164 INSECT OBSER VA TION, 



hope enough has been noted to prove that insect 

 observation has its keen delights. To a wearied 

 brain it is a quiet mode of refreshment which 

 will commend itself to all who give it a trial 

 on a summer day in some sheltered garden ; but 

 the observers must possess the requisite qualities, 

 namely, patience, gentleness, and a true love of 

 natural history.
