Henri fabre (1823— 19 15) is a famous French scientist and popular science writer. Born in a peasant family, he lived in extreme poverty since childhood, worked as a middle school teacher, and taught himself after 12 years. He has successively obtained bachelor's degree, double bachelor's degree and doctor's degree, and worked hard in middle school for more than 20 years. At the same time, he observed and studied insects and plants in his spare time and published excellent papers, which were affirmed by Darwin and rewarded by the Imperial Ministry of Education. However, his dream of "boarding the university platform" has never been realized, and his desire to open an independent entomology laboratory has never been realized. He was penniless in the first half of his life and barely had enough food and clothing in the second half, but Fabres did not give in to prejudice and poverty. He is still diligent in self-study, constantly expanding his knowledge reserve, carefully setting the research direction, persistently observing experiments, constantly achieving new results, and countering "prejudice" again and again. He taught students new knowledge of natural science, but also offended many biological colleagues who explained instinct with physiological functions. He is not afraid of being accused of being inconsistent with the cell theory and evolution theory in "/kloc-three great discoveries of natural science in the 9th century", and almost forgets everything. Fabres's greatest interest in his life is to explore the true face of the life world and discover the scientific truth contained in nature. It is precisely because he loves the truth that when writing Insects, he always "accurately describes the observed facts, neither adding anything nor ignoring anything". Fabres devoted himself to revealing and grasping the great cause of "truth-truth". This became the highest ideal and lofty labor of his life, and he felt happy and comforted for it. In this spirit, he gathered all his qualities and talents and made his own unique contribution to mankind.

Fables was the first scientist to study insects in the natural environment. He devoted his whole life to the insect world, observed and experimented with insects in the natural environment, and truly recorded the instinct and habits of insects, thus writing the great work of entomology, Insect Tale. Fabres's heart is full of love for life and praise for all things in nature. He observed the nature of insects with human nature, and the instinct, habit, labor, marriage, reproduction and death of insects were all permeated with humanistic care. Looking back at social life with the nature of insects, wise philosophical thinking comes to the fore. In his simple pen, a serious academic work, such as beautiful prose, can not only make people gain knowledge and ideas from it, but reading itself is a unique aesthetic process.

Entomology is not only immersed in awe of life, but also contains some spirit. That spirit is seeking truth, that is, pursuing truth and exploring truth. This is Faber's spirit. Without this spirit, there would be no entomology, and the tree of human spirit would lack a fruit of wisdom.

The Insect Story written by Fabres is famous all over the world. This masterpiece occupies a place in the history of French natural science and literature. This masterpiece expresses the wonderful and amazing spirituality of insects in struggle for existence. 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 of races for survival and reproduction, and guided the vast amount of evidence of natural science with humanistic spirit, making the insect world a literary form for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts, and writing the topic of small insects into a masterpiece with multi-level significance and all-round value. Such a work is really unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such 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 volumes of Insect Tales, which won him many readers not only in France, but also in European countries and all over the world. Literature respectfully called him "Virgil of the insect world", and French academic and literary circles recommended Fabres as a candidate for 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.

The Tale of Insects is a book written by Fabres. He spent his whole life observing the life of insects and their struggle for survival and reproduction, and then recorded his observations in detail and accurately. Insects has ten volumes, each volume contains several chapters, and each chapter describes the life of one or more insects in detail and profoundly: spiders, bees, mantis, scorpions, cicadas, beetles, crickets and so on.
