We start the episode with 'news to us'. Elyse learned about early human ancestors and Andrew is skeptical. It's touch and go there for a minute, but once we cross that bridge we are knee deep in insect news! Some baby fungus gnats get their prey in a remarkable and gross way. A new spider species (we think) is discovered in Ecuador and worms that shoot slime out of their faces remind Elyse how amazing nature is and forces Andrew to come up with a better name than face canon. As always, if there are questions, comments, or you just want to say hi email us at podcastbraindump@gmail.com The sources we pulled this week's news from are below. Enjoy!
