Excerpt from The Insect Book: A Popular Account of the Bees, Wasps, Ants, Grasshoppers, Flies, and Other North American Insects Exclusive of the Butterflies Moths and Beetles, With Full Life Histories, Tables and Bibliographies Something more is necessary, however, than life history study alone. One must know the relations of the creature he is studying and, moreover, he must know exactly what it is. Therefore synoptic tables of the larger groups have been given, and, in addition to this, full title references have been given to all works and papers which will assist in the determination of exact species in each of the larger groups. Ln this way an attempt has been made in the first place to foster the study of life histories, in the second place to write in popular style an account of these insects which will interest perhaps those who know little about insects and who wish to find out something about them in the easiest way, and, thirdly, to put those who have an earnest wish to go deeply into the study in possession of information which will enable them to follow their studies much further than this book or any other one book can take them.
