Welcome to Spring Bug Show
When you think of natural habitats, there's one that might not occur to you, your own body. Yet the human body is host to an amazing array of parasites. We'll talk about the bugs that live on and around us in this hour of Science Friday, and we'll also talk about how to identify insects from the gunk they leave on your windshield.
