Episode description

Time for some entomology etymology! Rob and Jess will have you in bits as they explore the literal meaning of "insect" and all manner of other term for creepy crawly.

šŸ•·ļø Why do spiders spin "cobwebs"?
šŸ¦‹ Was a butterfly ever a "flutterby"?
šŸž Which is older, "ladybug" or "ladybird"?

These questions answered, and many more, a critter-crammed episode of Words Unravelled.
