Synopsis
The Insect Hunter's Companion by Joseph Greene is a two-part, practical manual on amateur entomology focused on Lepidoptera. The core section, Instructions for Collecting Butterflies and Moths, reviews methods for capturing, rearing, killing, and preserving insects, including beating, sweeping, searching, netting, sugar baits, ivy bloom, nettles, and light trapping. It also covers pinning and setting, caging, and cabinet organization, with guidance on humane handling and prevention of grease, mites, and mould. A substantial later portion, Pupa Digging, lists dozens of species and offers field-tested advice on locating pupae, including tree choice, timing, and techniques, underscoring patience and perseverance. The work blends hands-on techniques with reflections on exchange among collectors and the care required to maintain collections. Originally published in 1863, The Insect Hunter's Companion remains a thorough, practice-oriented handbook for beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike.
