Description

Another buzzing episode. In this episode, Tom speaks with entomologist Charlotte Alberts about Assassin flies, and about flies more broadly. We learn all about the intruiging, deadly world of the Assassin Flies, what defines them and how they live, whilst also touching on the fly order (diptera) more broadly. As well as learning about flies as animals, we also consider the fraught nature of our relationship with flies, and have a chance to reflect on what it means to value and care about the smallest lives.

With the help of experts, we are lifting stones, peering into the water and grubbing in the filth.
