Insect Hunter's Companion 



By the Kev. JOSEPH GREENE, M.A. 



FIFTH EDITION. 



Entirely revised, and extended, by A. B. FARN. 



The Chapter on Goleoptera by Edward Newman ; on Hymenoptera by 

 Frederick Smith ; on Breeding Gallflies by Edward A. Fitch. 



Instructions for Collecting and Preserving Butterflies, Moths, Beetles' 

 Bees, Flies, &c, in all their stages from the Egg to the perfect Insect. 



The Fourth Edition of this indispensable little ' Companion ' was issued 

 in 1892, and many additional facts and suggestions have been inserted in 

 this new edition. It is also strongly and neatly bound in cloth, and is of its 

 old handy pocket size. A further useful addition has been made in the blank 

 pages for notes at the end of the book. 



" Few books on entomology have done more to encourage the study and 

 collecting of butterflies and moths than this most useful little book. ... In every 

 way an excellent little book, and no young collector should be without it." — The 

 Field. 



" It is pleasant to welcome this ' old friend in a new dress.' The practical 

 little book of the late Mr. Greene, who, thirty years and more ago, was adding to 

 our knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Ireland, will still be useful to the young 

 entomologists of to-day But the work is before all an insect hunter's com- 

 panion, and the joys of the entomological chase, usually innocent, despite the 

 rapacity of many collectors, are still as fresh as they were thirty years ago. 

 Mr. Greene's directions for the capture of moths, caterpillars, and pupas are as 

 valuable as ever, and his anecdotes will not grow stale." — The Irish Naturalist.
