Interactions between people and animals are receiving increasing attention in various fields of scholarship, yet insects often remain overshadowed by more charismatic birds, fish, and mammals. Insect Histories of East Asia focuses on bugs and creepy crawlies and the taxonomies in which they were embedded in China, Japan, and Korea to present a history of human and animal co-creation of habitats in ways that were both deliberate and unwitting. The contributors draw on a wide range of disciplines to explore the dynamic interaction between the fictional insects that infested authors' imaginations and the six-legged creatures buzzing, hopping, and crawling around them. Using sources spanning from the earliest written records to the twentieth century, the contributors provide a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between humans and insects, shedding light on the ways in which these creatures have influenced our lives and cultures.
