Abstract
Studies of forest insects in America have been, in the past, principally undertaken only in cases of serious outbreaks, and little or no attention has been paid to determinations of the presence of potential pests. Especially is this true of the western United States where forest conservation has received practically no consideration other than fire control and attacks upon serious pest outbreaks, However, of late years it has taken a more important position in public planning with the Civilian Conservation Corps being utilized in reforestation and insect control programs throughout the nation. Little effort has been made to study the insect populations and associations of our forests; therefore, the problem with which this thesis treats was undertaken in order to supply preliminary information concerning the forest insects of a portion of the Cache National Forest in the immediate vicinity of Cache Valley in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho.
