Raffensperger enjoys telling this sto­ ry because it so effectively illustrates the profound yet little recognized role that insects play in the grand events of his­ tory. But they’re there in the minutiae of daily life, too. “You’re up against in­ sects all the time,” he said. “Just think of the language. We get ‘the bugs’ out of a computer program, tell people not to ‘bug’ us. Musical groups, the Beatles, the Horseflies, the Yellowjackets are named after insects. They appear in art everywhere from Renaissance paintings to the decoration on ceramic coffee mugs.” To prove his point Raffensperger has a collection of sixty such mugs, and he takes a different one with him to each session of his unique course, Cultural Entomology. It’s the only one on the subject taught anywhere in the country. But not for long. To give other entomol­ ogy departments access to his twelve years of research, material from a third of Raffensperger‘s twenty-six lectures has been made into an interactive video titled “The Cultural Influence of Insects.” Not only is the video unique in its sub­ The computer screen shows one of the friendlier insects Gerry Gay (left) and Edgar Raffensperger have ject, but in its form as well.
