0048: Songs of Spiders, Mosquitoes, Snakes & Other Less-Appreciated Creatures
This week, we celebrate the overlooked and often maligned members of Earth’s grand menagerie. This episode is dedicated to the lesser-loved creatures in Gaia’s care – those that crawl, slither, buzz, and lurk in the shadows of our affection. From Stephanie Barber’s jungle serpents to technical insights about bat detection, we journey through hornets in attics, rolling alligators, and possums in grottoes. The second half dives deeper with bloodsucking f(r)iends, sharks, space slugs, and the rising rebellion of worms, concluding with nocturnal nutria in our home base of New Orleans. These musical tributes remind us that beauty, purpose, and even humor can be found in the creatures that make us shudder – each playing vital roles in nature’s intricate web, regardless of their standings in any popularity contest. Perhaps by listening, we might cultivate a newfound appreciation for these essential neighbors.
