The Life of the Caterpillar
Jean-Henri Fabre and Alexander Teixeira de Mattos
Pine processionary caterpillars march nose to tail in a silken column, and Jean-Henri Fabre follows every step. He watches their eggs hatch, their communal nest rise, and their weather-sense guide the procession. Astonishing, patient natural history of a strange collective life. The master entomologist at his most absorbing. Trace the caterpillars' silken road through the pines. Life underfoot has never seemed stranger.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
