The Life of the Fly: With Which Are Interspersed Some, Chapters of Autobiography (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from The Life of the Fly: With Which Are Interspersed Some, Chapters of Autobiography

The present volume contains all the essays on Flies, or Diptera, from the Souvenirs entomologiques, to which I have added, in order to make the dimensions uniform with those of the other volumes of the series, the purely autobiographical essays comprised in the Souvenirs. These essays, though they have no bearing upon the life of the Fly, are among the most interesting that Henri Fabre has written and will, I am persuaded, make a special appeal to the reader. The chapter entitled The Caddis-worm has been included as following directly upon The Pond.
