. Insects injurious to fruits. Illustrated with four hundred and forty wood-cuts. Insect pests. ATTACKING THE BRANCHES. 203 Fig. 209. ATTACKING THE BEANOHES. __ No. 106.—The Dog-day Cicada. Cicada tihicen Linn. In appearance this insect very much resembles the seven- teen-year locust, No. 15, but differs from it by occurring in more or less abundance every year during the months of August and September, when it sometimes wounds the small limbs of the cherry and deposits its eggs therein. The body is black on the upper side, the head and thorax being spotted and marked with olive-green. The wings are large, trans- parent, and strongly veined, the principal veins having a greenish tint. The under side of the body is coated with a whitish powder, legs greenish. This cicada, which is shown in Fig. 209, is very generally distributed throughout the Northern United States and the province of Ontario, and the shrill notes of the males may be heard almost everywhere during warm days in August, from ten o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon. The males only are musical, and their drums are situated in cavities in the sides of the anterior segments of their robust bodies. The larva is unknown, but doubtless closely resembles that of the seventeen-year locust; the pupa also is very similar, and has been found beneath cherry, maple, and elm trees. The ravages of this insect have never been sufficiently important to attract much attention. No. 107.—The Cherry-tree Bark-louse. Lecanium cerasifex Fitch. This is a bark-louse very much resembling that of the pear-tree, Lecanium pyri, No. 69. It may be found in.
