From an early age, Candez worked diligently in the study of the biology and systematics of insects and mainly coleopterans ; he was considered one of the best experts in the family of nutcrackers (Elateridae), which he collected a rich collection.

Chapuis , 1853 ); Monographie des Elatérides ( 1856 - 1863 ); “Elaterides nouveaux” (6th edition, 1865 - 1896 ); “Des Insectes nuisibles ou utiles” ( 1862 ) and many other works.
