Abstract

Digit aria sanguinalis L.; broad-leaved carpet grass, Axonopus furcatus (Fugge); Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.; and St. Augustine grass, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze. There were scattered plants of goose grass, Elusine indica Gaertn; smut grass, Sporobolus poirettii (Roem. and Schult.) Hitchc.; and on the higher spots Natal grass, Rhynechelytrum roseum (Nees.) Staff - Hubb. The area was partly shaded by some royal poinciana trees, Delonix regia (Boj.) Raf., and silk trees, Albizzia julibrissin (Willed.) Durazz. Several of the predatory maggots were confined for observation in soil with the host insects. The host grubs were killed rather slowly over a period of two or three days, apparently by having their body fluids withdrawn by the maggots until the host was reduced to a shrivelled skin.
