Excerpt from The Grapecane Gall-Maker and the Grapecane Girdler Both insects vary greatly as to their abundance in difierent seasons. For a year or two the characteristic marks of one or both species will be very conspicuous on the vines, and then 'for a period of a few years following they may be almost entirely absent.
