About this book
Jean-Henri Fabre watches wasps that provision their burrows with prey and tests, by experiment, what they know and how they find it. The first chapter is on Cerceris, a wasp that hunts Buprestis beetles. Before turning to it, Fabre tells how an essay by the entomologist Léon Dufour changed his view of science while he was a physics teacher on a small salary, and he quotes from that essay. Fabre was a French naturalist best known for patient observation of insect behaviour.
