Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Insects (General) When it is pointed out that there are over one hundred and seventy different species of Caddis Flies in Britain alone, and several thousands of species of Ichneumons, the difficulty of compressing into one modest volume even a brief survey of British Insect Life will be realised. Whilst the members of the Order Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths) have been accorded a volume of their own, and thus relieved the congestion somewhat, there remained a mighty host to contend with in the general insecta, and it is with representatives of these that this fifth volume is concerned. It has been the author´s aim to treat his subject more or less scientifically, and yet not be dry-as-dust, as a book on insect-life must, to be of any useful service, include scientific names, orders, families, and the rest. Popular books on these insect-marvels, whilst eminently readable, are of little use for identification or reference, and the idea has been to strike a happy medium by producing a tome that shall make a direct appeal to all Nature lovers, and yet have some value from the point of view already mentioned.
