This may be an advertisement of butterfly beauty, intended to draw the attention of painted ladies of the opposite sex--the name painted lady includes both the male and female--as the peewit exhibition of the pairing season is believed to be. That the rage and rivalry of love are as fierce in the butterfly life as in the bird, no one doubts who has watched the battling of the fiery little coppers and the common blues in the meadow grasses; Iris, the emperor butterfly, no more bears with a rival, among birds, than does the ruff". Butterfly travel has not the system and regularity of bird travel, but there are curious and wonderful features about it. Great insect rushes have often been noticed. Painted ladies have been seen crossing a country in a great host, all flying with fixity of aim in one direction. It must have been by some movement of the kind that the woods and gardens were peopled by these butterflies in 1903. Travels on this scale cannot be aimless. The butterfly itself--the imago--unless it should hibernate,1 scarcely needs food: so that it is not failure in the butterfly harvest that forces the insect to set out on long travels: can it foresee some future failure in the caterpillar harvest? The gamma moth will cross the North Sea in vast swarms. The great, patient Gatke saw these rushes of the gamma, and of one of the usher moths, as well as of the scarce swallowtail butterfly (podilarius'), from his observatory in Heligoland. Birds and insects often travel together--it is like the lion lying with the lamb. It is clear from what Gatke says that this day-flying gamma moves, in these bird and insect rushes, by night.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
