Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Know the An Illustrated Key to the More Common Families of Insects, With Suggestions for Collecting, Mounting and Studying ThemThis book is designed to make it easy to acquire a ready knowledge of the insects. It is closely applicable throughout North America and should be helpful wherever insects are studied. Illustrated keys for identifications of the orders and of the principal families are given. One common representative of each included family is pictured and briefly described. In all, 196 species of common insects are thus treated. It should be borne in mind that for each species pictured, there are many others which space does,not permit us to show; When a specimen is seen to closely resemble one that is pictured, it will likely be found to belong to the same family. If it differs in some details it probably represents a species not herein described and will need to be referred to more complete literature or to a specialist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
