Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Butterflies, Moths and Beetles Insects have six legs in the perfect state, and no more; four (or two) wings, two eyes, composed of a great number of facets, and sometimes one, two, or three eyes of another kind, called simple eyes, or stemmata, on the tip of the head. Their body is composed of thirteen segments, divided into head, thorax, and abdomen. They have neither heart, brain, nor nervous system at all resembling those of the higher animals. The place of the heart is supplied by an organ called the great dorsal vessel, lying along the back and the brain and nervous system of vertebrate animals are represented by a double row of connected ganglia, or knots of nervous matter, lying along the lower surface of the body. They breathe by means of spiracles, or air-holes, opening on each side of the greater number of the segments of the body. The muscular system is highly developed, the muscles being far more numerous than those of vertebrate animals. Insects pass through four stages, called respectively egg, larva (or caterpillar), pupa (or Chrysalis), and imago, though these are more sharply defined in some insects than in others. They also moult their skins more or less frequently in the larva state; and although they sometimes possess more than six legs in this state (and occasionally none at all), yet the larvae of insects are not generally liable to be mistaken for any other animals.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Illustrated Natural History of British Butterflies and Moths Once a worm, a thing that crept On the bare earth, then wrought a tomb and slept. In this state of worm or caterpillar, Butterflies of many kinds are most easy to obtain: to my notion, an umbrella and. A walking-stick are the best implements. Spread the umbrella; turn it upside down; hold it under a shrub, a bunch of nettles, or the bough of a tree: thrash the foliage with your walking-stick, and caterpillars without number will fall into the umbrella: pick them up, put them. In tin boxes, and take them home. They will not all produce Butterflies; many of them moths but whether caterpillars of moths or Butterflies, they are all worth keeping. Caterpillars being mostly eaters of vegetable matter, there is no difficulty in providing and renewing the plants upon which they feed. A garden pot, half filled with loose, sandy earth, with a few pieces of cane bent over, and the ends inserted in the pot this frame covered with gauze, and a string passed over it below the mouth of the pot, forms a very good cage for caterpillars. A slip of the food-plant should be'first placed in a phial of water and put in the centre of the cage, which should be kept in a shady place. According to the size of the caterpillars, and ithe heat of the weather, the food will require to be renewed from time to time. These instructions are copied from the World of Insects, by J. W. Douglas, and others, more minute, elaborate, and complete, will be found in that excellent little book, The insect-hunter's Companion, by the Rev. Joseph Greene. I would most willingly quote pages from this last-named work, which is published by Mr. Van Voorst at 1s. 6d. But I imagine that every collector of insects must of necessity purchase the book itself, and it would be useless to possess the same information in two forms. Treated in accordance with Mr. Greene's instructions, and carefully watched from time to time, the caterpillar will soon grow to its full size, will fix itself to the pot, the muslin, the leaves, or the twigs, and then turn to a chrysalis, and subsequently to a Butterfly, in the manner which I have fully described at page 14.

Further, the pupae? Are inactive, that is, do not move about or feed, or indeed shew signs of what is called active life, except sometimes an impatient wriggling of the anal extremity under irritation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Butterflies I take it that this little "Peep at Nature," needs no apology; the exquisite coloured plates, produced direct from natural butterflies by the three-colour process, are a sufficient justification of its appearance. The author is a practical entomologist of many years' standing. He writes from the fulness of a rich experience in the fields. He justly advocates the "Paisley" method of setting insects. I know it to be the more expeditious, and less calculated to damage specimens, than the ordinary process. His notes on the preservation of larvae will be welcome in many quarters. The publishers desire me to express their indebtedness to Messrs. Watkins and Doncaster, 36, Strand, W.C., for kindly arranging and lending the specimens from which the coloured plates have been produced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common British Insects: Selected From the Typical Beetles, Moths, and Butterflies of Great Britain There is scarcely a branch of science, however interesting it may be, which does not at first repel the intending student by the array of strange words with which the treasures of knowledge are surrounded. This is especially the case in Botany and Zoology, which contain, in addition to the usual technical language, vast numbers of names belonging to various plants or animals, each name consisting of two words, one denoting the genus and the other the species. In the following pages I intend to describe, as far as possible within so limited a space, the butter ies moths, and beetles of Great Britain, and, though giving the needful scientific information, to use few technical terms, and always to explain those which of necessity must be employed. Our first business is evidently, when treating of these insects, to define precisely what an insect is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chapter From the Insect World: Butterflies and Moths He who studies nature and correctly interprets her language reads a book that is free from error; for he reads