Fireflies in Utah! with Christy Bills

For Post:  There are fireflies in Utah? Nevada? Montana? YES. The fantastic Christy Bills, the Entomology & Malacology Collections Manager at the Natural History Museum of Utah, joined us on the pod to talk about not just fireflies, but how cool all insects are, what insects are, and inspire you to think of them not as scary or gross, but cool and mysterious. Also, all the ants you see are fem 💖 so stop calling them “little guys”
