About this book
More Minor Horrors is a book by A. E. Shipley. A chapter headed THE MOSQUITO carries the name Anopheles maculipennis in parentheses. The book reports that M. J. Perez has carefully gone into the question of the production of sound in the Diptera, and that he claims to have shown experimentally that the stigmata take no part in the production of sound. M. Jousset de Bellesme confirms the statement that both Dipterous and Hymenopterous insects emit two sounds.
A writer quoted from the Morning Post says that few of the smaller trench annoyances are more worrying than the plague of rats. The text says Grassi found that he could only keep Anopheles alive in his laboratory in Rome for a month. On Anopheles and Culex, the text says a diet of blood evidently assists the female to lay her eggs.
