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 summers. 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.

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: This lavishly illustrated guide will enable you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi. The more than 1,200 color photographs and two dozen line drawings include numerous exceptionally striking images. The giant silk moths, tiger moths, and many other species covered include forest pests, common garden guests, economically important species, and of course, the Mescal Worm and Mexican Jumping Bean caterpillars. Full-page species accounts cover almost 400 species, with up to six images per species including an image of the adult plus succinct text with information on distribution, seasonal activity, foodplants, and life history. These accounts are generously complemented with additional images of earlier instars, closely related species, noteworthy behaviors, and other intriguing aspects of caterpillar biology. Many caterpillars are illustrated here for the first time. Dozens of new foodplant records are presented and erroneous records are corrected. The book provides considerable information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond that available in other popular works on Eastern butterflies and moths. The introductory chapter covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation. The section titled "Caterpillar Projects" will be of special interest to educators. Given the dearth of accessible guides on the identification and natural history of caterpillars, Caterpillars of Eastern North America is a must for entomologists and museum curators, forest managers, conservation biologists and others who seek a compact, easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For the lover of all things lepidopterous, The Book of Caterpillars is a beautifully curated collection and guide to 600 species from around the globe.” —The American Biology Teacher While most of us picture caterpillars as cute fuzzballs munching on leaves, there is much more to them than we imagine. A caterpillar’s survival hinges on finding enough food and defending itself from the array of natural enemies lined up to pounce and consume. And the astounding adaptations and strategies they have developed to maximize their chances of becoming a butterfly or moth are only just beginning to be understood, from the Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar that resembles a small snake to the Eastern Carpenter Bee Hawkmoth caterpillar that attempts to dissuade potential predators by looking like a diseased leaf. The Book of Caterpillars unveils the mysteries of six hundred species from around the world, introducing readers to the complexity and beauty of these underappreciated insects. With the advent of high-quality digital macrophotography, the world of caterpillars is finally opening up. The book presents a wealth of stunning imagery that showcases the astonishing diversity of caterpillar design, structure, coloration, and patterning. Each entry also features a two-tone engraving of the adult specimen, emphasizing the wing patterns and shades, as well as a population distribution map and table of essential information that includes their habitat, typical host plants, and conservation status. Throughout the book are fascinating facts that will enthrall expert entomologists and curious collectors alike. A visually rich and scientifically accurate guide to six hundred of the world’s most peculiar caterpillars, this volume presents readers with a rare, detailed look at these intriguing forms of insect life.

Download or read book Butterfly People written by William R. Leach and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 32 pages of full-color inserts and black-and-white illustrations throughout. From one of our most highly regarded historians, here is an original and engrossing chronicle of nineteenth-century America's infatuation with butterflies—“flying flowers”—and the story of the naturalists who unveiled the mysteries of their existence. A product of William Leach's lifelong love of butterflies, this engaging and elegantly illustrated history shows how Americans from all walks of life passionately pursued butterflies, and how through their discoveries and observations they transformed the character of natural history. In a book as full of life as the subjects themselves and foregrounding a collecting culture now on the brink of vanishing, Leach reveals how the beauty of butterflies led Americans into a deeper understanding of the natural world.

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.

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.

Download or read book Butterflies and Moths of North America Classic Reprint written by Herman Strecker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterflies and Moths of North America This Pamphlet is the result of numerous applications from beginners in many parts of the country, for information as to the methods of capturing, preserving, classifying, &c., Lepidoptera (butterflies and Moths) and I have endeavored to give such notes as lay in my power, the result of a lifetime devoted to studying and collecting in this branch of Natural Science. Almost the first thing the beginner wishes to know, after he has made a few captures and finds butterflies are not all alike, and not confined to two or three kinds, viz., little yellow ones and big red or black ones, is whether they have names and what those names are. In default of being able to obtain this in formation, ten to one he will give them names of his own invention, probably derived from some peculiarity, real or fancied, of form or colour. Then comes the desire to obtain literature on the subject; then to get specimens from other localities as soon as he becomes aware that those of Calabar are not the same as those of Kentucky; and so one thing leads to the other until, from the little acorn sown by chance, a goodly tree doth grow and flourish. To give some plain information that will tend a little to lighten the labor of the beginner, (perhaps far away from good collections, libraries and con genial companions, ) has been my object, as also to increase my correspondence with many students and collectors, both new and old, in various parts of this country as well as abroad, with whom I have not as yet had the pleasure of communicating.
