Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hessian Fly: Mayetiola (Cecidomyia) Destructor Say The fly itself is not easily observed until one becomes familiar with its appearance, and this will account for the great variety of insects that are continually mistaken by farmers for the Hessian fly. Much of this difficulty may be obviated if farmers will look for an insect like that shown in figure 1, but very minute and somewhat resembling a very small mosquito. During warm days, in the egg-laying season, the flies may be observed flying about in the young wheat, alighting upon the leaves. In cooler days, or in early morning while a heavy dew is on, they will be down among the leaves. Or even on the ground.
