Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. The present volume is written expressly for those who desire to extend their knowledge of the British Lepidoptera, or, to use the more popular names, 'Butterflies and Moths.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterfly and Moth Book: Personal Studies and Observations of the More Familiar Species MY interest in Moths and Butterflies was awakened some ten years ago while at the farm on which we spent our sum mers. The big flower garden and the Old orchard served free luncheons to these insects and, judging by numbers, they appreciated the treats offered. At the time I was in need of an entire change of thought a relaxation from the strain which had come with the long illness Of the little mother. She had grown better, but I realized that henceforth she would always require my personal care and attention, and I wanted to give her not only these but some new interests which might replace in part other interests that she would be obliged to relinquish. It was then that the Moths and Butterflies solved these problems, for they led us into the fairy-land of Natural Science, where, as we journeyed, we forgot much of the fatigue and pain Of earlier days.

This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterflies and Moths at Home and Abroad AN elementary work of this kind necessarily displays many imperfections. The subject is too wide for casual survey; the treatment of the few species of British butterflies and moths I have attempted to describe falls fr short of what, as a naturalist, I am conscious it should be. My aim in writing, however, has been rather to guide and to suggest than to provide further material for advanced students; and I venture to hope that the indications given may induce those who are drawn towards Entomology, whether as pastime or study, to fill in the outlines for themselves fr n the inexhaustible Book of Nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Butterflies and Moths of Teneriffe When the author left England, in the autumn of 1892, for a winters sunshine in Teneriffe, it was by no means her intention to write on the Lepidoptera of that Island. Soon after her arrival, however, she was struck by two things; the want of any sort of interesting out-door occupation (other than somewhat desultory riding expeditions) experienced by her companions in exile, and the absence of any account of the Lepidoptera of the Canary Islands, which we aid enable collectors to name their specimens. It is her hope that the present publication may be, at least to some extent, the means of remedying these deficiencies.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Illustrated Natural History of British Butterflies and Moths My work is completed. I am bound to commend it to the "benevolent reader" in the good old-fashioned, time-honoured style. Fettered by usage, equally old-fashioned, equally time-honoured, I am induced to place this commendation in front, although I entirely agree with the sentiment that has induced some writers truthfully to place their preface as written, at the end, when all the rest was complete. This act of authorship is generally regarded as facetious - a very mild Joke certainly, but a joke nevertheless. I cannot understand this: I cannot perceive why an author should be ashamed or afraid to make the public confession that his valedictory address was given forth after his long companionship with the reader had ceased. I cannot conceive why such an obvious truism should be thought droll. Be this as it may, one thing is certain: an author is held to be something less than courteous who does not commend his labours to the public in some way or other, even though he may have nothing to say by way of commendation: so I bow to custom and commence my task. Would that I could adopt the stereo-form of prefaces, and plead the pressing solicitations of a large circle of admiring friends as the lever that enforced publication; but I feel that such a plea would be untruthful. I have been submitted to no such pressure: I have been lifted out of my normal obscurity by no such lever. Friends such as these have held aloof in the coolest and most unconcerned manner. I am left without excuse. First, then, I would invite attention to the fact, again noticed farther on, that I had a very, very early predilection for Butterflies - I may say even from my nurses arms - and this taste having continued to old age, and having been indulged whenever opportunity offered, I have seen more of the little world of English Butterflies than most of my compatriots.

As soon as their change of garments is over, the little caterpillars begin to feed again, as hungrily as before. But after about a week their new skins are too tight for them, and they have to change them again! This very often happens six or seven times before they are fully fed. But at last they stop eating, throw off their skins once more, and appear as chrysalids. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British and European Butterflies and Moths (Macrolepidoptera) Though Several books have appeared on the Macrolepidoptera of Europe, a new work with good illustrations and of reasonable price may still be useful. It is to fill this want that the Authors have decided upon placing the present volume before their readers. Space has not permitted them to include all the European species, but most of those inhabiting Central Europe have been dealt with, and nearly all those of the British Isles will be found described or figured. All the British species have English names assigned to them, a feature which has been neglected in many books of recent date.

Download or read book The Day Butterflies and Duskflyers of New England written by Edward Knobel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Day Butterflies and Duskflyers of New England: How to Find and Know Them Butterflies and moths. Insects without jaws, having the maxilla prolonged into a Spiral sucking tube, the wings broad and covered with dust-like scales. The transformations are complete. The larva are provided with six true legs, and from, one pair to five of false or pro-legs. The pupa is generally inclosed in a cocoon (except butterflies), and has the legs and wings soldered to the breast. This order has been divided into three groups, called day, dusk, and night lepidoptera, or butterflies, sphinges, and moths. Butterflies are distinguished from moths by having the antenna knobbed or thickened at the end while the antenna of hawk-moths are thickened in the middle, those of moths are either simple or feathered. As these are the most delicate of all insects they should be carefully handled, to avoid injuring the specimen by rubbing the dust or scales from the wings. They are most easily captured with a gauze net, after which they may be killed with benzine or ether, or by slightly pinching the thorax, taking care' to have the wings folded together over the back, then pinned and placed in the collecting box. As entomology does not consist in simply knowing an insect in the perfect state, or being able to give its scientific name, a knowledge of its habits and transformations is necessary. To obtain this the student should collect and rear caterpillars, watching them through their different changes, and closely observing every particular connected with their metamorphoses.
