What reading level is A Naturalist in Himalaya book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


These two moths, the Gftopkus and the Boaruiia, cannot but arouse interest in the principles of pro- tective coloration, so perfectly adapted is each to the nature of its haunts, the one to the cliffs, the other to the trees, and each keeps so exclusively to its own respective habitat.
Another little point of interest was that the different species of Boarmia did not necessarily seek protection in the same haunts. For instance, B oar 7nia granit aria was a smaller and greyish-coloured species,
...and it used to rest by day not upon the trees but on the slabs of limestone, with which it harmonized very well. Like the other species, it flies by night and often comes about a lamp. The colouring of its under surface is a little conspicuous, but this is of no disadvantage since it rests with wings outstretched and pressed firmly against the stone.
BUTTERFLIES, MOTHS AND CICADAS 205 Another of these protectively-coloured moths was Gnophus variegata, a much smaller and lighter-coloured species mottled with a yellowish or pinkish tinge which harmonized fairly well with the hue of the mountain limestone.
