Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Population of an Old Pear-Tree: Or, Stories of Insect Life When certain blue spirits begin to flit about me, I depart from my study to go and read, in what I am allowed, even by my clerical uncle, to call my book of devotions.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III A TRAGEDY IX THE GRASS. Next came a cockchafer, big, heavy, and rough-footed, tumbling about like a comfortable citizen who has stayed too long at the public- house, and is going home a good deal too late, and pretty well scared at being alone. He took long steps but did not get on much, for he was blinded by the sunlight, and his great tail dragged in the sand. At first sight one would have thought that he had been feasting too deeply on the branches of the old Pear-Tree, and that some drops of dew had disturbed his brain. Yet this idea would have been very incorrect; for in truth the poor creature was only dazzled, and certainly so might any one have been in his place, for he had just made his entrance into the world. Four years before, on a fine June evening, his mother had dug a trench in the ground at the foot of the great tree, and laid some oblong eggs in it of a pale yellow colour. When she had satisfactorily accomplished this, returning above ground she inhaled the balmy breaths of air in a melancholy mood; and after having spent a few days on a leafy branch, at last fell from it and died amid the stalks of a forget-me-not. She had laid her eggs side by side; and as time went by, and they felt the reviving influences of spring, they gradually changed their colour. At last thence issued certain six-footed white larvae, and among them our cockchafer, then only a humble worm?a kind of false caterpillar with five rings. His head was scaly, hard, and rather brown; there were two great eyes in it, and it had strong jaws, finished off by a pair of short antennae. Almost with his first breath of life began sharp twinges in the region of the stomach, and he set ravenously to work, with a fierce burning, insatiable appetite. He grew and changed his ...

Download or read book Ant written by Charlotte Sleigh and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-04-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ants are legion: at present there are 11,006 species of ant known; they live everywhere in the world except the polar icecaps; and the combined weight of the ant population has been estimated to make up half the mass of all insects alive today. When we encounter them outdoors, ants fascinate us; discovered in our kitchen cupboards, they elicit horror and disgust. Charlotte Sleigh’s Ant elucidates the cultural reasons behind our varied reactions to these extraordinary insects, and considers the variety of responses that humans have expressed at different times and in different places to their intricate, miniature societies. Ants have figured as fantasy miniature armies, as models of good behavior, as infiltrating communists and as creatures on the borderline between the realms of the organic and the machine: in 1977 British Telecom hired ant experts to help solve problems with their massive information network. This is the first book to examine ants in these and many other such guises, and in so doing opens up broader issues about the history of science and humans’ relations with the natural world. It will be of interest to anyone who likes natural history or cultural studies, or who has ever rushed out and bought a can of RaidTM. "[Charlotte Sleigh's] stylish, engaging and informative study deserves to win new members for the ant fan club."—Jonathan Bate, The Times
