Undated autobiography written by Bulloch County, Georgia, entomologist John Abbot (1751-1840) describing his early life in England, how his interest in collecting and drawing insects developed, and his emigration from England to Virginiain 1773. He writes about his memories of capturing and pinning a Libella (libellula, or small red damselfly), meeting entomologist and Linnean Society president Dru Drury (1724-1803) in London, developing his collection, including the acquisition of a Purple Emperor (Apaturairis), and books that influenced him, such as Mark Catesby's The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands.
