Charles Darwin described Fabre as the' Homer of insects'. This book is a collection of essays that Fabre wrote detailing his observations of all kinds of insects in his homeland of France. Though the subject matter might sound dull to a non-scientist, Fabre manages to combine real observation with folk-lore, storytelling and culture in an immensely readable way.
