Ep. 434 - Moths are Important Pollinators


Listen Later

This episode celebrates moths as pollinators. We ignore or even malign moths at our own peril. Dr. Stephen Robertson joins us to talk about how even crop pests can act as important pollinators. From their bewildering numbers to the ways they interact with daytime pollinators, Dr. Robertson will open your mind to the amazing and understudied world of moth pollination.
