About This Book

A practical natural-history guide that explains the anatomy and life cycle of scaly-winged insects, treating eggs, caterpillars, pupæ, and adult structure in clear detail. It outlines classification and offers an introduction to the smaller micro-lepidoptera. Emphasis is placed on hands-on technique with step-by-step advice for catching, collecting ova and larvæ, rearing, setting, preserving, and arranging specimens in a cabinet. The work includes illustrated species accounts covering every British butterfly and many common larger moths, accompanied by coloured plates and numerous woodcuts. Appendices supply a classified species list and a seasonal calendar for field observation.
