Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Sketches in Temperate America: A Series of Sketches and a Popular Account of Insects, Birds, and Plants, Treated From Some Aspects of Their Evolution and Ecological Relations In a popular exposition of the facts gleaned from nature, such as the present work intended to convey, it may more agreeable to present the subject sometimes from the artistic or mathetic point of view. This method does not sacrifice truth, which is the religion of science, but mitigates it, bringing about a wider reading circle and thereby serving a greater usefulness. This work consists essentially of suggestive essays drawn from observations afield, and treating of various insects, birds, and plants. In this account there is brought together a series of life histories of many of the animal forms. I have given more consideration here to the insects than to other groups of animals. I think this is justifiable when it is remembered how many more representatives of these animals populate the earth, as compared with other families of animals. The habits of some of the commoner species of Orthoptera, or grasshoppers and locusts, have been treated at length in the text. This feature, given in the last section of the book, along with the many photographic illustrations and drawings accenting their ecological relations, it is hoped, will interest the general reader in this group. As above intimated, the relation of animals and plants to their natural surroundings has been kept constantly in mind throughout its preparation. I have treated the subject of protective resemblance and mimicry, as well as the various protective devices inherent in insects, in a series of chapters because of the unusual interest centred in this theme. Many photographs are given, gathered with great care, of the actual live insects found in nature illustrative of protective resemblance and mimicry, and I have treated many of the examples given by Darwin in his "Origin of Species," but from the standpoint of my own views.
