Usually, when Houstonians talk about insects, it's about the ones that we want to kill. Mosquitoes, fleas, fire ants, but today one of the insects' biggest fans is joining bug-hating producer Dina Kesbeh. City Cast contributor, Scott Solomon studies ants. He's a Rice University entomologist, and he's just released a lecture series on why insects matter. Scott is going to make the case that yes, even in Houston, we need those creepy crawlies.
