Excerpt from The Grape Curculio It seems to me that this insect has not received the attention from writers upon practical entomology which it deserves It is not mentioned in Farmer's Bulletin, no. 70, of the United States Department of Agriculture, on the insect enemies of the grape, neither can I find it referred to in any of the bulletins of the State Experiment Stations, yet in 1899 it practically destroyed the entire grape crop of both wild and cultivated varieties in Upshur county.
