DO
BUGS FART?
DO THEY GO
ON VACATION?
Morgane Merien has received some fun questions
hosting a TV show called Bug Hunter! As an
entomologist, she studies insects. Morgane
(pronounced "More-gon") spoke with us
from her home in New Zealand — a place
known for insects like blue-green
cave-dwelling glowworms.
Q&A
WITH A BUG SCIENTIST
KIND NEWS: Why did you decide to study insects?
opposite page: redrover. MORGANE MERIEN: I’ve always loved animals, and insects have
always been included in that. As a child I spent so much time outside [on the
tropical island territory of New Caledonia, near Australia]. We didn’t have a TV,
so I just spent a lot of time outside exploring. I became really comfortable with
the insect life.
