Entomology is not only immersed in awe of life, but also contains some spirit. That kind of spirit is seeking truth, that is, pursuing the truth and exploring the truth. This is the spirit of Faber. If there is no such spirit, there will be no Entomology, and a fruit of wisdom will be missing from the tree of human spirit.
Fabres's Insect Tale, which is famous all over the world, has its place in the history of French natural science and literature. This masterpiece expresses the wonderful and amazing spirituality of insects in their struggle for survival. Fabres recorded his achievements and experiences in insect research all his life in the form of most essays, carefully observed the life of insects and the struggle for life and reproduction of races, guided the vast evidence of natural science with humanistic spirit, and made the insect world a literary form for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts, and wrote the topic of small insects into a masterpiece with multi-level meaning and all-round value. Such works are truly unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such a brilliant literary expression ability, and no writer has such profound entomological attainments. The author of Entomology was praised as "the founder of animal psychology" by French and international academic circles at that time. In his later years, Fabres published the last few volumes of Insect Tale, which won him many readers not only in France, but also in European countries and all over the world. Literature then respectfully called him "Virgil of the insect world", and French academic and literary circles recommended Fabres as the candidate of Nobel Prize in Literature. Unfortunately, before the Nobel Committee made up its mind to award him this grand prize, the great poet who praised insects had died in his eyes.
Entomology has been translated into many languages and published. He is known as the "Insect Poet", and a large number of his works have been translated and published in China.
Entomology is a book written by Fabres, who spent his whole life observing the life of insects and their struggle for life and reproduction, and then recording his observations in detailed and exact notes. Ten volumes of Insects, each containing several chapters, each chapter describes the life of one or several insects in detail and profoundly: spiders, bees, mantis, scorpions and cicadas.

Jean-Henri casimir Fabres
On December 22nd, 1823, Jean-Henri casimir Fabres was born in the village of Saint-Rennes in Provence. In the following years, Fabres spent time in the home of his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by the lovely insects such as butterflies and slugs in the countryside. At the age of seven, Fabres returned to St. Rennes to start school, but that childhood has been deeply engraved in his heart. In 1833, the Fabres family came to rodez, and their father made a living by running a coffee shop. Four years later, the family moved to Toulouse. Fabres entered the seminary in Toulouse, but dropped out of school, went out to make a living, worked on the railway and sold lemons in the market. Later, he passed the selection examination of avignon Normal School, won a scholarship, and obtained a diploma from an institution of higher learning after three years of study. After graduation, Fabres, then 19 years old, began his teaching career in Cabentra, and the course he taught was the history of natural science. In 1849, he was appointed as a physics teacher in ajaccio, Corsica. The beautiful natural scenery and rich species on the island ignited his enthusiasm for studying plants and animals. Lequien, a botanist in avignon, taught him his knowledge. After that, he followed Mocan-Tang Tong to collect flowers and plants everywhere. This knowledgeable mentor laid a solid foundation for Fabres to become a naturalist and embark on the road of scientific research. In 1853, Fabres returned to the French mainland, was employed by a school in avignon, and moved his family into a simple house in Dyer Street in St. Dominique. In 1857, he published "Observations on the Habits of the Arthropoda", which corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, and thus won the praise of the French Institute and was awarded the Experimental Physiology Award. During this period, Fabres also devoted his energy to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' army trousers came from madder powder. In 186, Fabres obtained three patents for this kind of research. Later, at the invitation of Victor Duluy, Minister of Education, Fabres was in charge of the organization and teaching of an adult night school, but its free teaching method caused some people's dissatisfaction. So, he quit his job and settled down in Orange with his family, and lived there for more than ten years. In this more than ten years, Fabres completed the first volume of the ten-volume Insect. During this period, he went to Wandu Mountain with his friends many times to collect plant specimens. In addition, he also got to know the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, and their plan of "Vakruz Vegetation Grand View" died. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fabres: he had six children, among whom Jules, the only son who shared his father's interests and loved observing nature, died at the age of sixteen. Since then, Fabres has dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules who died young to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fabres's hobbies. In 1878, he wrote many wonderful academic articles on the theme of Vacruzzi's fungi. His research on Kuai Zi is also very detailed, and his fragrance is described in detail. Gourmets claim that they can taste all the flavors described in his works from the real Kuai Zi. In 1879, Fabres bought the barren stone garden in Ang, Cellini, and lived there until his death. This is a barren land, but it is a land that insects love. Apart from living for their families, there is also his study, studio and testing ground, which can make him concentrate on thinking quietly and devote himself wholeheartedly to various observations and experiments. It can be said that this is the world he has always dreamed of. It was here that Fabres, while observing and experimenting, sorted out the observation notes, experimental records and scientific notes on insects in the first half of his life, and completed the last nine volumes of Insects. Today, this former residence has become a museum, quietly located in a botanical garden with a strong Provencal style. Fabres insisted on self-study all his life, and successively obtained a bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree in mathematics, a bachelor's degree in natural science and a doctor's degree in natural science. He was proficient in Latin and Greek and loved the works of Horace, an ancient Roman writer, and Virgil, a poet. He was almost self-taught in painting and watercolor painting, and many exquisite illustrations of fungi left by him were praised by Nobel Prize in Literature winner and French poet Frederic mistral. In his later years, Fabres's success in Insects won him the reputation of "Homer of Insects" and "Poet of Science", and his achievements were widely recognized by the society.
