Seen one of the flyers

“Oh, I’d seen one of you guy’s flyers! Figured it wouldn’t hurt to save some bugs for a few hours, you know?”

You nod and open the door to the facility, beckoning for her to enter. The lights are already on, and there are numerous closures in the space, all seemingly empty. As Jennifer looks around, you gather your pen and clipboard as well as a pair of cuffs and set them aside. You can see Jennifer peering into one of the enclosures, frowning a bit as she struggled to see anything.

“Hey, you never told me what exactly it is we’re saving,”, you heard ask as she keeps searching. At this you call her and motion for her to have a seat. You ask her if she’s read the waiver she was asked to sign, and she says yes a little too quickly to be believable, prompting you to give her the species name.

“Pthirus pubis? What’s that?”

You explain to her in layman’s terms that they’re pubic crabs. Her face blanches as she whips her head to look at the nearest enclosure.

“Why on earth are you trying to save them? They’re parasites for god’s sake!”

You remind her that while they’re parasites, they’re still endangered insects. You watch as she thinks, deciding whether or not to bolt.

“So then… how am I helping?”
