Moths, Beetles, Flies – Oh My!

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Bees and butterflies get all the buzz when it comes to pollination, but what about the underdogs? Think flies and moths, which are essential to pollination in the Midwest. In the Loop kicks off the blooming season by checking in with entomologist Allen Lawrance of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, to find out how we can use our backyards to protect and support pollinators. Plus, WBEZ kids weigh in with their questions about bees, hummingbirds, and other insects. For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
