Gone to study bugs...

Guys, if you've ever considered entomology, go for it. The Sci Fi channel started off the weekend Saturday with their redhead entomologist series, Bugs and Threshold, starring Angie Everhart and Jamie Luner, respectively, as entomologists fighting some sort of deadly insect infestation. Then, last night, CBS broadcast Locusts featuring Lucy Lawless as a government entomologist facing a swarm of, well, locusts.

Of course, this follows Mimic, the 1997 theatrical release with Mira Sorvino as an entomologist. My interest was initially piqued in 1996 by the X-Files episode "War of the Coprophages" in which Bobbie Phillips plays an entomologist named "Dr. Bambi Berenbaum", of all things. Going back even further, you can find Tiffany Bolling as an entomologist in Kingdom of the Spiders (also starring William Shatner!)
