Page 193 - The oozing secretions from this and other lice, not only of the barklouse family (Coccidae), but of the plant-louse family (Aphidae), are often referred to as honey-dew. Would it not be better to speak of these as insect secretions, and reserve the name honey-dew for sweet secretions from plants, other than those which come from the flowers ? The fact that this insect is yet undescribed — that it attacks one of our , best honey trees, and is the source of a so-called honey-dew, leads me to append...

This larva, eating on the inner side of the bark, and making furrows in the wood, causes the bleeding which, when the depletion is excessive or continuous, and especially in the case of young trees, has proved fatal. In July the worm spins a whitish, thin, papery cocoon in the mass of exuding pitch, which seems to act as a protection to both the larva and the chrysalis.
