" If we value diligence and indefatigable industry ; 

 judgment, prudence, and foresight ; economy and 

 frugality ; if we look upon modesty and diffidence 

 as female ornaments ; if we revere parental 

 affection — of all these, and many more virtues, 

 insects in their various instincts exhibit striking 

 examples."
