Book Description
Excerpt from Nature's Calendar: A Guide and Record for Outdoor Observations in Natural History Observation is at the basis of all scientific work, and is itself both a Science and an Art, although, after all, it is nothing more mysterious than the faculty of keeping open at the same time both the eyes and the mind. This little book docs not pretend to teach it-perhaps no book can do that. It does attempt, however, to save you valuable hours and fleeting opportunities by reminding you from time to time throughout the circle of the year what is doing then in the living world, by giving you a memorandum of some things for which you ought at that moment to be on the lookout, lest their brief period pass before you learn or remember that this is their appointed season.

Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...are of the precise green of the leaves whose juices they suck; others are gray or brown, mimicking the bark and twigs upon which they crawl. Many, it is true, are of bright hues--yellow, red, or redbrown, black and white, or striped, barred and spotted with strong colors, foretelling the brilliant ornamentation of the winged adults to follow. Such are almost always guarded by their ugly knobbed or horned appearance, or by an armature of barbed prickles, or a covering of stiff hairs, or by special organs of defence. The caterpillars of the swallowtailed butterflies, for instance, are provided with a sort of double-barrelled gun which may be pushed out from behind the head, and it w: ll discharge an odor disgusting to insect-eating creatures. Most caterpillars "resist arrest" by hurling their heads from side to side, or by causing their barbed and acrid spines or hairs to prick and annoy their enemies; these are usuJune.12 ally distinctly colored, and may thus be easily recognized and avoided. Many birds will not touch such caterpillars, while some, like the cuckoos, will seize the most hairy ones as quickly as any other, but beat them into a pulp before swallowing them. When one remembers that most of these caterpillars, grubs, and other insect larvae are destructive to plants, and that those which attack cultivated plants and trees are given a chance to multiply just as fast as we cultivate their customary foods, one can see how important it is to protect and encourage the birds that are almost our only means of keeping the insect hosts within bounds.
