Daniel Marlos Biography

Visual artist Daniel Marlos known primarily for making photographs and experimental films embarked upon a new venture when he was asked to contribute a column to American Homebody a zine that was the brainchild of Marlos’ longtime collaborator Lisa Anne Auerbach. What’s That Bug? became a print column in mid 1998 and it was an instant hit with the small readership who needed assistance identifying the unknown creatures that crawled about inside and outside the home. In early 2000 American Homebody launched a presence on the internet and What’s That Bug? went along for the ride. The persona of The Bugman a self-proclaimed insect expert was born and the column quickly become the most popular component of the parent website that was also devoted to recipes helpful hints and all things related to domesticity.
It soon became evident that everyone really did want to know What’s That Bug? and the column spun off into a unique website that each year garners more and more attention from the appreciative public. Some recent accolades include Yahoo Pick of the week in 2003 USA Today Hotsite in 2004 Earthlink Weird Web in 2006 Real Simple Magazine in 2006 Sunset Magazine in 2007 and a lecture at the Getty in 2008. It has always been the mission of What’s That Bug? to educate the public in an entertaining manner and to promote tolerance of insects and other beings that share our planet including foreign cultures whose world views are radically different from our own. Though Daniel Marlos has been writing What’s That Bug? for more than ten years The Curious World of Insects is his first book.
