Summary:

Should we have compassion and respect for creeping, buzzing, stinging creatures? Joanne Lauck says yes-and challenges the reader to view six- and eight-legged beings as messengers, guides, initiatory figures, and friends. Drawing on myth, touching and funny anecdotes, Native American wisdom, and science, Lauck shows how we can live in harmony with insects, healing an inner aspect of ourselves in the process.
