Snapping beetles differ from wireworms in life habit
The text explains that snapping beetles or skip jacks are the fully developed form of the wireworm. They are brownish slender beetles that leap when on their backs. White grubs and snapping beetles share grass feeding habits but differ in preferred lands. Lower, cooler, damper lands attract snapping beetles, while white grubs favor higher lands. Fall plowing of sod lands is suggested as a preventive measure, with late fall or winter plowing often best. This method appears to reduce future ravages more than other known practices at the Ohio station.
