The Natural History of Eristalis Tenax: Or The Drone-Fly is a book written by George Bowdler Buckton in 1895. It is a comprehensive study of the drone-fly, also known as Eristalis tenax, which is a common and widespread species of hoverfly found across Europe, North America, and Asia. The book provides a detailed description of the physical characteristics, behavior, and life cycle of the drone-fly, as well as its role in pollination and its interactions with other insects and animals. Buckton also explores the economic and medical importance of the drone-fly, including its use as a bioindicator and its potential as a source of medicinal compounds. The book is written in a scientific and technical style, with numerous illustrations and photographs to aid in the understanding of the subject matter. It is a valuable resource for entomologists, biologists, and anyone interested in the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
