Synopsis
Excerpt from Brief Guide to the Commoner Butterflies of the Northern United States and Canada: Being an Introduction to a Knowledge of Their Life-Histories
To aid in these determinations, separate keys are appended for each of the three stages, caterpillar, chry salis, and butterfly, by which any insect included in the work may be tracked.
There is another advantage in this restriction of the work to the commoner butterflies, for these are better known in the various stages of their lives, and interest in them is thereby greatly enhanced. I should be loath indeed to treat of butterflies as if they were so many mere postage-stamps to be classified and arranged in a cabinet; and if, by adding to the mere descriptions of the different species in their various most obvious stages some of the curious facts concerning their periodicity, their habits of life, and their relations to the world around them, I may spread before the eyes of the young some of the attractions which lie at the Open door of Nature and induce some to wander into the by-ways for more eager personal search, I shall have gained my end.
