Excerpt from A Manual of Injurious Insects: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy for Their Attacks to Food Crops, Forest Trees, and Fruit, and With Short Introduction to Entomology
Many of the illustrations are reproductions from the beautiful figures drawn from life by John Curtis for his 'farm Insects,' for the use of which I am indebted to the kind courtesy of Messrs. Blackie Son, Glasgow.
