Henri Fabre turns his meticulous and poetic gaze upon the world of beetles, presenting a series of vivid, intimate observations that transform the mundane into the extraordinary. With the patience of a naturalist and the prose of a storyteller, Fabre chronicles the remarkable behaviours of the luminous glow-worm and its fellow coleoptera, unravelling the mysteries of predation, courtship, and survival with breathtaking clarity and wonder.\n\nPart of the celebrated Works of J. H. Fabre series, this volume stands as a testament to Fabre's unparalleled ability to blend rigorous scientific inquiry with lyrical, accessible prose — a style that earned him the admiration of Charles Darwin himself. Translated into English by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos, Fabre's insights remain as startling and captivating as when first penned, inviting the reader into a miniature world that, once glimpsed, is impossible to forget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203395952859,"sku":"2026100009883-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/eb4e6845-2435-4619-9f95-f1e020d85dfc.png?v=1788148579","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009883-secondhand-the-glow-worm-and-other-beetles","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
