The creative process of Insects:

Fabres received a doctorate in natural science at the age of 31. During this time, he has successively created a series of biological works such as Plants and Uncle Paul's Talk on Pests. In 1854, Fabres published his "Observations on the Arthropoda" in the French Yearbook of Natural Science. Three years later, he published his research results on the metamorphosis of Coleoptera, which impressed his peers with its fine academic quality and great theoretical significance. In 1879, the first volume of Entomology, which he compiled for more than 2 years, finally came out.

in p>188, Fabres bought an old house with the money he had saved, and he used the local Provencal language to give this house an nickname-Waste Stone Garden. Year after year, Fabres wore a farmer's woolen coat, with a sharp pick and a flat shovel to dig and dig, and a paradise of insects was built. He wrote the fruits of his labor into volume after volume of Insects. It was not until 197 that the tenth volume of Insects came out.
