14 There are writers who sometimes thrash about for ideas. Artists, too, sometimes have to beat the bushes for a theme. But when the French artist, Bernard Durin, took a tour of the countryside in Provence, he stirred up enough subject matter to last him a lifetime. He discovered the fantastic inexhaustible universe of insects. If you think the stars in the sky are beyond counting, multiply the number you see by one hundred, and you will only approach the number of known species of insects on earth. . about 800,000. The unknown and unclassified vari- eties would bring the count to between 2 and 4 million, with billions of individuals in each of the families. Entomologists who special- ize in studying 6-legged, creeping, crawling, flying creatures, have revealed startling facts about their life cycles and life styles. Some insects, for instance, sleep with their eyes open. Butterflies have taste organs in their feet. Many insects are deaf but katydids have ears in their forelegs just below the "knees,"and locusts hear through the sides of their abdomens. As for the honeybees, they are not aerodynamically correct for flying, but they do nevertheless, and they also see ultra-violet light which is invisible to mere humans. The literature of the world is rich in poems, prose and essays alluding to insects. Heinrich Heine, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Burns, Lewis Carroll, Andre Breton, Vladimir Nabokov are just some of the literary greats who have made observations about the insect kingdom. It remained for Bernard Durin, nature artist, to celebrate their visual wonders in portraits that are larger than life. His astute observations and meticulous renderings are a bonanza for scientists studying details of structure. But for an artist with esthetic yearnings, the patterns, colors and textures are a feast. The insect world provides a never- ending variety of shapes, abstract designs and inventive structures beyond all human powers to imagine or devise. To see Bernard Durin's re- markable insect portraits in full color and full size, you might want to look into the book,Insects,Etc. published by Hudson Hills Press, New York. In addition to the spectacular illustrations, the book contains an anthology of insect literature and a full entomological discussion of each of the 34 specimens pictured in the book.
