scepsis fulvicollis) is common. Boneset and sedge girdle: The buffalo tree- hopper (Ceresa bubalus) (Fig. 259) is found here. The dusky (Fig. 261) and tarnished plant-bugs (Fig. 262) suck the juices of the mint and other plants. The ambush-bug and the damsel-bug often lie in wait in the blossoms for 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 Shelford, Victor E.
