Jean Henri Fabre's BOOK OF INSECTS

"The making of a home is a serious problem."

I HEAR THAT, FABRE!

More gripping sentences from this crazy book:

"They are, I am convinced, completely ignorant of their own wonderful talents." "This is how things happen." "The mouth of the cells is, of course, always turned upwards. A pot cannot hold its contents if it be upside down."

Oh and one chapter is called "SELF-DENIAL OF THE SPANISH COPRIS." Another is called "TWO STRANGE GRASSHOPPERS."

AND and and (I can't stop getting excited to share this book with you), one of the illustrations is titled "Sometimes the Scarab seems to enter into partnership with a friend."
