Possible definitions for fabraea
Fabre
French entomologist. Largely self-taught, Fabre did important research on three insect orders: bees and wasps (Hymenoptera), beetles (Coleoptera), and grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera). On the basis of his observations of the paralyzing actions of wasps in response to stimulating zones in their prey, he described the importance of inherited instinct as a behavior pattern in insects. Fabre wrote many books to popularize science. Though he never accepted the theory of evolution, his work was respected by C. Darwin.
