You should be careful with baby bees.... more than about 4 or 5 and you can actually overdose on Vitamin A, they have so much in them (I raise bees--shocked?) And although I haven't yet tried cockroaches (they can't live in Maine, too cold), I have heard they have a nutty flavor that's good in baked goods.

Jay... I actually haven't met any single male entomologists. If you find any, say between age 22 and 32, send them my way!

Hey muthea...i know a bunch of male entomologists if u are looking!

I was an entomology junkie myself in college (didn't wanna admit it the first time i posted). But I never have tried bugs....

Have to admit though...I never did understand those angles involved with the bee dances...could never calculate those right.

My prof for that class was the guy who discovered the bee dance! Cool, huh?

Wow, that is WAY COOL! I've been raising bees for about 4 years now, but never had the opportunity to observe the dance up close. Living in rural Maine, I have actually never met someone my age who's into bugs. I have to admit, I don't know as much as someone who's gone to school for it, I learned what I know from books and personal experience. So when I have talked to people online and to professors, they made me feel pretty dumb. But just because I don't have a degree doesn't mean I don't love entomology. It's definitely a passion. My biggest fantasy crush right now is Gil Grissom on CSI-- because he's an entomologist.

It's not a common hobby.

Why a nurse when you could have a doctor? Or would you be jealous?

That's not very specific. I have a very cute friend, she's 23, long blonde hair, blue eyes, thin, about 5'6", very nice. But she raises rabbits and guinea pigs, has 12 cats, her house smells like animal urine, she works at an auto parts center, she's obsessed with Kias, and has no ambition in life. So you see, cute is not always an indicator of good gf material.

thanks...trust me, u gotta see the bee dance...it is way cool! most people think humans are the only one with brains, but I'm tellin ya...animals know as much if not more than us in certain respects. I'm glad to have found a fellow insect enthusiast.

It definitely is not common. But even though I've gone to school for it, I've forgotten a lot ever since starting med school. and seriously, i wish i had a countercurrent heat exchange system...would keep me warm!

ooh...and i agree with u about gil grissom...entomologists are the type of scientists that are not only smart, but not all showy about being smart.

I did see the bee dance on TV a while back... so complex, way better way of communicating than most primitive human means. Actually, I just read a news article saying scientists have discovered that bumblebees can recognise human faces by sight, a skill we have yet to be able to perfect in computer programming for face-recognition software.
In addition to the bug thing being a kind of turn off to most non-bug-enthusiasts, I am also a devout Christian, not common among scientists, so I figure I'll probably be single for a while.

That's alright, I can't really expect someone to wait for me while I go through premed and med school anyway. I'll have my bugs to keep me company.
