GOOD 10 EVIL OF 'COW KILLERS' WASHINGTON, Oct. ; j. 7i The vast thouch Utile known army of nnitillid wasps, known in this country aa "velvet ants" and 'Vow killers." prohahly is of nniHi greater Importance to man than Jms heen supposed, in the opinion pf Dr. Clarence K. Mickei of the ImnersUy of .Minnesota, after completing an exhaustive stmly of their biolony and taxonomy. The potentialities for ;ood and nvil in I lu.c ri-..-i t uroo ixhi..U . capable of stinging hard bodies. He largely in the fact that they are deadly parasites on other in ects. chiefly bees and various species of wasps, during the early Btag.'s of their growth. Ur. Michel cites investigations which have shown that they para sitize nt least species of insects it ml that the dangerous tsetse fly o Africa is one of their victims. jlr fact, U has been suggested that the- decrease in thn number of ' (seise flies in certain ureas may have been caused, in part at least by their activity. They nlso are known to nttncl; solitary bees and bumblebees and. Dr. Mickei remarks,' might rea sonably be expected to be para sites of the honeybee." Several attacks on honeybees, in fact, have been reported, but they .up pear to be rare. Nevertheless, the evidence is sufficient to in dicate that the "are to he regarded as injurious or beneficial insects to man according to the points of view." Further study, r. Mickei. be lieves, Ih likely to show that more Insects are parasitized by the mil tilllds than have thus far been listed, since estimates place the number of species In various parts of the world between 3, lift ft and I. "fto. I "It cannot be doubted." he says, t "that a group of insects so nu iiueroAs in species ns the mntillids must be of more or less economic J importance. The relationship: J which these waspss have with their numerous but unknown hosM '. must J'yiully reflect themselves in the relation of insects to man. although it may be somewhat In direct." The creatures look like brightly colored anis. with u dense cover ing of hair which gives them a velvety appearance. They are more closely related, however, to digger wasps than to ants. Only tho males are equipped with wings. Willie the females have the sling ing power and have- heen known to cau.-e intense suffering to in dividuals stung. When the time comes to lay her eggs the female cms a small hole in the cocoon of the host insect. She then deposits an egg Inside, and when it hatches the young mutillid begins feeding on the oth ; it more fully developed young ; creature, devouring it entirely and , becoming full grown in a few 'days, it then spins its own cocoon : within that of the host it has des troyed. Us size upon emergence 'apparently is controlled by the size of its host, accounting for the wide variations found among mem bers of the same families. They thrive particularly In open and sandy regions, multiplying nt a rate of one generation a year in the colder altitudes, but two or perhaps more t lines as often in tropical and subtropical places.
