On this episode of CAROLINA'S FIELD, FOREST & WATER, student moderators Asa Simmons and Lilly Fox talk with Dr. Tim Drake, professor at Clemson University and South Carolina's State Entomologist. The topic: INSECTS.

Dr. Drake and our students discuss the dangers of mosquitoes, the roots of South Carolina's struggle with fire ants, why bed bugs are a growing threat, and insects in science fiction (and fact). It's a fascinating conversation with the Palmetto State's preeminent authority on bugs and insects.
