Spanish fly is a beetle that looks like an ant. The beetles that produce cantharidin are native to North America, but they’ve been introduced around the world as an insecticide because of their ability to kill aphids and other bugs. Spanish fly has been used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times. It’s extracted from dried beetle dung by so-called “fly-catchers” who collect it from nests in the spring before the larvae pupates (or matures). It’s legal in Namibia, but not well known there due to its rarity and price tag—where it sells for $40-$50 per pill (and up).
