This is a show about insects, where better to start than with what are the BEST insects?

Join Nick and Liam as they tackle all sorts of entomological topics from aphids to ants, bees to butterflies, cockroaches to well.. you get the idea. This episode is the pilot where Nick and Liam host the insect oscars to see which insects are the best in their respective categories.

Intro music is by the lovely Kevin MacLeod at incompetech, find more of his music here.
