What reading level is The Life of the Weevil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The Sacred Beetle, in 172 The Vine-Weevil the early days of his final form, begins by hardening and colouring his implements of labour: the toothed arm-pieces and the clypeus with its semicircular notching. The Weevil likewise in the first place hardens and colours her drill. These industrious workers interest me with their preparations. Barely has the rest of the body set and crystallized before the tools of its future work acquire exceptional strength, which they owe to an early and long prot...racted temper- ing.
From the broken shells I also take nymphs and larvae. The latter apparently will not pass beyond the first stage this year. What is the use of hurrying? The larva, no less than the adult and perhaps more so, is given to slumbering through the severities of the winter. When the poplar unfurls its sticky buds and the Cricket on the greensward strikes up the first bars of his melody, they will be ready, one and all : the forward and backward alike; faithful to the call of spring, all will come forth from the ground, eager to climb the kindly tree and to renew the leaf-rollers' festival in the sunlight.
