The aphid housing ant (Lasius umhratus subsp. mixtus var. aphidicola) is some- times abundant. In autumn certain galleries in the wood are crowded with woolly aphids which are the so-called "cows" which the ants house for the winter. b) Field and shrub strata.— In moist weather the snails {Polygyra) mentioned above are common on Jthe herbaceous vegetation, while the tree-frogs {Hyla versicolor and pickeringii) (139) are common, and spiders are numerous. c) Tree stratum.—-The oaks (137) are affected by many of the same species as in the earlier stages. The tree-frog is sometimes found in the.
