Getting the Wood on the Wood Bug.

Wood bugs are easy prey for the astute rhubarb raiser. As you know, patient reader, wood bugs spend their existence running up and down pieces of wood. This is their fatal mistake; the wood-bug hunter obtains a bundle of chair legs and sticks them in the ground at suitable intervals. The wood-bugs run up the chair legs, naturally assuming that where there are chair legs there must be chairs; but when they reach the top and sit down for a breather—well, this is where the gardener gets the wood on the wood-bug.
