This is a really fun show b/c I turned on the mic and talked to the Community about the microcosm. As I've said a million times before, it is absolutely mind blowing what comes out of people's heads when they start to talk about bugs.

Some of the topics we cover on the show: How Cockroaches Stroke Each other (no they don't choke each other) and how they exhibit highly sensitive social behavior. Hoe kids who live around the Yuba River are extremely dialed into the ecology of riverine insects. How our understanding of language continues to expand into the world of insects, including in the German language. We learn about Imaginal Cells in the Butterfly Evolution, $40,000 butterfly paintings and the emergence of divine chocolate.