the thoughts of the Great Thinker. For, what is nature but the expression of His thought? If he reads unaided, he discovers truth; if he follows the interpretation of another, he demonstrates the truth. To discover or demonstrate truth is an exercise of high disciplinary value. A well recognized value of nature stud) is the cultivation it affords to the observational powers. To make close and accurate distinctions is a task of no mean significance. Its necessity is recognized in every field of labor. Herbert Spencer has well said: "Exhaustive observation is an element of all great success. It is not to artists, naturalists, and men of science only that it is needful; it is not only true that the skillful physician depends on it for the correctness of his diagnosis, and that to the good engineer it is so important that some years in the workshop are prescribed for him; but we may see that the philosopher also is fundamentally one who observes relationships of things which others had overlooked, and that the poet is one who sees the fine facts in nature which all recognize when pointed out, but did not before remark. Nothing requires more to be insisted on than that vivid and complete impressions are all-essential." More than a score of years ago, Chancellor F. H. Snow, of the University of Kansas, wrote: "It is because the power of observation is not properly trained at the time of its greatest activity that so many of our 'most highly' educated college graduates find themselves far inferior to self-educated artisans in knowledge of the common things of life. The activity of the observing faculty begins in infancy, and should continue through the entire period of childhood and youth. The common methods of training the youthful mind bear too much resemblance to the Chinese method, which trains no faculty but memory. The mistake of the elementary schools is too often repeated and intensified in the higher institutions of learning. Many a young man who can accurately distinguish the niceties of the Greek accentuation has never been taught to observe the commonest objects of nature around him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Butterflies: Figures and Descriptions of Every Native Species; With an Account of Butterfly Development, Structure, Habits, Localities, Mode of Capture, and Preservation A Desire to extend the knowledge of, and by so doing to extend the love for, those sunny creatures called Butterflies, has prompted the author to undertake this little work, which, though making no pretence to a technically scientific character, will, it is hoped, be found sufficiently complete and accurate to supply all information needful to the young entomologist as to the names, appearance, habits, localities, &c. of all our British Butterflies, together with a general history of butterfly life - the mode of capture, preservation, and arrangement in cabinets - the apparatus required, &c. At the same time it is so inexpensive as to be accessible to every schoolboy. The subject is one which has formed the delight and study of the author from early boyhood, and butterfly-hunting still preserves its fascinations, redoubling the pleasure of the country ramble in summer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterflies and Moths (British) The favourable reception with which the 'Out-door World' has been greeted has encouraged the publishers to issue a series of volumes dealing in fuller detail with the various branches of Natural History treated of in that work. Necessarily each subject was only briefly touched upon, but the study is of so enticing a character that 'appetite grows by feeding, ' and the students of the 'Out-door World, ' having tasted the sweetness of companionship with Nature, will not rest satisfied with the help afforded by that handbook. Each one will want to go deeper into that particular department which most appeals to his own inclinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British Butterflies An instinctive general love of nature, that is, in other words, of the works of God, has been implanted by Him, the Great Architect of the universe - the Great Parent of all - in the mind of every man. There is no one, whether old or young, or of whatever circumstances or rank in life, who can look without any feeling or emotion on the handiworks of Creation which surround him - who can behold a rich sunset, a storm, the sea, a tree, a mountain, a river, a rainbow, a flower, without some degree of admiration, and some measure of thought. He may, indeed, for the time, or for a moment, be engrossed by some worldly care, or some other subject - some remembrance of the past, or anticipation of the future; but this cannot always be the case, and whenever the mind is relieved from that overpowering feeling, the spontaneous thoughts which originate in the love of nature will be sure to arise in his soul. Whether indeed in some there is more than a general feeling of this kind; whether all, if opportunities had been afforded to them, and had been afforded to them in good time, would have found that especial delight which others find in the more intimate study of this or that branch of Natural History; whether it may have been only the pressure of different and altogether necessary thoughts that has pre-occupied the mind, and taken away, or, rather, set aside, those which would otherwise have naturally found favour with it, I will not take upon me to determine; but this much I can and do say, because I can say it of and for myself, that with me, in this sense, the universal includes the particular - includes every particular that is included under it; for there is no group of the wide-spread family of nature that I do not love to study, and to become more and more intimately acquainted with the members of. They are all the creations of the same wonderful Being - "the hand that made them is Divine." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
