32 FEBRUARY. 



pseuduspretella and Endrosis fenestrella, while in 

 grains of barley the larva of Gelechia cerealella revels 

 in plenty, troubled by no fears of impending scarcity. 



Having now noticed the most prominent or most 

 necessary species for this month, the majority of which 

 are identical with those mentioned in the chapter on 

 January, I would now only remind the tyro of the 

 necessity of application, of not allowing jealousies or 

 heart-burnings to spring up between himself and other 

 " brethren of the net and pin," to raise a storm upon 

 the otherwise calm sea of Entomology j but to walk 

 humbly and teachably — ever willing to teach according 

 to his ability, and to receive instruction himself— that 

 instruction of which we all stand so much in need — 

 the knowledge of the transformations of the various 

 and beautiful members of the insect world, of those 

 beautiful atoms of God's creation, each in its appointed 

 sphere fulfilling the purpose for which it was created, 

 drawing forth our wonder, our admiration, and our 

 praise ; for " he who wondereth at nothing hath no 

 capabilities of bliss, but he that scrutinizeth trifles hath 

 a store of pleasure to his hand, and happy and wise 

 is the man to whose mind a trifle existeth not."
