Abstract
The varied effects of the variable weather of current and preceding seasons on the rate of development of an insect, and hence on the time of appearance and period of continuance of each of its stages, and even on the number of generations in a year and the number of individuals in each generation, are often causes of uncertainty as to the best time to take steps for the control of an injurious species and as to the necessary intensity of control measures; and heavy losses often occur because necessary to learn for each important insect species the fact of its life weather to retard or hasten its transformations and to diminish or increase it numbers.
