bioephemera is art + biology - anything and everything from representations of science in art and literature to the neuroscience of aesthetics. Along with lots of other stuff that's just plain interesting.
Jessica Palmer is a biologist & artist currently based in Washington, DC. She spent the last few years teaching at a small state college out West, and now plays with science policy. Her homepage includes the bioephemera archives & a gallery of her work.

I'd be afraid that any contraption designed by H.R. Giger would lay eggs in my chest or otherwise violate me in some horrible way.

Ah, but you'd be so privileged to be the victim of a Gigerlicious insectoid beastie!
