Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 6 of 31
The following day the clouds were higher, and, skirting Loch Assynt by the Lochinver road until we reached the ruined castle, we turned towards the mountains, ascending the right hand bank of the Calda burn. A gleam of sunshine brought out a number of Lyccenu Icarus, nearly all the under-sides of which were very pale, and with relatively small spots; a form which, so far as my limited experience goes, is abundant in n.w. Ireland, as well as in n.w. Scotland, and difiers considerably from the usual southern type. A specimen that I collected near the same locality four years previously is beautifully streaked with bluish-black at the base of the hind-wings, and the usual spots very indistinct, almost obsolete. The same year, but a few miles nearer Lochinver, I found anonympka Typhon and Argynnis Aglaia in great abundance the females of the latter being very large and so richly coloured as to bear to this species almost the same relation that the var. Valezinu does to A. Papbiu. Beyond a few L. Caesium, and a solitary specimen of Eupz'thecia nanata that we kicked up in the wet heather, we found no more insects during ourlong climb into the mountains, cloud and occasional showers preventing anything flying.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to traditional methods of cleaning and restoring insect specimens. It summarizes the challenges of cleaning dirty and moldy insects, and the limitations of widely used methods. The author comprehensively explains, with examples, a novel non-aqueous relaxation technique for insects that does not require water vapor, which can damage the specimens. Compared to aqueous methods, this technique is more reliable and effective in removing different types of dirt, and is less likely to cause damage. This technique will appeal to individuals and institutions with collections of insect specimens that require professional treatment or maintenance.
