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 impressed his peers with 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 wool coat and dug around 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.

A brief introduction to the author of Insects;
Jean Henri Casimir Fabre Jean-Henri casimir Fabres (1823 ~ 19 15) died at the age of 92. He is a famous French entomologist, animal behaviorist and writer. Known by the world as "Homer in the insect world" and "Virgil in the insect world". Fables was born in a farmhouse in Saint Leon, Provence, southern France. In the following years, Fables spent time with his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by lovely insects such as butterflies and fireflies in the country.
1857, he published "Observation on the Habit of Ophiuchus argus", which corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, thus winning the praise of French research institute and being awarded the experimental physiology prize. During this period, Fabers also devoted himself to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' trousers came from madder powder.
From 65438 to 0859, Fabres obtained three patents for this kind of research. Later, at the invitation of Victor Durui, Minister of Education, fabrice 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 in Orange with his family for more than ten years. In this decade, Fabres completed the first volume of ten volumes of Insects. During this period, he and his friends went to Wandu several times to collect plant specimens.
In addition, he also got to know the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, which made their previous plan "Vascruz Vegetation Grand View" die. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fables: Jules, the only son of his six children who shared the same interests with his father and loved observing nature, died at the age of sixteen. Since then, Fables has dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules who died young to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fables' hobbies.
