What reading level is Common Beetles of the British Uplands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are only two other British species in this genus of Lochmcea, one found on willows and one on hawthorn, especially when in flower, and both of them, although similar in shape and size to suturalis, are much lighter in colour.
Then there is the weevil or Rhynchvphoron, which usually occurs with the Lochmcea. It is a Strophoso- mus, of which genus we have already taken one member, S. Coryli (Plate I. , Fig. 12) ; they are beetles with a short, broad rostrum, very projecting eyes, and a shor...t convex, almost spherical hind body. This heather species, called Strophosomus later alts (the bordered Strophosomus), Fig. 12, Plate V. , is slightly smaller, and of a rather longer oval than is coryli. It is of a shining black with a border round the sides of the elytra of pinkish silvery scales ; these light scales are also scattered over the sides of the thorax and the head. It is, however, only in comparatively fresh specimens that this light border can be really well seen, as in its journey through life these scales quickly get rubbed off, and then the whole beetle appears a shining black.
