What reading level is British Insects And How to Know Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

When hatched, the larvae eat the inner part of the mass, but eventually allow themselves to fall to the ground, where they pupate and pass the winter. Other " leaf-rolling weevils " are found upon trees and shrubs of various kinds Another family of the Rhynchophora viz. , Scolytidtz includes the so-called " bark-beetles. " These are distinguished by having the rostrum extremely short, while the antennae are also short, with a broad club. The females make tunnels between the bark and the wood of... trees, and lay their eggs therein. From this " mother gallery, " as it is called, the young grubs 1 Apion* 74 BRITISH INSECTS burrow outwards, and in this way curious and char- acteristic patterns are traced upon the surface of the wood. Each grub pupates at the end of its burrow, and the perfect insect eventually bores a hole through the bark in order to effect its escape. One of the commonest species is the elm-bark-beetle. 1 Another is the pine-bark-beetle, 2 which does much damage in its perfect state by burrowing into the young shoots of the Scots pine in order to feed, be it noted, since the eggs are laid beneath the bark in the manner described above.
