Squid have three hearts, while anchovies have orgies of sorts.

This was part of the message that actress, model, and author Isabella Rosselini brought to Benaroya Hall last night, where she spoke in support of Green Porno, her two-year-old short film series on the sex lives of insects for the Sundance Channel. The event was part of Seattle Arts & Lectures' calendar of events.

Rossellini called herself an entertainer, but said that if anyone learns anything from her work, she's happy with that as well. And, would you believe, she's into the "porn" more for the animal behavior than for the sex?

She sat on the stage with confidence, intertwining photographs and videos in telling part of her life story. Up next for Rossellini: a "courtship" project for Sundance, and a show about animals that live in Manhattan for Discover. Meanwhile, everyone seemed to get a chuckle out of the Green Porno series, including this "Earthworm" clip:
