INSECTS.

Insects are very interesting animals to collect, or to watch, or to photograph.

Also for a scout who fishes, or studies birds, or reptiles, it is most important that he should know a certain amount about the insects which are their favourite food at different times of the year or different hours of the day.

The usual insects about which a scout ought to know something, are:

Moths.

Gnats.

Beetles.

Grasshoppers.

Ants.

Spiders.
