Arthro-Pod EP 95: Napoleon vs Insects Part 6- An interview with Everett Rummage of Age of Napoleon

Welcome back bug lovers (and Napoleon enthusiasts)! On today's show, we put a cherry on top of our Napoleon vs Insects mini-series by meeting up with Everett Rummage. Everett is the host of "The Age of Napoleon" podcast and and expert that we were keen to chat with. Mike has been eagerly anticipating this day where we get to ask alternate history questions about Napoleon's career and see "what if..." some of the issues the great general had with insects, hadn't occurred. Join us won't you?!

Arthro-Pod EP 94: Talking Ants in August

 

In this episode we talked about ants! 

 Just a note, the Arthro-pod team had a pre-chat and practiced gratitude before getting into the ants, so if you want to bypass our personal updates, forward to about the 10-minute mark.  

 Some of the things we talked about topics like classification of ants, ants and communism, ants as pests, ants as aphid farmers, ants as beneficial insects, keeping ants as pets, the importance of identifying ants, how baiting works, and how to manage the ants thoughtfully and creatively in your urban landscape.

 Some of the ants we mention include Eastern black carpenter ants, small carpenter ants, acrobat ants, citronella ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants, Argentine ants, fire ants, and the extinct hell ants.
