Lu Xun once called The Insect World a model for "telling insect stories" and "narrating the life of insects." Zhou Zuoren remarked, "It is far more interesting and meaningful than reading those tedious novels and plays." The Insect World is a monumental work written with both scientific rigor and literary flair, primarily in prose. Its main focus is on insectology, while also including biographical essays on personal experiences and memories, discussions on theoretical issues, and some (popular science) texts. The strengths of a seasoned and relentless insect explorer are fully demonstrated in this masterpiece. The French literary world once bestowed upon him the title of "Virgil of the Insect World" and recommended him as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Unfortunately, before the Nobel committee could reach its final decision, news of Fabre's passing was announced. People once called Fabre an "insect observer," but by his later years, he was widely recognized as an "insectologist." After his death, he was briefly referred to as an "insectologist and writer," and later, his legacy was celebrated with profound admiration for the wonders of nature. It is precisely this reverence for life that infuses this ordinary scientific work with a soul, transforming a book about tiny insects into a monumental work that imparts knowledge, joy, beauty, and wisdom to humanity.
