On today's show we will be slightly stepping outside of our normal arthropod parameters! Join us as we visit with bat expert Dr. Luke Dodd of Eastern Kentucky University to learn about these interesting insect predators! We also dig into bat conservation, predator/prey interactions, in addition to our usual show segments!

The squash vine borer
The squash vine borer can attack and kill squash, pumpkin, and other gourd type plants. If you don't take care of it quick you could lose all your hard work! Tune in to hear about control methods.
