S04: E09 Stinging Caterpillars

The Garden Thyme Podcast

This year, we are taking a break from our spooky plant list to instead talk about a spooky, cute group of insects STINGING CATERPILLARS! Don't let their cuteness fool you; these incredible insects can string if touched, so BEWARE and keep your hands to yourself.
We also have our:

• Bug of the Month – Antlions. (~29:45)
• Native Plant of the Month - Little bluestem- Schizachyrium scoparium (~37:15)
• Garden Tips of the Month (~40:25)
