Explore the tiny world beneath the New York forests and garden hedges.
This 1918 technical publication from the New York State College of Forestry offers accessible notes on insects connected to common trees and shrubs, including the American larch and wild blackberry blossoms.
This edition presents two focused studies. The first examines insects bred from the bark and wood of the American larch, while the second looks at insect visitors to blossoms and how their presence changes with the seasons. Each piece blends observation with practical detail from field work and lab study.
