Download or read book Insects at Home written by J. G. Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insects at Home: Being a Popular Account of All Those Insects Which Are Useful or Destructive, and Minutely Describing Their Structure, Habits, and Transformations In the Woodcuts which are inserted in the text the num bered figures represent insects, and those to which letters are attached represent the most important details of those insects. It is by means of such details that entomologists are enabled to arrange insects in some definite system, and so to enable anyone who is acquainted with them to identify an insect which he has never before seen. The reader may probably notice that these figures of insects are but slightly shaded, and in many cases are little but outline. This is intentional, and the shading is omitted in order that the reader may supply its place by colour. In every case where red, yellow, or light hues of any tint are to be used, their place is left as nearly blank as possible; and, as the insects are described fully in the text, there will be no difficulty in applying the colours. I would recommend a liberal use of ox-gall in mixing the colours, so as to neutralise the oily lines of the printer's ink.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insect Transformations It was universally believed by the ancient philosophers, that maggots, flies, and other insects were generated from putrefying substances. This opinion continues to be held by uninformed persons among ourselves; - though it would be equally correct to maintain, that a flight of vultures had been generated by the dead carcass which they may be seen devouring, or a flock of sheep from the grass-field in which they graze. Another opinion, perhaps still more generally diffused, is, that caterpillars, aphides, and other garden insects which destroy the leaves of plants, are generated, propagated, or, at least, spread about, by certain winds or states of the air, mysteriously and indefinitely termed blight. The latter belief is, probably, not so easy of immediate refutation as the former; - but, as we shall endeavour to show, it seems to us to be equally erroneous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life-Story of Insects Among the manifold operations of living creatures few have more strongly impressed the casual observer or more deeply interested the thoughtful student than the transformations of insects. The schoolboy watches the tiny green caterpillars hatched from eggs laid on a cabbage leaf by the common white butterfly, or maybe rears successfully a batch of silkworms through the changes and chances of their lives, while the naturalist questions yet again the how and 'why of these common though wondrous life-stories, as he seeks to trace their course more fully than his predecessors knew.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insects Abroad: Being a Popular Account of Foreign Insects, Their Structure, Habits, and Transformations The object of this work is two - fold; first to show the great and important part played by Insects in the economy of the world, and the extreme value to mankind of those insects which we are accustomed to call Destructives; and next to note the wonderful modifications of structure which enable the insects to fulfil their mission, and the surpassing beauty with which many of them are endowed. Incidentally, many interesting points connected with insect life are described, as, for example, the manner in which many of them directly support human life by furnishing food, or being themselves eaten. Thus Bees not only furnish honey, but in several countries are themselves eaten while in the state Of grub-dom, together with the bee - bread which has been laid up in the cells. Several Wasp larvae share the same fate. Then, there are the Locusts, which, although they destroy vegetable life, are in many parts of the world invaluable in preserving animal life, by furnishing food, not only to man, but to beasts, birds, and reptiles. Termites, again, form a favourite article of food in almost every country where they are found; while in Australia, the fat-bodied Butterfly popularly called the Bugong Moth, affords nourishment to thousands of the natives, and in a few weeks changes them from starvelings into plump and contented beings. The Dragon Flies are employed in the same manner in the same country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transformations (or Metamorphoses) Of Insects, (Insecta, Myriapoda, Arachnida, and Crustacea): Being an Adaptation, for English Readers, of M. Emile Blanchard's "Metamorphoses, Moeurs Et Instincts Des Insects"; And a Compilation From the Works of Newport, Charles Darwin, and Others The articulate animals comprise those which the great Linnaeus called insects -that is to say, the true insects, the hundred-legs, the spiders, and the crabs. Insects existed in very remote geological ages, and their wings have been found beautifully preserved in the remains of those old forests and swamps which have been formed into coal. Thus early in the world's history the beetle droned at eventide, and the merry chirp of the grasshopper was added to the song of Nature. Moreover, the hundred-legs of the period enjoyed the quietude of the great tree stems, and many a spider spread its web on the ferns and the close underwood. Coal is dug up from depths of hundreds of fathoms, and is covered by sediments which are the remains of old continents, and sea bottoms, the thickness of which is a measure of the time they took to form; yet so far back in the annals of Nature the tiny insects came from the egg, lived as gormandising grubs, changed into sleepy pupae, and burst forth into lively winged creatures. Ever since, and during all the successive changes of the world's surface, insect life has manifested itself, and now articulate animals are found everywhere.

Download or read book Life Histories of Indian Insects Vol 5 written by C. C. Ghosh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Histories of Indian Insects, Vol. 5: Lepidoptera (Butterflies) The insects, the life-histories of which are described in this volume, are representatives of the principal families of that interesting group of insects, the Butterflies. With the exception of one (delias) the others are pests of more or less economic import ance, occurring on trees and plants either cultivated or grown for the garden. All are of interest and importance in that they are probably the first to attract the attention of the beginner in Ento mology, especially Economic Entomology. Also they occur so constantly and are so common that in all their stages, they ftc quently come under the notice of even the common people, but for want of a proper knowledge and observation ordinary people fail to see the connection between the caterpillar which eats the leaves, the dormant pupa and the butterfly which incessantly flies about under trees, over bushes and plants and not infrequently in houses or even over one's head. The hanging Nymphalid, Papilionid and Pierid pupae are frequently mistaken for fruits by many. For the progress of Economic Entomology in India it is essential that the people should become familiar with the insects and especially with their life-history. The greatest bar to progress in checking injurious insects here is the fact that a mysterious origin is usually assigned to them, simply because the elementary and essential facts of insect transformations are not known to those who suffer from the depre.
