Arthro-Pod EP 77: All About Galls with Denise Montelongo



Hey everyone, Michael here. I'm excited to share an interview I recorded with Denise Montelongo about gall wasps and her work on them at Penn State. We talked about what a gall is, what kind of organisms make galls, cynipid gall wasps, and a whole lot more.


You can follow Denise's work through the Frost Museum on Twitter @FrostMuseum and the web; you can also sign up for the Museum's newsletter.

Arthro-Pod EP 76: What Bugs Bug the Entomologists?



Usually, the Arthro-Pod crew is all about tying to convince people that insects are cool and to be appreciated. However, they are only human and even they have some insects that they have convoluted pasts with. Some of them they may have come around on but others... well maybe it's best they stay separated! Tune in to hear each host's story!
