Excerpt from The Butterflies of Maine: Designed for the Use of the Students in the Maine State College, and the Farmers of the State; Orono, February, 1884
Quite a number of the butterflies feed on plants which are of no special value to our people, but those which are destruo tive to our more valuable plants should be well known in all their stages, and the best means of destroying them should be understood. I have therefore given all the facts known to me, which can be of value in holding the injurious insects in check.
It should be a part of the education of a farmer, to dis cover his friends and enemies among the insect tribes, and to do this, there is no better way than to raise those which trouble his crops, carrying them through all their transforma tions, in order to enable him to recognize them in any stage of their existence, and to discover the most vulnerable stage in their lives, or the one in which they may be most easily destroyed.
