Excerpt from American Insects If man were not the dominant animal in the world, this would be the Age of Insects. Outnumbering in kinds the members of all other groups of animals combined, and showing a wealth of individuals and a degree of prolificness excelled only by the fishes among larger animals, and among smaller animals by the Protozoa, the insects have an indisputable claim on the attention of students of natural history by sheer force of numbers. But their claim to our interest rests on securer ground. Their immediate and important relation to man as enemies of his crops, and, as we have come to know only to-day, as it were, as a grim menace to his own health and life - this capacity of insects to destroy annually hundreds of millions of dollars worth of grains and fruits and vegetables, and to be solely responsible for the dissemination of some of the most serious diseases that make man to suffer and die, forces our attention whether we will or not. Finally, the amazing variety and specialization of habit and appearance, the extraordinary adaptations and "shifts for a living" which insects show, make a claim on the attention of all who harbor the smallest trace of that "scientific curiosity" which leads men to observe and ponder the ways and seeming of Nature. Some of the most attractive and important problems which modern biological study is attacking, such as the significance of color and pattern, the reality of mechanism and automatism in the action and behavior of animals as contrasted with intelligent and discriminating performances, the statistical and experimental study of variation and heredity, and other subjects of present-day biological investigation, are finding their most available material and data among the insects. This book is written in the endeavor to foster an interest in insect biology on the part of students of natural history, of nature observers, and of general readers; it provides in a single volume a general systematic account of all the principal groups of insects as they occur in America, together with special accounts of the structure, physiology, development and metamorphoses, and of certain particularly interesting and important ecological relations of insects with the world around them. Systematic entomology, economic entomology, and what may be called the bionomics of insects are the special subjects of the matter and illustration of the book.

Excerpt from Insects Injurious to the Household and Annoying to Man Some one has remarked in a rather facetious vein that, from a zoological standpoint, the present age may be called the age of insects. On second thought, the remark holds more reason than might appear at first sight. We are especially impressed with the importance of the relation to man of these tiny, but multitudinous, forms of life when we recall that the species of insects outnumber the species of all other animals combined; that the insect pests in this country alone cause a loss of over a billion dollars annually; that several hundred trained men in the United States are giving their entire time to a study of these pests; and that thousands of letters are sent each year to our government agencies, requesting information regarding insects and means of fighting them. Until within the last few years the economic importance of insects has been attributed to their indirect injuries to man through attacks on the things that he produces. Suddenly, almost within the last decade, insects have assumed an entirely new and exceedingly important significance through knowledge of their direct injuries to man himself. Since the epoch-making discoveries were made that mosquitoes carry malaria and yellow fever, insects, especially those frequenting the household, have assumed a most unexpected importance. The hum of the mosquito and the buzz of the house-fly have become fraught with an entirely new significance.
