CHAPTER VII
2/18

Many borers and timber worms infest logs and lumber after they are cut and before they are removed from the forest.

This scattered work of the insects here, there, and everywhere throughout the forests causes great damage.
Different kinds of flies and moths deposit their eggs on the leaves of the trees.

After the eggs hatch, the baby caterpillars feed on the tender, juicy leaves.

Some of the bugs destroy all the leaves and thus remove an important means which the tree has of getting food and drink.

Wire worms attack the roots of the tree.
