Reaumur (Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur (1683-1757), inventor of
the Reaumur thermometer and author of "Memoires pour servir a
l'histoire naturelle des insectes." - Translator's Note.) devoted
one of his papers to the story of the Chalicodoma of the Walls,
whom he calls the Mason-bee. I propose to go on with the story, to
complete it and especially to consider it from a point of view
wholly neglected by that eminent observer. And, first of all, I am
tempted to tell how I made this Bee's acquaintance. It was when I
first began to teach, about 1843. I had left the normal school at
Vaucluse some months before, with my diploma and all the simple
enthusiasm of my eighteen years, and had been sent to Carpentras,
there to manage the primary school attached to the college.
Fabre had many scholarly achievements. He was a popular teacher,
physicist, chemist and botanist. However, he is probably best known
for his findings in the field of entomology, the study of insects,
and is considered by many to be the father of modern entomology.
Much of his enduring popularity is due to his marvelous teaching
ability and his manner of writing about the lives of insects in
biographical form.
