The author of Entomology challenged the tradition of going deep into insect life and using what methods to study insects.

Fabres challenged tradition, turned himself into an insect man, went deep into the life of insects, and studied their instincts and habits through field experiments. His research method was criticized by orthodox forces. He retorted, "You are cutting open insects, and I am doing research while they are alive and kicking.

You turn insects into a bunch of horrible and poor things, and I make people like me; You work in torture room and the morgue, and I observe the cicada singing under the blue sky; You test the hive and protoplasm with reagents, while I study the highest expression of instinct; You explore death and I explore life. "
