...milkweed? How much milkweed is near cornfields as opposed to other areas? And can Bt corn be modified further? Clearly the Cornell study has flashed an amber light, but before it turns to red, says Bjerklie, "more investigation is needed." For the moment, he reports, "most plant and insect ecologists believe this will turn out to be a solvable problem."

Norfleet's "Frolic" is also cheerful, while "Who's the Fairest of Them All" provides witty commentary not only on the aesthetics of insects (which not all of us find as attractive, as, say, horses or bunnies) and our own human vanity through the Narcissus allegory but on the inherent vanity in artistic expression as well.

For the resident...

But if you're allergic to dust--or more accurately the mold, pollen, mites and insect parts that linger in dust--winter can be the worst time of year. When the furnace kicks on, all the dust that has settled into your carpet, atop the bookshelves and under the couch gets stirred up and wreaks havoc with your eyes, nose, sinuses and throat...
