Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Spider, the Life of the Fly, the Mason-Bess: Bramble-Bess and Others, the Hunting Wasps, the Life of the Caterpillar, the Life of the Grasshopper, the Sacred Beetle and Other, the Mason-Wasps E. Pomiformis is much more common and is comparatively indifferent to the nature Of the foundation on which she constructs her cell. She builds on walls, on isolated stones, on the inner wooden surface Of half-closed shutters; or else she adopts an aerial base, the slender twig of a shrub, the withered sprig of a plant Of some sort. Any form Of support serves her purpose. Nor does she trouble about Shelter. Less chilly than her African cousin, she does not shun the un protected spaces exposed to every wind that blows.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Spider, the Life of the Fly, the Mason-Bess: Bramble-Bess and Others, the Hunting Wasps, the Life of the Caterpillar, the Life of the Grasshopper, the Sacred Beetle and Other, the Mason-Wasps This is the second volume on Wasps in the Collected Edition of Fabre's Souvenirs entomologiques. The first of these was The Hunting Wasps; and the present volume is somewhat wilfully entitled, for all Wasps hunt in varying degrees, if not on their own behalf, at least on that of their young. My object, however, was to bring together all the essays treating of those Wasps who actually build homes or nests, as distinct from burrows. The last book on Wasps will be called More Hunting Wasps and will be issued towards the end of the series. For reasons which will be easily apparent to the reader, I have reprinted the chapter called Instinct and Discernment, which was included in Bramble-bees and Others, and that on the Volucella, which, under the title of The Bumble-bee Fly, formed part of The Life of the Fly.

Book excerpt: Jean-Henri Fabre (1823 - 1915) was a French entomologist and author. He was a popular teacher, physicist, chemist and botanist. Fabre is probably best known for his findings in entomology for which he is considered to be the father of modern entomology. Fabre was an excellent teacher and his writing about the insects he loved in a biographical form made his works very entertaining to read.

The Table of Contents includes The harmas, The anthrax, Another prober (perforator), Larval dimorphism, Heredity, My schooling, The pond, The caddis worm, The greenbottles, The gray flesh flies, The bumblebee fly, Mathematical memories: Newton's binomial theorem, Mathematical memories: my little table, The bluebottle: the laying, The bluebottle: the grub, A parasite of the maggot, Recollections of childhood, Insects and mushrooms, A memorable lesson, and Industrial chemistry.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV LARVAL DIMORPHISM T F the reader has paid any attention to the story of the Anthrax, he must have perceived that my narrative is incomplete. The Fox in the fable saw how the Lion's visitors entered his den, but did not see how they went out. With us, it is the converse: we know the way out of the Mason-bee's fortress, but we do not know the way in. To leave the cell of which he has eaten the owner, the Anthrax becomes a perforating-machine, a living tool from which our own industry might take a hint if it required new drills for boring rocks. When the exit-tunnel is opened, this tool splits like a pod bursting in the sun; and from the stout framework there escapes a dainty Fly, a velvety flake, a soft fluff that astounds us by its contrast with the roughness of the depths whence it ascends. On this point, we know pretty well what there is to know. There remains the entrance into the cell, a puzzle that has kept me on the alert for a quarter of a century. To begin with, it is evident that the mother cannot lodge her egg in the cell of the Masonbee, which has been long closed and barricaded with a cement wall by the time that the Anthrax makes her appearance. To penetrate it, she would have to become an excavating-tool once more and resume the cast-off rags which she left behind in the exit-window; she would have to retrace her steps, to be reborn a pupa; and life knows none of these retrogressions. The full-grown insect, if endowed with claws, mandibles and plenty of perseverance, might at a pinch force the mortar casket; but the Fly is not so endowed. Her slender legs would be strained and deformed by merely sweeping away a little dust; her mouth is a sucker for gathering the sugary exudations of the flowers and not the solid...

Book excerpt: Fabre was an entomologist, but he was more than that; he was a great writer and was able to describe the subjects of his observations in such a way that they almost became persons for whom you could and should show respect and admiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Spider Indeed, there is no question here of the human imagination. The insect does not be long to our world. The other animals, the plants even, notwithstanding their dumb life and the great secrets which they cherish, do not seem wholly foreign to us. In spite of all, we feel a certain earthly brotherhood in them. They often surprise and amaze our intelligence, but do not utterly upset it. There is something, on the other hand, about the insect that does not seem to belong to the habits, the ethics, the psychology of our globe. One would be inclined to say that the insect comes from another planet, more mon strous, more energetic, more insane, more atrocious, more infernal than our own. One would think that it was born of some comet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt: ...lying flat on the ceiling of her nest, the mother never leaves her guard-room, either by night or day. Seeing her look so thin and wrinkled, I imagine that I can please her by bringing her a provision of Bees, as I was wont to do. I have misjudged her needs. The Bee, hitherto her favourite dish, tempts her no longer. In vain does the prey buzz close by, an easy capture within the cage: the watcher does not shift from her post, takes no notice of the windfall. She lives exclusively upon maternal devotion, a commendable but unsubstantial fare. And so I see her pining away from day to day, becoming more and more wrinkled. What is the withered thing waiting for, before expiring? She is waiting for her children to emerge; the dying creature is still of use to them. When the Banded Epeira

Book excerpt: The Spider has a bad name: to most of us, she represents an odious, noxious animal, which every one hastens to crush under foot. Against this summary verdict the observer sets the beast's industry, its talent as a weaver, its wiliness in the chase, its tragic nuptials and other characteristics of great interest. Yes, the Spider is well worth studying, apart from any scientific reasons; but she is said to be poisonous and that is her crime and the primary cause of the repugnance wherewith she inspires us. Poisonous, I agree, if by that we understand that the animal is armed with two fangs which cause the immediate death of the little victims which it catches; but there is a wide difference between killing a Midge and harming a man. However immediate in its effects upon the insect entangled in the fatal web, the Spider's poison is not serious for us and causes less inconvenience than a Gnat-bite. That, at least, is what we can safely say as regards the great majority of the Spiders of our regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you believe that angels are sent to intervene in the lives of humans? What about a spider that has a fly as a best friend. Gilbert the spider is a story about humans and insects that lose sight of their purpose. The whole balance of nature is dependent upon spiders being spiders and flies being flies. The humans are caught in a web of confusion, entangled in selfishness and self-centeredness. It takes a fly to befriend a spider and an angel to intervene in the lives of the humans to set things in order. Gilbert the spider along with Judas Robinson's worlds will become paralleled in this story about redemption and faith. It will not be easy, but somehow Gadson the fly and Gabriel the angel must convince them that their lives are more important than the poison that they are putting into their bodies.
