ISBN-13: 9780817320096, 978-0817320096. Riley propelled entomology from a collector's parlor hobby of the nineteenth century to the serious study of insects in the Modern Age. Also examined in detail are his spectacular campaigns against the Rocky Mountain Locust that stalled western migration in the 1870s, the Grape Phylloxera that threatened French vineyards in the 1870s and 80s, the Cotton Worm that devastated southern cotton fields after the Civil War, and the Cottony Cushion Scale that threatened the California citrus industry in the 1880s.
