Extract

The literature on Orthoptera (sens. lat.) includes a number of cursory notes describing laboratory drinking in various species, but an extended discussion of this behaviour is not available. The author has spent the past seven years studying the feeding behaviour of Michigan Orthoptera, during which time he has also made observations and conducted experiments on intake of water. Findings with respect to the latter, although of a preliminary nature, are given in the following paper.
