Extract

In his “Insect Book,” Dr. L. O. Howard states that the egg of Ranatra has not as yet been described from the United States. It is hoped that the following note may be of itterest to someone :

On June 24, 1900, the writer was so fortunate as to find a large number of these eggs at Pine Lake, near Lansing, Mich. As the eggs were not recognized at first, they were allowed to hatch, and the nymphs allowed to become about half-grown.
