THE INSECT HUNTER’S C OMPANION. 
By the Rev. Joseph Greene, M. A. 
A second large Edition of the ‘ Insect Hunters ’ is now rapidly selling 
and, from the number of letters I receive, I am ready to conclude that every 
purchaser writes to ask me some questions about catching, or killing, or pre- 
serving insects, or whether there is not some work describing the various pro- 
cesses. The following questions have been asked me times out of number : — 
Where to find moths and butterflies ; how to catch them ; how to bring them 
home without injury ; how to kill them ; how to set them ; how to find the 
caterpillars ; how to manage them ; how to feed them ; how to breed the per- 
fect insect ; where to find chrysalises ; what to do with them ; how to keep 
mites and mould out of cabinets; how to cure grease ; how to relax insects 
when they have become stiff ; how to arrange them in cabinets ; what wood 
to use for cabinets ; and a hundred similar questions. Replying to these 
questions has taken up more time than I can possibly afford, and there has 
hitherto been no cheap handy-book that will at all meet the case. To supply 
this want Mr. Greene, has written this little book with the desire to impart to 
the juvenile student the knowledge and the experience he has been so many 
years assiduously and patiently acquiring. He incurs no risk by the publica- 
tion : he receives no gratuity for copyright, no recompense whatever for 
his labour : with him it is truly a labour of love. — Edward Newman ,

Will Shortly be published in monthly parts, Demy 8vo. a new Work on the 
BRITISH 
ILLUSTRATED BY 
PHOTOGRAPHS FROM NATURE. 
Each part with three Plates containing from 1 to 8 figures and 16 pages 
of Letter-press. It is anticipated that by this entirely new method of illus- 
tration, a more correct figure of each insect will be obtained, than has yet been 
produced, and will be offered to the public at a very cheap rate.
