About this book
Insects are taken order by order in this popular account by Louis Figuier, with 579 illustrations. Naturalist P. Martin Duncan revised the new edition; his 1872 preface says he added a short notice of the Thysanoptera and information on the development of Stylops. The orders covered run from the wingless Aptera through flies, bugs, butterflies and moths, grasshoppers, ants and bees to the beetles. An introduction first explains an insect's body, with its head, thorax and abdomen, and its compound eyes: a dragon-fly's has 12,544 facets.
