Iteproduction then begins, the young being born alive, and this continues for about air weeks, each female producing an aver age of about 400 insects arervery small and after their oinn crawl out from beneath the scale wnere they were born aud move about, seeking a place on which to settle. This takes rather more than a day on an average, and during this time these tiny yellow crawling voting in.iv lie seen wandering nbout.

Its legs now disappear, Its body becomes hemispherical, and white waxy threads appear over Its back. These mut to gether to form a white covering or scale, and such young, recently formed scales are often very noticeable. Lat er as the insect grows It molts or sheds Its skin, and the molted skin Is added to the scale, which because of this and by weathering becomes durker, grayish or even blackish, often showing rings of lighter and darker color.
