In his harmas in Provence, Jean-Henri Fabre watches rose-chafers, Saprini, Dermestes and other carrion beetles, dung beetles and their relatives. He describes the father and mother beetles sharing the work of the burrow, shaping provisions for their young, and the clean-up crews that dispose of the dead.
Fabre at his most observant and wry, for young naturalists and lovers of nature writing. Download the free EPUB.
