A short clip from the brilliant show, Quite Interesting. The start of the discussion is in regards to cochineal bugs – although they refer to them as beetles! (see buggirl) בסוף שבוע בלי עש יכול להוביל חוקרי פרפרים לעשות דברים מטורפים. משוגע מספיק כדי לצלם את עכביש. בסוף השבוע אני היה מלווה לסייר המזרחית על ידי בלוגר חרקים בחור, עמית לעבודה וarachnologist, Tamas SZUTA.
