Likeness should be studied, first, in the case of things belonging to different genera, the formulae being 'A:B = C:D' (e.g. as knowledge stands to the object of knowledge, so is sensation related to the object of sensation), and 'As A is in B, so is C in D' (e.g. as sight is in the eye, so is reason in the soul, and as is a calm in the sea, so is windlessness in the air). Practice is more especially needed in regard to terms that are far apart; for in the case of the rest, we shall be more easily able to see in one glance the points of likeness. We should also look at things which belong to the same genus, to see if any identical attribute belongs to them all, e.g. to a man and a horse and a dog; for in so far as they have any identical attribute, in so far they are alike.

中国唯一全译插图本，跨越两个世纪的传世经典，献给所有敬畏生命、热爱生活的读者，它们捕猎、相爱、生儿育女，它们诈取、被杀、朝生夕死……昆虫的世界从不绝望，它们永远生机勃勃。卷九：圆网蛛的电线报，大自然向我们展示了狼蛛、圆网蛛和蝎子等昆虫为了生存不懈努力的画面，证明人类并不是孤立存在的，地球上的所有生命都在同一个紧密联系的系统之中，昆虫也是地球生物链上不可缺少的一环，昆虫的生命也应当得到尊重。昆虫吃东西是为了活下去，而我们人类中的一部分人，活着的目的只是为了吃东西。
