Each chapter blends natural history with cultural lore, making this both an engrossing narrative and a practical compendium of insect legends and uses.

Perfect for curious readers, entomology enthusiasts, classic literature collectors, and anyone fascinated by insects in art or the practical uses of creatures once called nuisances. Rediscover the uncanny, the useful, and the beautiful in the long human story of insects.
