What reading level is American Insects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(After Howard and Marlatt; much enlarged.) Fig. 362. — Black carpet-beetle, Attagenus piceits, larva and adult. (After Howard and Marlatt; enlarged.) hold and museum: they feed industriously on dried insect specimens, stuffed birds and mammals, woolen carpets, furs, feathers, or on meat and cheese (depending on the particular habits of the various species) until full- grown. Then they crawl into a crack or hide in the body of a museum specimen and pupate within the larval cuticle, which serves ...as a sort of thin hairy protecting shell.
The usual museum pests are two species, A. varius and A. museorum, of the genus Anthrenus. The adult beetles are tiny, broadly oval, very convex, with the black body covered above with scales some of which are yellowish 264 Beetles and some whitish and so arranged as to give the back an irregularly spotted appearance. The hairy larvae burrow into the specimens and nibble away at the dry bodies. Their presence may be detected by a little pile of dust under the pinned-up specimen and by the falling off of its legs, head, etc.
