A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Entomology is one the importance of which has not yet been fully realized. Until quite recent times the man who went into the fields with a magnifying lens and a net was regarded as a more or less harmless crank. To-day that idea has become considerably modified, and man is learning that his own life is often menaced by the insignificant insects which buzz and move around him; likewise with his cattle and his crops, for these are even more threatened than he is himself. The entomologists of to-day are rendering vast services to humanity, and those of the future will wield powers the significance of which we are as yet scarcely able to comprehend. Nevertheless, the study of insect life has yet to be made popular. To assist in the later purpose the life-histories contained in this volume are designed. It is of growing importance that the public should be taught in plain and simple language the details in the lives of familiar insects many of which are our valuable friends, and at the same time are deadly enemies of some of our worst insect foes.
