Frequencies of colour morphs were recorded in 1969–74 in 5 island populations of Philaenus spumarius. The polymorphic balance was accurately maintained in three of them, but less constantly in the other two. One of the latter populations experienced a great fluctuation in size, and this was accompanied by a profound alteration in morph frequencies.
