	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.

	Just sniffin' around
		The first observation that animals communicate with chemicals was made by French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre in the 1870s, who noted that male moths flew from miles around to visit a female moth Fabre had caged in his lab.
		Fabre suspected that she was emitting an odor that was luring the fellas, but he couldn't prove it.
		Eventually, it was clear that Fabre was right -- a chemical was carrying the signal (The "come hither" message was not, as some assumed, carried as a radio signal sent to the insect's antennae).

		As Jean Véronis, the author of Technologies, notes in another post (“La mort des brouillons”), one casualty of the use of computers for writing is the brouillon or draft.
		For historians, drafts are an invaluable resource in understanding the process of composition, the use of sources, and (in the case of works edited by several authors) the role of collaboration (in the Waste Land, for example, which underwent heavy revisions at the suggestion of Pound).

		And I can but apologize if I have been too lavish with my notes to this chapter in particular, which introduces to us, as in a sort of litany, a multitude of the insects studied by the author.
		For the rest, I have continued my system of references to the earlier Fabre books, whether translated by myself or others.
