Insect wranglin'

Need to get bugs to take direction? Who ya gonna call? Steven Kutcher.

"I know how to get a cockroach to run across the floor and flip onto its back. I can get cockroaches, beetles and spiders to crawl to a quarter four feet away on cue. I can make bees swarm indoors and I can repair butterfly wings," says Kutcher. He has even made a live wasp fly into an actor's mouth.

[...] "People find me and I'm off on these adventures," says Kutcher, "problem solving, and exploring, and teaching, and educating people about insects." But Steven Kutcher's hat best describes his life, his love and his philosophy: "Bugs are my business."

Wouldn't that make a great line for an entomology noir film? (And, yes, he does point out that spiders aren't bugs.)
