Insects and Damage

Drawing of a clerid, Thanasimus formicarius, by A.D. Hopkins. In 1892, he went to Germany to collect this predator for release in West Virginia where he had discovered a vast outbreak of the southern pine beetle. This effort was partly responsible for his being granted an honorary PhD by WV University in 1893. The clerid was never established, however (Hopkins 1899). (Furniss 2003, Fig. 5).
