The Earwig's Tail
Throughout the Middle Ages, enormously popular bestiaries presented people with descriptions of rare and unusual animals, typically paired with a moral or religious lesson. This compendium of tales offers an alphabetical tour of modern myths that illuminates aerodynamically unsound bees, ear-boring earwigs, and libido-enhancing Spanish flies.
