To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Like many insects that derive their nourishment by, as it were, embedding their mouths in the plant on which they live and sucking its juices, these insects secrete a sugary liquid, known as honeydew, which forms the nutritive medium of a sooty mould. The fungus growth does more damage to the plants than the insects themselves, per- vading, as it does, not only the leaves but the branches and even the fruit itself. Seeing that more than forty- five per cent, of the citrus groves in Florida are ...infested with white fly, estimated to cause a loss of from forty-five to fifty per cent, of the value of an orange crop, it is hardly surprising that scientists called to mind the success of the little Australian beetle against the cottony cushion scale and turned their attention to hunting for another benefactor to come to the rescue of their orange crops. In 1910 the American Congress made a special grant towards a world-wide search for the native home of the citrus white fly and the collection of its natural enemies, 314 INSECTS AND MAN if any were found.
