Excerpt from Entomological News, 1937, Vol. 48 In the past two years, while studying soil populations, the question has often come to mind, What becomes of all of the millions of insects that live on the soil surface and what are their chances of preservation P Obviously, the answer is, They all die and disintegrate and the chances of preservation are very small.

Excerpt from Entomological News, Vol. 25: May, 1914 No doubt every butter y collector who ever papered a lot of desirable material on some extended collecting trip, has experienced more or less disappointment when, on spreading the specimens, those the condition of which; when taken, left nothing to be desired, have been found minus antennae, or legs, the wings rubbed, or the thorax and abdomen attened and distorted. The spreading of any papered specimens, too, is apt to prove more or less unsatisfactory, especially in those families having strong thoracic muscles, as the Hesperiidae, since when specimens have lain in papers though for a short time, the wings often show a tendency to revert to the posi tion held while in the papers, which cannot be entirely over come even though the insects are kept on the spreading boards for a considerable length of time. Also insects that have been once dried and then pinned do not become as firmly fixed on the pin as if pinned when fresh. During the past two summers I have employed a method of caring for my specimens, when on trips varying in length from a few days to two weeks, which proved so very satis factory that I feel it deserves description for the benefit of other collectors. In general terms it consists in pinning the specimens while still pliable, reducing the wings to a horizon tal position (in other words giving the insect a tentative spreading), and then partially relaxing them when they are to be transported homeward or from one place to another on the trip. Simple as the method is, its most effective applica tion requires that it be described in detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Entomological News, 1928, Vol. 39 In only one observed instance have the young spiders selected a building in order to reach a higher altitude. The nest was located near one of the university buildings, and on leaving the nest the spiders took a direct course toward a narrow part of the stone foundation. Between two windows. Arriving here they were apparently disappointed and took a course parallel to the wall of the building. After going a short distance they came to the wall of a projecting part, which must have added to already considerable confusion, so that instead of going to a tree quite near by here, they went up 011 the side of the building to a height of about eighteen feet, whence they sailed.
