You would naturally expect that entomologists have turned this wonderful power to account.
It is this circumstance which makes the species preeminently suitable as a subject for the study of climatic influences, and I trust that entomologists with the right opportunities may be disposed to explore the facts further.

English name of which is the Streaked Dart, is larger than the type, and the wings, consequently, are broader; by some entomologists it is considered to be a distinct species.
Probably in reference to the grey-brown oval blotch on the middle of the white fore wings, this moth was known to the olderentomologists by the English name of "Goose-egg.
Some entomologists maintain that this is probably only a small form of L.
Barrett suggests that this gave rise to the English name it now bears, and by which it was known to Haworth and entomologists of his time.
Many British entomologists are now interested in the lepidopterous insects of the Palaearctic, or at least the European, fauna, of which our islands furnish but a relatively small number of species.

At one time entomologists regarded fleas as wingless flies and placed them in the order Diptera.
The position which should be assigned to the order Siphonaptera in the general scheme of insect classification is a question on which the most learned modern entomologists have disputed with considerable vigour.
Then Kraepelin rejected the view that flies were as closely related to fleas as most entomologists thought and his followers could only find points of difference and no points of resemblance.
In this hope entomologists have, to a great extent, been disappointed.
Entomologists believe that the power of vision of ocelli is probably confined to very near objects and that this simple form of eye is more useful in dark places than the compound eyes.
In reply, many correspondents wrote to say they hibernated, and one man was even so temerarious as to quote to us Entomologists the exact Latin name of the Housefly: viz.
Entomologists as to how the Housefly passed the winter.
It is generally the belief of entomologists that the death of the insect is caused by the fungus.
In collecting moulds, we have found it an excellent plan to go out provided with small wooden boxes, corked at top and bottom, such as entomologists use, and some common pins.
Hence the lower surface generally affords to entomologists the most useful character for detecting the affinities of the various species.
The insect which makes the nest which is represented in the illustration is a native of Brazil, and is known to entomologists as Synaeca cyanea.
All entomologists are familiar with the pretty little wasp-beetle (Clytus arietis), which derives its popular name from the wasp-like colours of its body.

It is by no means clear that the Oestrus of modern entomologists is synonymous with the insects which the Greeks distinguish by that name.
But where are the entomologists that in fact pursue this course?
If not, I shall only desire you to recollect that, for a mere personal indulgence, you cause the death of an infinitely greater number of animals, than all the entomologists in the world destroy for the promotion of science.
The majority of galls are what entomologists have denominated monothalamous, or consisting of only one chamber or cell; but some are polythalamous, or consisting of several.
I will therefore only give a short account of those which I have used myself, and have found so convenient that I do not hesitate in recommending them to those entomologists who wish not only to rear insects but to study their habits.
For this reason every effort has been made to avoid all unnecessary technicalities, and to adapt the book as far as possible to the requirements of youthful entomologists and collectors.
This method has been followed with great success by many English entomologists in the fens, but has not yet been tried in the New Zealand swamps, where it would probably be the means of bringing many new and interesting species to "light.

Naturalists have paid great attention to these latter insects, as much on account of their mode of life as of the difficulties which they have suggested to entomologists in the appreciation of their natural affinities.
There must be many free animal messmates among insects, and entomologists should make them known; for example, many of them live with ants, as the Pselaphidae and Staphylinidae.
This has induced many entomologists to place them in the same order as grasshoppers, that of Orthoptera.

A most valuable method of research is thus opened up, and entomologists should not be long in availing themselves of it.
The latter belongs to the family of the "whites," and entomologists consider that in all probability its ancestral garb was white with a little black like the closely allied species D.
