Hey, does anyone know of any good books (or websites or whatever) specifically about insects in myth, folklore, and religion? I'd like to do some reading on spiritual, mystic, and cultural aspects of insects in history but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of resources!

I um. I re-arranged some letters in my head by mistake when I read this and I got REALLY CONCERNED
So glad to be wrong. Anyway, I hadn't thought about it before, but now that you mention it insects do seem relatively missing from a lot of mythic lore. You might try looking into indigenous american folklore? The cherokee have the figure of Grandmother Spider and a tradition of animism, maybe that's a direction to start in?
