Ep 222: Gary Hartley - World's Worst Insect

We've got ants in our pants, bees in our knees and bugs in our earlugs this week as entomologist - and definitely not etymologist - Gary Hartley talks to us about the World's Worst Insect. Or rather, Gary stubbornly spends much of the show defending some of humankind's tiniest and most annoying nemeses from their traditional criticisms. Meanwhile, Ben has tales of Nazi insects and Barry discovers exactly why praying mantises give such amazing head.
