This insect, which was hitherto classified as a minor pest on paddy plants suddenly assumed serious proportions during October, 1948. The phenominal incidence of this hitherto little-known insect was an eye- opener regarding the potentialities of our insect foes and showed that the entomologist has not only to contend with numerous major forms of insects peculiar to cultivated crops, but has also to hold himself in readiness to fight any obscure insect which may suddenly turn a pest.
