To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The best known is the sacred ball-rolling beetle (Ateuchus sacer), the Scarabceus of the ancients, which w^as so often represented by the ancient Egyptians on monuments and on gems. The ball that it forms is in the almost pantheistic mythology of Egypt compared with the matter of the world, which is also regarded as a ball. The principle of light and of the creative power of nature, the Chepera, whose symbol is the same beetle, and that too always in connection with the sun's disk, places in th...is world the germs of being and of light, as the beetle lays its eggs in its ball. The divinity Ptah, that is, the formative and quickening power, gives to these germs form, and produces the structure of the heavens and the earth. There are also beetles of very splendid appearance (Buprestis), sand- beetles (Cicindela), beetles that love putrefaction (Hister, Bermestes), and during the overflow numerous water-beetles.
The wasp-like or hymenopterous insects appear in fine large forms. The Egyptian bee is a mere variety of our own, and has also already been introduced into Europe.
