He seemed fascinated about all with insect behavior, obviously admiring the industry, dilligence, ingenuity, organization, and skill of those small creatures .. Réaumur, in short, was a pioneer in applied entomological research .. His descriptions were minute and exacting in every detail, and his experiments were among the most ingenious he ever contrived .. Réaumur's reserches were extensive and original .. He made some of the first tentative studies of communication among the bees" (DSB). - Wenige Bll. schwach gebräunt. RSch. angesplittert.
