Studies in the Longevity of Insects

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The investigation of the effect of temperature upon insects discussed below was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor C. W. Woodworth of the Entomological Department of the University of California in the fall of 1911. The purpose of the original problem was to obtain data on the length of the imago stage of the different orders of insects without food and under different temperature conditions.
