Extract

In June, 1962, a type of bug injury was found by the junior author to be prevalent in a well cared for apple orchard of 800 trees at Debec, Carleton County, N.B. Adults of the bug causing the injury were collected in early July and determined by Dr. L. A. Kelton, Entomology Research Institute, Ottawa, as Lygidea mendax Reut., commonly known as the apple redbug. This is the first record of this species in New Brunswick.
