Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823 - 1915) was a French entomologist and author. He is best known for his findings in the field of entomology, the study of insects, and is considered by many to be the father of modern entomology. Much of his enduring popularity is due to his marvelous teaching ability and his manner of writing about the lives of insects in biographical form, which he preferred to a clinically detached, journalistic mode of recording. In this book: The Life of the Spider The Wonders of Instinct The Life of the Fly The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles The Mason-bees More Hunting Wasps Bramble-bees and Others Translator: Alexander Teixeira De Mattos

Jean Henri Fabre, nineteenth-century French entomologist and author of the massive Souvenirs Entomoligies, has inspired perhaps more modern writer/naturalists than any other chronicler of the natural world. Edwin Way Teale's selection of the most compelling of Fabre's writing makes The Insect World of J. Henri Fabre the essential edition of the writer Darwin called "the incomparable observer."
