On this episode of the INN I examine the coexistence and interdependence between humans and bugs, for all the good the bad and the ugly. It's a lecture that I gave at the UC Davis Art & Technocultural Studies Department in June. The show is really a rallying cry for the Insect Tribe as we dive into Cultural Entomology. I talk about the amazing inspiration and innovation that can arise from the human-insect connection, as well as take a look at some of the more profound ancient artifacts and mythologies that suggest maybe the relationship has a slightly more ETHEREAL bent.
