This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: OKTHOPTERA. Leaving the Rhyncota, we come to the OrthopTera, the Insects constituting this Order having each a mouth formed for biting. The word Orthoptera (from orthos, straight, and pteron, a wing), is applied to this order, because all the insects belonging to it are distinguished by their posterior wings, which are generally large and strongly reticulated, being longitudinally folded when at rest. The metamorphosis is incomplete, both larva and pupa being in this order, as in the preceding one, active, and resembling the perfect insect, except that the former has no wings, and the latter only rudiments. The abdomen often terminates in two bristle-like appendages forming an ovipositor. The insects belonging to this order often assume strange and grotesque forms, such as leaves and sticks, hence called walking-leaves, and walking- sticks, as the Phyllium Siccifolium, and the Bacteria fragilis; they occur principally in warm climates, very few being found in Europe. The Orthoptera are divided into two large sections, viz., the Saltatorial and the Cursorial; in the former the hind legs are always much lengthened and formed for leaping, as in crickets, grasshoppers, and locusts. In the latter the legs are formed for running, as in the cockroaches. The Saltatorial Orthoptera include three families, the Locustidae, the Gryl- lidae, and the Achetidae. The destructive species of the first family is happily seldom seen in this country. The fearful ravages of these insect-pests in localities they visit are well-known. The Oedipoda Higratoria, or migratory locust, is the species which sometimes visits Europe. In the year 1748 these insects visited Europe in immense multitudes. Charles XII. and his army, then in Bessarabia, were stopped in their course. It is said that t...

Download or read book The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects written by Peter C. Barnard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 1326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Entomological Society (RES) and Wiley-Blackwell are proud to present this landmark publication, celebrating the wonderful diversity of the insects of the British Isles, and the work of the RES (founded 1833). This book is the only modern systematic account of all 558 families of British insects, covering not just the large and familiar groups that are included in popular books, but even the smallest and least known. It is beautifully illustrated throughout in full colour with photographs by experienced wildlife photographers to show the range of diversity, both morphological and behavioural, among the 24,000 species. All of the 6,000 genera of British insects are listed and indexed, along with all the family names and higher groups. There is a summary of the classification, biology and economic importance of each family together with further references for detailed identification. All species currently subject to legal protection in the United Kingdom are also listed. The Royal Entomological Society is one of the oldest and most prestigious of its kind in the world. It is the leading organisation for professional entomologists and its main aim has always been the promotion of knowledge about insects. The RES began its famous Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects in 1949, and new works in that series continue to be published. The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects has been produced to demonstrate the on-going commitment of the RES to educate and encourage each generation to study these fascinating creatures. This is a key reference work for serious students of entomology and amateur entomologists, as well as for professionals who need a comprehensive source of information about the insect groups of the British Isles they may be less familiar with.
