Ologies: Entomology (INSECTS) with Lila Higgins

Buuuugs.

We cover perhaps Alie’s favorite ology ever with an ologist who changed her life. Meet Lila Higgins: the self-professed “bug geek” with passion more infectious than a glassy winged sharpshooter mouth. (That will make sense later.) We talk about clowns in the forest, badgers, Hare Krishnas, solitary bugs vs. social ones, why wasps are such dicks and why it’s totally fine to kiss a cockroach and eat a cricket.

 

Ologies

Volcanoes. Trees. Drunk butterflies. Mars missions. Slug sex. Death. Beauty standards. Anxiety busters. Beer science. Bee drama.

Take away a pocket full of science knowledge and charming, bizarre stories about what fuels these professional -ologists’ obsessions. Humorist and science correspondent Alie Ward asks smart people stupid questions and the answers might change your life.
