Who are Insect Collectors?

In our VERY FIRST episode, Clarisse and Zofia journey to the National Entomology Insect Expo to find out: who are Insect Collectors? Why do they collect? Is collecting environmentally sustainable? What happened that time Clarisse was almost arrested for insect smuggling? All this and more! This episode aired as a segment on The Science Show on ABC RN on 18/5/24. Many thanks to @insectexpo, Cleve Herd for speaking to us, Teeb Lake for original music, and Simon Pampena for mentorship and listening notes. Artwork and script by Clarisse Sawyer, editing by Zofia Witkowski-Blake. This podcast was created on the unceded lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung, Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples.
