Entomology

the study of insects. Packard states that insects comprise four-fifths by weight of the animal kingdom. 250,000 species of insects have been named and placed in museums. The total number is supposed to reach nearly 2,000,000. The study of insects is an important one, and has already saved the people of America many hundreds of millions of dollars. An excellent book for beginners is Comstock's Manual for the Study of Insects. See Insects
