FOOD "CHOMPION"
Beetles never turn over a
new leaf. They eat it. Then
your trees. Shrubs. Vegetables.
Fruits. Flowers. And still
they’re hungry. That’s because
these beetles are grubs, the
larvae of the beetles, and
while
like all
more.
fA
-M,
& <&. A D
They feed on every kind
of plp-t, from root to fruit
and iced. They eat stored
food, woods, fabrics, furs,
books, and countless other
things, including even mu
seum specimens and beetle
collections.
Most grubs are softbodied,
and some, such as the wire
worms, are wormhke. They
have hard heads and strong
jaws and are usually very
active. They are more fierce
and greedy than the adults.
They resemble caterpillars, but
they don’t have the stubby
proiegs that support the ab
domen of caterpillars Most
of them are hairless
Since insects are the most
numerous of all the earth s
creatures, the beetles are the
numerical world champions
And if they all seem to be in
your garden or lawn or home
at the same time, then use an
insecticide containing a chem
ical called diazinon that not
only kills white giubs of Jap
anese beetles, European and
Southern chafer, but mei 120
