Extended information article introduction:
Entomology is a long biological work by Jean-Henri casimir Fables, a French entomologist and writer. It is an insect biology work that summarizes the species, characteristics, habits and mating habits of insects, records the real life of insects, expresses the spirituality of insects in struggle for existence, and also records the motivation, life ambition, knowledge background and living conditions of Fabers' obsession with insect research.
The author combines the colorful life of insects with his own life feelings, treats insects with a humane attitude, and reveals the author's respect and love for life between the lines.
Writing background:
When Fables was 3 1 year old, he got a doctorate in natural science. During this period, he successively created a series of biological works such as Plants and Uncle Paul's Talk on Pests.
1854, Fabres published his observation of arthropods in the French natural science yearbook. Three years later, he published the research results of Metamorphosis of Coleoptera, which left a deep impression on his peers for its excellent academic quality and great theoretical significance. 1879, he compiled the first volume of entomology for more than 20 years and finally came out.
1880, Fabres bought an old house with the money he saved. He used the local Provencal language to give the house a nickname-Waste Stone Garden. Year after year, Fables wore a farmer's woolen coat and dug and dug with a sharp pick and a flat shovel, thus an insect paradise was built. He wrote the fruits of his labor into volume after volume of Insects. Until 1907, the tenth volume of entomology came out.
