First edition of this natural history classic. "This book, written in language as simple as is consistent with scientific accuracy, is intended mainly for the amateur student of natural history, for the farmer, gardener and householder who wish to know something about the numerous insect friends and foes they see about them. . The insects are dealt with in systematic order, beginning with the most primitive, and the arrangement given in A. D. Imms' well-known Textbook of Entomology is followed, except for the highest orders.".
