Hello bug lovers! Today's show is a little bit different from what we normally offer! We're focusing on college nicknames and mascots that have an arthropod bend to them. There are quite a few schools out there who have chosen an arthropod of some sort to represent them and we are trying to cover them all. From boll weevils to yellowjackets. We discuss issues with the anatomy of some of these mascots, why schools may have picked certain species to represent them, and why we like or dislike each of them. We also handed out some awards to the fictional arthropods we thought deserved them! Tune in to hear all about it!!
