Bugs: Many of our most destructive pests are found among the true bugs. Metamorphosis of true bugs is incomplete. The young looks like the adult but is without wings; the wings develop with each molt as the nymph grows. Chinch bugs are controlled by plowing a furrow around the margin of the grain field and applying creosote to the furrow each day for about 2 weeks. Burning their hibernating quarters is of value in some areas where the insects overwinter in bunch grasses and debris. Chinch bugs belong to the order Hemiptera, family Lygaeidae. The technical name of the species is Bltesus leucopterus.
