| Abstract: | Summary
Interpretation of the devil and of apostatized angles as insect.The origin of the interpretation of angles as insects must be sought in the sumeric and Babylonic cultures. At that time men thought that air-ghosts can transform themselves into insects. Up to 12th century the Devil was pictured in form of man. Than under the influence of Christian Church the holy animals of the Teutons, insects inclusive, were transformed into embodiment of the Evil One (the Devil).
