635 Insects, Few trees are more liable to attacks of insects than mem- bers of the citrus tribe, but an inherent vigor makes them generally proof against lasting injury from this source. In a congenial soil, with favorable climatic conditions, the skil- ful cultivator feels little concern, knowing that where the parasitic enemies of any insect exist an undue increase of the latter is attended by a corresponding multiplication of the former, and thus is the balance of nature preserved. The use o...f insecticides is but a partial remedy, and without the aid of friendly parasites would, in many cases, prove ina'dequate. It is wise to apply the ounce of preventive and maintain a strict quarantine against the introduction of these insidious foes, and the wisdom of this is now being recognized by stringent laws imposing penalties against the admission of infected or infested plants. One of the most widely distributed insects affecting the citrus in Florida is the Rust-Mite {Pkytops). Almost too mi- nute to be seen with the naked eye, it swarms in incredible numbers over the trees, and, attaching its beak to the fruit, sucks the juices of the peel, leaving it blackened and dry.
