Extract

“Of all the painted populace that live in fields and live ambrosial lives,” there is scarcely a family better known than those which compose the last of all the tribes Hard-shells, the Coccinellidæ. To the young and to the old, to the illiterate and to the scientist, they are equally familiar and equally interesting. Popular sympathy is extended towards them by the elders because they do much good in preventing the excessive multiplication of Aphides; by the juveniles because they are very pretty.
