Thirty-nine adventures in which the anatomy, behavior, and social life of insects are described.

Discusses the behavior of insects, how to collect them, and how to record their movements.

Excerpt from Insect Adventures Of Souvenirs Entomologiques from which these studies are taken, was a French school-teacher and scientist whose peculiar gift for the observation and description of insect life won for him the title of the insects' Homer. A distinguished English critic says of him, F abre is the wisest man, and the best read in the book of nature, of whom the centuries have left us any record. The fact that he was mainly self-taught, and that his life was an unending struggle with poverty and disappointment, increases our admiration for his wonderful achievements in natural science.
