Book Description
Excerpt from The Colorado Potato Beetle, (Leptinotarsa Decemlineata Say) Domestic fowls are of some assistance in destroying this pest. And of these the duck early took to this insect, which is distasteful to some other fowls. For some time after the spread of the Colorado beetle to new territory chickens did not attack it, presumably because it has, in common with many other leaf-beetles, a nauseous taste. For sev s°al years, indeed, it was believed to be actually poisonous. After a time, however, chickens became better acquainted with this insect and began devouring its eggs and afterwards the larvae, finally eating the beetles with apparent relish. Skunks and snakes are reported to eat the beetles, and toads frequently gorge on them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
