(From Marlatt, Div. Ent., U. S. Dept. Ag.) hatching eat up the plant lice in the immediate vicinity. They are active and run about readily and have prominent jaws which are sickle-shape, tubular, and adapted for suck- ing the body fluids of the plant lice. When they have passed the larval stage they form a small spherical cocoon in which they pass the pupa stage and from which the adults emerge.
