The study of entomology is one of the most 

 fascinating of pursuits. It takes its votaries 

 into the treasure-houses of Nature, and explains 

 some of the wonderful series of links which 

 form the great chain of creation. It lays open 

 before us another world, of which we have 

 been hitherto unconscious, and shows us that 

 the tiniest insect, so small perhaps that the 

 unaided eye can scarcely see it, has its work to 

 do in the world, and does it.
