Book excerpt: "Only those who live in the country are aware how much the success of cultivators, whether of farm or garden crops, depends upon insects. There is a surprising lack of knowledge among otherwise well educated people as to the life history of even the most common insects. The questions asked, not only by those in my immediate neighborhood, but by letters from all parts of the country, show how slight is the popular knowledge on this most important branch of Natural History. In view of this, and to bring a knowledge of the most destructive insects within reach of all, this volume has been prepared." - Preface.
