Excerpt from Directions for Collecting and Preserving Insects: Prepared for the Use of the Smithsonian Institution
Wollaston (entomologist's Annual, 1805) states that sandy districts, especially towards the coast, are at all times prefer able to clayey ones, but the intermediate soils, such as the loamy soil of swamps and marshes, are more productive. Near the sea, insects occur most abundantly beneath pebbles and other objects in grassy spots, or else at the roots of plants. In many places, especially in alpine tracts, as we have found on the summit of Mt. Washington and in Labrador, one has to lie down and look carefully among the short herbage and in the moss for Coleoptera.
