Tom X. Mem. sur le Charanzon Lozange (Cionus scrophulariae) par Pierre Huber.
p. 33. When bred on the Scrophularia the larva excudes a viscid substance which makes a little transparent bladder, fixed on stems in which it undergoes its metamorphosis, (as may be seen in this country), but when living, or when transferred, to the bouillon blanc (which from names of C. Verbasci & Curculio Thapsus, must be a mullein) it become a burrower "mineuse", & makes galleries in the stems & in the parenchyma of the leaves, where thy make their cases & undergo their metamorphosis.(Here then is a variable instinct.)
Mem. ... des psoques par Pierre Huber.
p.43 — Has often remarked that trees covered with pucerons become black, which is caused (p 44) by an Uredo, on which the psoques feed — (all this in relation to Berberis dulcis. — N.B. Humble & Hive bees do visit the flowers much:— stamens when touched do approach pistil & then move away again. - )
