Excerpt from Our Insect Friends and Foes
A boy of eleven once asked me, in the midst of a schoolroom talk on the uses of participles, where a grasshoppers ears were. By what circuit he had travelled from participles to grasshoppers I do not know, but he had been so absorbed in his own thoughts that he met with a sort of dazed indignation the irrepressible titter that ran round the class. I did not wonder that he found grasshoppers more interesting than participles, - I do myself, - and so, I am sure, do the young people for whom, most of all, this book has been written.
