Entomologist Elizabeth A. Betty McMahan, best known for her study of assassin bugs, was born in Pino, North Carolina . Intending to become a high school science teacher, McMahan attended Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., after leaving Pino. While at Appalachian State, a faculty advisor introduced McMahan to parapsychology, and she transferred to Duke University in order to work with J. B. Rhine . From 1943 to 1954, McMahan completed her B.A. and M.A. in psychology and published nine papers.<\/p>\n

In 1954, McMahan decided to pursue a degree in entomology . She studied termites at the University of Hawaii, receiving her Ph.D. in 1960. She completed post-doctoral work at the University of Chicago and then took a teaching job at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she taught for 26 years.<\/p>\n

McMahan's research took her all over the world, including Australia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Egypt, India, Panama, and Ecuador . While in Costa Rica in 1980, McMahan discovered that assassin bugs ( Salyavata variegata ) used tools in order to catch food. She published articles about the insects in several scientific journals and videotaped the food-catching process for the BBC documentary Alien Empire.<\/p>\n

After retiring, McMahan became a professor emerita at UNC. She taught in Jamaica as a Peace Corps volunteer and also became a children's book author. A collection of her books is located at the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n

In 2003, Dutch taxonomist Pieter van Doesburg named a newly classified species of the assassin bug after McMahan, Salyavata MacMahanae . In 2004, McMahan's friend and colleague Christine Nalepa established the Elizabeth A. McMahan Endowment at North Carolina State University . This endowment enhances the libraries' entomological collections.<\/p>\n From the guide to the Elizabeth A.
