About this listen
In warmer weather, have you ever encountered a cloud of flies buzzing up and down near a water body? Chances are that you have encountered a swarm of midges. This episode gets into the biology of these amazingly diverse little insects. I am also pleased to announce my first book event at Phoenix Books in Burlington Vermont at 7:00PM on Thursday June 6th 2024. Finally, I reveal some secrets of the podcast recording process in my back yard shed.
The episode art is a photograph of a male adult midge with its characteristic feathery antennae. The females have simpler antennae but are none the less incredible products of fine-tuned evolution. The art comes from Wikimedia user WanderingMogwai and is shared under
