| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1869. An important early natural history title. The book contains many life size illustrations from nature of each species, including the more striking varieties. Each insect and its caterpillar is described in detail together with dates of appearance and localities where found. This book will appeal greatly to all with an interest in entomology with its descriptions of some of the rarer and possibly now extinct varieties. Many of the earliest natural history books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
