1912. J.H. Fabre, as some few people know, is the author of half a
score of well-filled volumes in which, under the title of Souvenirs
Entomologiques, he has set down the results of fifty years of
observations, study and experiment on the insects that seem to us
the best-known and the most familiar: different species of wasps
and wild bees, a few gnats, flies, beetles and caterpillars; in a
word, all those vague, unconscious, rudimentary and almost nameless
little lives which surround us on every side and which we
contemplate with eyes that are amused, but already thinking of
other things, when we open our window to welcome the first hours of
spring, or when we go into the gardens or the fields to bask in the
blue summer days. Contents: The Fable of the Cigale and the Ant;
The Cigale Leaves its Burrow; The Song of the Cigale; The Cigale,
The Eggs and Their Hatching; The Mantis. The Chase; The Mantis.
