Thuis has all the fun of the chase and for those who cannot be bothered to breed specimens it saves a great deal of time and trouble. It is, in fact, the only way a great many insects may be obtained since even in England there are countless insect about which very little is known, and although some can be caught with comparative ease, their life cycle has not yet been worked out and the cannot be obtained by breeding."
