Excerpt from Insect Behavior
In preparing this little volume my object has been to produce a work written in a light enough vein to be entertaining to the reader, however casually interested he may be in insect life, but at the same time, one that is in every way scientifically accurate.
In the chapters which follow, I have endeavored to describe as vividly as it lies within my power to do, various phases of insect behavior which I have been fortunate enough to observe and record during many years spent in active field work.
Chapters II to VIII inclusive, treat exclusively of South American insects, studied in the jungles of British Guiana, and while they arc interesting species, whose habits have heretofore remained unrecorded, they possess no more wonderful life stories than our insects of the Eastern States, whose habits, for the most part, make up the remainder of this book.
Wherever one searches in the world of insects there is something new to be found. Perhaps only an unrecorded habit, or a slight problem to be solved, yet each problem leads to another, and soon one is led unconsciously into the depths of the study. Once in, there appears to be no way out, and I for one do not wish to retrace my steps to the freedom I knew before the fascination of this study laid hold of me.
If this book leads others into the world of insect study or, in some measure, brings home to the reader, the same fascination that these life stories hold for the author, then its object will be fully realized.
