INSECTS TO BE RECOGNIZED 



The pupils of the pubHc schools of New York State are expected 

 to be able to recognize four of the following insects: Grasshopper, 

 wasp, cricket, potato beetle, house fly, luna moth, dragon fly. Many 

 teachers doubtless carry this work farther than mere recognition of 

 the insects, since this line of work always has attraction and interest 

 for boys and girls. A simple insect cage can be made by using a flower 

 pot filled with grass over which is placed a lantern globe or lamp chimney. 

 Mosquitoe netting tied over the top of the chimney will prevent the 

 escape of the insects. Into this cage let the children put a grasshopper, 

 a cricket, a potato beetle or any other insects mentioned. Encourage 

 them to find out from books in the schoolroom or books you can 

 find in the library some facts about the insects. Above all encourage 

 them to make personal observations. Let them list these insects and 

 tell which are beneficial and which injurious
