Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Love of the Insect
Notwithstanding their filthy trade, the Dung-beetles occupy a very respectable rank. Thanks to their usually imposing size to their severe and irreproachably glossy garb to their short, stout, thickset shape to the quaint ornamentation either of their brow or, also, of their thorax, they cut an excellent figure in the collector's boxes, especially when to our own species, oftenest of an ebon black, we add a few tropical species ?ashing with gleams of gold and ruddy copper.

Excerpt from The Life and Love of the Insect
The author of these essays was born at Sérignan, in Provence, in the year 1823, and was long in coming to his own. His birthday, indeed, is now celebrated annually (Henri Fabre is still alive) at both Sérignan and Orange; but, as Maurice Maeterlinck, writing of this "Insect's Homer ... whose brow should be girt with a double and radiant crown," says:
"Fame is often forgetful, negligent, behindhand or unjust; and the crowd is almost ignorant of the name of J. H. Fabre, who is one of the most profound and inventive scholars and also one of the purest writers and, I was going to add, one of the finest poets of the century that is just past."
Fabre's Souvenirs Entomologigues form ten volumes, containing two to three hundred essays in all.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book showcases the astonishing qualities of the Sacred Beetle, an insect that has captivated naturalists for centuries, especially the author and renowned entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre. The author dissects the insect's unique nesting and reproductive behaviors, comparing them to those of other species to highlight the fascinating evolution of the Sacred Beetle. Detailed descriptions of the construction of the elaborate pear-shaped nests and precise analysis of the optimal storage conditions for the eggs and grubs reveal an incredible level of maternal care and foresight. Moreover, the author's observations of the beetles' struggles against the elements and predators illustrate the harsh realities of their existence and the strength of their instinct to survive. Through these detailed observations, the author invites us to marvel at the complexity of nature and the resilience of life, even in its smallest forms.
