Amazed by insects: a day at the Rock Creek Confluence

Giant water bugs, striped meadowhawks, lyre-tipped spreadwings, green carabid beetles, mud-dauber wasps, velvet ants, assassin bugs... even the names of these creatures are amazing. The stories of their lives are equally mind-blowing - and to spend a day with other avid naturalists, learning about that, is just plain fun! This week's podcast is about just such a day, three weeks ago on Five Valleys Land Trust's Rock Creek Confluence property near Missoula. Thanks to Glenn Marangelo and the Missoula Butterfly House for organizing this field day!
