3. Modern writer Zhou Zuoren: Fabriel's book is about the life of insects, but we feel that it is more interesting and meaningful than watching those boring ** dramas after reading it. He did not do the work of dissection and classification (which is enough in ordinary entomology), but used the methods of observation and experimentation to record the life phenomena of insects, as well as the incredible wonder and ignorance of instincts and habits.

We have seen the fate of the same kind depicted in the ** drama, and we have been deeply impressed, and now we have seen these tragicomedies of the insect world, as if we had heard the news of distant relatives—indeed very distant relatives—and it was just as urgent and impressed, and it reminded us of all kinds of things. His narration is particularly literary and artistic, which makes him worthy of the epic name of insects.

4. The dramatist Rothdam criticized him and said, "This great scientist thinks like a philosopher, sees like an artist, and feels and writes like a writer", which can really be said to be the most accurate comment. Mertelink called him "the Homer of insects", which is also a very simple nickname. ("Fabril Insects") - Zhou Zuoren's article published in 1923).

5. Modern thinker and writer Lu Xun: His works have two shortcomings: one is to ridicule anatomists, and the other is to use human morality in the insect world.

But without anatomy, there can be no observation as precise as his, because the basis of observation is still anatomy; It is reasonable for agronomists to divide insects into beneficial insects and pests according to their interests and harms, but based on the morality and laws of human beings at that time, it is superfluous to classify insects as good insects or bad insects. Some serious scientists have a lot of criticism about Fabre, and it is not for nothing. But if we take precautions against these two points, then the ten volumes of his magnum opus, The Book of Insects, will still be a very interesting and useful book to read.
