Jean Henri Fabre

Fabre, Jean Henri

Born Dec. 22, 1823, in Saint-Léons, Aveyron; died Oct. 11, 1915, in Sérignan, Vaucluse. French entomologist and writer.

Fabre, a teacher and author of a number of textbooks and popular scientific books on the natural sciences, was primarily interested in the study of the life and instincts of insects, especially Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Orthoptera, as well as spiders and scorpions. He was one of the founders of ethology. Particularly well known is his ten-volume work Souvenirs entomologiques (1879–1907), in which Fabre describes the results of many years of observation of the way of life of insects and other arthropods, such as spiders and scorpions. An opponent of the theory of evolution, he believed that biological species, with their characteristic instincts and habits, have remained unchanged from the moment of their creation.
