Insects Need A Spindoctor...

Well, once again I am struck by the poor reception that the most numerous animals on the face of the planet are receiving! After searching all of the podcast sites in the lesson (and some other sources) pretty much the only podcasts I can find on insects have to do with destruction of crops, property, or health. I mean really, less than 10% of all insects are pests (and >85% of all animals ARE insects!). But there we go again with ticks and mosquitoes and encephalitis and West Nile and locusts and.....

I suspect insects need to hire a really good PR guy, someone to control the media spin. Hmmm, wonder who politicians use......

Maybe you and the campus cock roach control guy could get together... he refers to huge roaches in our offices as "poor little guys" and gives us scolding looks for "scaring them." Thanks for doing Week 5!
