Abstract
Peach cat-facing is a scarred and distorted condition of the fruit, which causes serious losses in some seasons in the peach-growing sections of the Middle West and elsewhere. The investigations reported in this paper have proved that at least six species of insects have a part in the production of cat-facing. These insects are the Tarnished Plant Bug, the Plum Curculio, and four species of stink bugs.
