gabyyyyMy 12 year old future entomologist loves the show (and so do I)“This podcast is really fun and educational and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a podcast about insects/bugs/arachnids. I like hearing about all these creatures I never heard about become.” Nico (12)

RachelSewsAlways informative and super fun!I love learning about bugs and all the creepy crawly cuties, and this podcast does a great job introducing listeners to new and exciting bugs as well as the bugs right outside our front door. It’s excellent every time!
-
elitejoegPerfect Entomology PodcastInsects for Fun is everything I could ask for in an entomology podcast! The concise ~10 min long episodes are the perfect length in my opinion, and packed full of wonderful info. Discovering this podcast has infinitely improved my morning commute to my job raising and researching caterpillars! 🐛 Mitchel is clearly well-versed in entomology and science communication, and you can tell that he does his research for every topic he presents. Looking forward to watching this podcast grow!

AnnaLouise014insects for funas an entomologist these are such fun to listen to & recommend to others. Easy listening & great content!

BadWolf_BeccaFun!I’m only sad that i didn’t find this sooner. I found this today and am about 2 hours in. Some of the animals mentioned are my favorites (water scorpions) and some are completely new (velvet worms). I was listening with earbuds while cleaning house, but kept stopping to replay sections out loud so everyone could hear. Now I wish for really long deep dives on some. 10-15minutes is perfect AND not enough. Would love to hear your thoughts (and recommendations) for related books. I recently finished An Immense World by Ed Yong. Other popular authors Dave Goulson, Doug Tallamy and a lot other authors recently published on wild bees… would love an insect themed book club! thank you for this podcast!

.h.o.l.y.c.h.a.o.s.Intriguing, Engaging, Well-Researched…and Fun!This podcast has been such a great and engaging lesson for me and my kids. As an aspiring entomologist, my son has loved all of the different new facts and tidbits he has learned about insects through this podcast. My son would love to hear a podcast about the Chinese Mantis! Many thanks from The Heartland!

macnsakInformative & entertainingNice review of each insect.
-
TheLovelyDavidBugsI like how short and to the point each episode is while still being informational and entertaining! I also appreciate how it dives into different cultural beliefs surrounding the insects

subaru498Recommend for bug enthusiastsA fun and educational podcast on our little creepy crawly friends! Just listened to the first episode, and I learned so many cool and obscure facts about bees that I had zero idea about. It’s easy enough for an arthropod amateur like me to understand, and has enough niche facts for an insecta expert to enjoy as well. (The good vibes of the background music is a definite plus!)
