There is no limit to the possibilities of pleasure and in- 

 terest in the field study and collecting of moths and butter- 

 flies. The study should include observations on their flight, 

 their resting attitudes, their feeding habits, their play with 

 each other, and their mating and egg-laying. 



Directions for collecting and preserving these and other 

 insects will be found in Appendix II. 



Butterflies can be named by referring to some such book as Corn- 

 stock's "How to Know the Butterflies," Holland's "The Butterfly 

 Book," or Scudder's "Everyday Butterflies." The more common 

 and conspicuous moths can be named from Holland's "The Moth Book. "
