	JEAN-HENRI FABRE
		Jean-Henri Fabre is well known for his popularization of insect natural history, especially in the ten volumes of Souvenirs Entomoligiques.
		Fabre was 84 when the last volume appeared, and soon afterward he was "discovered." He was elected to numerous scientific societies, provided a government pension, and even the President of France came to visit him.
		Gonzalo Halffter and Eric Matthews noted that the importance of Fabre's works cannot be overemphasized because, quite apart from their popularizing influence, he alone set up the standards of observational patience and accuracy that subsequent workers were then obligated to match.

		Then fate dealt a devastating blow to Jean-Henri Fabre with the death of his son Jules, at the age of 16, the only one of his six children to share his passion for the observation of nature.

		Fabré started his professional career as a primary teacher and was known for introducing students to natural history through outdoor field experiences.
		Fabré noted that time and patience were two of his greatest tools; we used this statement as a writing prompt where we asked the students what Fabré meant by that statement and what it teaches about observing science and nature.
		Among the descriptors the students noted were the vibrant colors Fabré used, including “maroon velvet with a necktie of white fur” and “beads of turquoise blue.” Fabré’s model encouraged our second-grade students to carefully observe insects and inspired them to search for words to effectively communicate their observations to others.

	Insect Behavior
		early a century ago, in his own backyard, the famous French naturalist J. Henri Fabre once witnessed a little drama in which the participants were a wasp, a bee, and a mantis (a mantis is pictured at the right).
		Well, Fabre found that if the sphecid wasp he was watching caught a honeybee swollen with flower nectar, the wasp never failed to squeeze the bee in a certain way to cause the bee to disgorge its syrup, and then the wasp would lick the bee's tongue dry before sealing it into its nest.
		Fabre's mantis ensnared the wasp in its saw-like front legs and immediately set about munching the wasp's belly.

	The Life of the Fly by J. Henri Fabre ~ TRANSLATOR'S NOTE
		These essays, though they have no bearing upon the life of the fly, are among the most interesting that Henri Fabre has written and will, I am persuaded, make a special appeal to the reader.
		I began to wonder whether I had gone too far in simplifying the terminology of the Fabre essays and in appending explanatory footnotes to the inevitable number of outlandish names of insects.
