“Inexpensive glass bowls are a good choice in situations where breakage will not be a problem, as with children and indoor pets. Cat, especially, are inveterate naturalists and will certainly want to assist with any project involving bowls of water and small animals.”

It would, yes. In the book you will also find, here and there, some entomological etymology.
