| Achoimre: | Once considered marginal members of the animal world (at best) or vile and offensive creatures (at worst), insects saw a remarkable improvement in their status during the early Renaissance.

This book explores the ways in which such imagery defined the insect as a proper subject of study for Europeans of the early modern period. |
