| Topics: | insect, entomology, science |
| Description: | Bug_girl has a PhD in Entomology. Her bug research involves using pheromones to try to control insect populations without pesticides. Essentially, she makes male bugs horny, and then prevents them from mating. (Please don’t extrapolate from that more that is warranted.) After a decade or so as a professor, she decided to jump the academic ship and went on to be a dot.com designer, web mistress, forensic consultant, and general attention whore. She posed in the First Skepchick Calendar in a corset. |
