Synopsis
Instructions For The Collection And Preservation Of Neuropterous Insects by Robert Mclachlan. A practical manual from 1873 that guides naturalists in assembling, preserving, and studying Neuroptera, the diverse order that includes lacewings, antlions, and caddisflies. The work emphasizes that a well-ordered collection is essential for understanding this heterogeneous group, and covers field collection techniques such as nets, selecting pins and setting boards, and careful mounting that reveals wing venation and leg structure for study. It discusses dry-pinned specimens versus moist preparations, arguing that pinned specimens, properly set, can remain durable for centuries while keeping essential locality and identification data on labels. It provides apparatus and methods for killing, transport, and temporary storage (killing bottles, pill-boxes, paper envelopes) and cautions against over-reliance on carding. The volume gives extensive, group-specific instructions for major families (dragonflies, white ants, may-flies, stone-flies, caddisflies and related Planipennia, plus allied families) and concludes with encouragement to young entomologists to study Neuroptera and to treat it as a field for serious inquiry, not mere collecting. It reproduces an 1873 scholarly guide.
