Lepidopterology (BUTTERFLIES & MOTHS) Encore Presentation with Phil Torres

Published: March 25, 2020, 6:40 a.m.

b'Since we just put out the "All (Washed) Hands on Deck" episode on Sunday, we figured a happy Springtime encore about fluttery, colorful cuties was in order -- with a few new updates and asides. Because ... Butterflies are gross. Yes they are delightful and beautiful and part of any idyllic picnic-scape but lepidopterologist, TV host and jungle explorer Phil Torres is here to gossip about how shamelessly disgusting our favorite bugs actually are. Learn their secrets, their mating habits, how they turn themselves into goo and then into another creature, what moth is the most goth, what flowers to plant to attract them, the scariest thing about the jungle and what it feels like to help discover new species. Also butterflies get sloppy drunk and we talk all about it.\\n\\nFor more info, see:\\n\\nPhil-Torres.com\\n\\nFollow Phil on Twitter and Instagram and TikTok\\n\\nMore info on the COVID-19 volunteer scientist database: https://tinyurl.com/COVID19SciVolunteers\\xa0\\n\\nSponsor links: hellofresh.com/ologies10; linkedin.com/ologies\\n\\nDonations went to Xerces.org & MealsonWheelsAmerica.org\\n\\nFollow Phil\'s inspiration, @AndyBugGuy, on Twitter\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow @Ologies on Twitter or Instagram\\n\\nFollow @AlieWard on Twitter or Instagram\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nMore links at www.alieward.com/ologies/lepidopterologyencore\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
