What reading level is Report book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Saunders describes the habits of this species of beetle as follows : "The peculiar habits and instincts of this insect are very interesting. The parent beetle places an tgg in the axil of a leaf on a fresh green twig proceeding frorri a moderate sized limb.
When the young larva ha'tches, it burrows into the center of the twig, and down towards its base, consuming in its course the soft pulpy matter of which this part of the twig is composed. By the time it reaches the main limb, it has become s...ufficiently ma- tured to be able to feed upon the harder wood, and makes its way into the branch, when the hollow twig is vacated, grad- ually withers, and drops off. The larva, being now about half groiwn, ea!ts its way a short distance through the middle of the branch, and then proceeds deliberately to sever its connecticms with the tree by gnawing away the woody fiber to such an extent Aat the first storm of wind snaps the branch off. This is rather a delicate operation for the insect to perform, and requires wonderful instinctive skill, for should it gnaw away too much of the woody interior the branch might break during the pro- cess, an accident which would probably crush the workman to death ; but the insect rarely miscalculates ; it leaves the bark and just enough of the woody fiber untouched to sustain the branch until it has time to make good its rdreat into the burrow, the Digitized by VjOOQ IC 116 LONG HORNED BEETLES.
