Excerpt from The Young Collector's Handbook of Ants, Bees, Dragon-Flies, Earwigs, Crickets, and Flies: Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, DipteraBY the Linnean system insects are divided into seven great Natural Orders - namely, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, and Diptera.Of these, the Lepidoptera or Butter¿ies and Moths, and the Coleoptera or Beetles, have hitherto received the lion's share of attention, though this is less exclusively the case than it was some few years ago.Any one who wishes to commence the study of these two orders now will have to work very hard indeed before he can hope to put anything new on record concerning them. There is, how ever, a very wide field for research and discovery Open to all who will turn their attention to the other groups, and it is with the intention of encouraging the study of these Neglected Orders that we have written the present little handbook.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
