Want to know what happens in your very own back yard? Woods? Parks? I found a lovely podcast, Backyard Ecology. I leaned about things I never thought to ask, for example: most lightning bugs (fireflies) don't eat as adults, some flash synchronously, some not. In one species, the males hatch first, climb a tree and latch onto the first female nymph they find so they can mate with her first. This is a fun podcast, delivered in a conversational, non-jargony way, that opened my eyes even more to the world around me!
