DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS, 



NECESSARY FOR 



COLLECTING AND PRESERVING 

 INSECTS. 



" The collector when he makes an excursio'^ 

 should have three principal objects in view, for 

 which he ought to be duly prepared. The first 

 s to find insects, the next is to catch them, and 

 the last, when taken, to bring them safe home. 

 In exploring their haunts, he must also recollect 

 that some will be reposing ; others feeding -, 

 others walking or running ; others JIij in g ; others 

 swimming; others lurking in various places of 

 concealment, and in different states of existence.''
