And such a spraying as the trees got when attacked by the elm-leaf beetle may have something to do with the apparent absence of insect enemies of the two above-named species. For the spraying of the trees could have easily killed their parasites, which might have been lurking about on the trees at the time the spray- ing was done. And one thing that favors this theory is,--the leopard moth is worst in that part of the Yard which was the most carefully sprayed...
