Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Log-Book: And Dictionary of the Life Histories and Food Plants of the British Macro-Lepidoptera, Giving Many Thousands of Facts and Data Connected With the Appearance of the Ova, Larvae, Pupae, and Imagines; Methods of Capture; Habitats; Food Plants; Authorities; Syn
The personal want of a suitable book in which to record fresh observations of the various stages in the life histories of the British macro-lepidoptera led to the compilation of the following pages. The task entered upon proved heavier than might have been expected, and took much research and time to bring into shape. While descriptions have been avoided, an endeavour has been made to provide active collectors with a work in which they will not only find the more salient points connected with the appearances, habits, etc., of Lepidoptera in their various stages recorded, but one that will furnish at the same time a simple medium for registering their own observations in alphabetical order, and so save them the trouble and worry of searching among old diaries and note-books for data they may be asked for or require themselves.
