Hour Two: The Spring
Insects Show
It's spring time. The days are getting longer, the flowers are in
bloom and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of ...bugs? That's
right, it's time for Science Friday's annual tribute to the world
of insects.
We'll ask the question, "What good ARE bugs anyway?" Plus,
we'll get to hear what all the leafhoppers are talking about, and
give you the chance to ask about that weird-looking creepy-crawly
thing you found on your rosebushes.
Call in with your questions and comments at 1-800-989-8255, and share
your opinions online in our Listeners' Lounge (registration required).
