Ep 41: Bug guts is science. What eDNA is revealing about NZ's insects with Richard & Aimee

It’s not often we talk about bug guts or meet people interested in getting squashed flies and bug splatters through the mail, but Richard and Aimme want to know all about it. University of Auckland Geneticists, Dr Aimee van der Reis and Dr Richard O’Rorke, are using the dead bugs left on your license plate to unlock clues about insect biodiversity inAotearoa New Zealand. This citizen scientist project relies on Kiwis driving about the motu and the dead bugs they collect on their licence plates.
