Why would an insect gather a lethal pesticide and an analysis of how flat a flatworm is, are just two of the topics from this weeks episode.

Join us for another episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, this week Josh and Natalie are joined by curator Beulah Garner with three specimens relating to the word 'seductive'. Whilst Beulah also get's to talk about her 'perfect' specimen.

Does the perfect museum specimen exist? What's the squishiest? The most exuberant? Or even the most noxious?

Each episode, our hosts take their pick from 80 million specimens at the Natural History Museum to find the 'perfect' specimen. Their only prompt? A single word.
