Welcome to Bug Note from the Natural History Museum of Utah. Between the creature-feature flicks of Hollywood, the anecdotal accounts of stings and bites, and other societal factors, we’re often conditioned to be afraid of bugs. In reality, only a tiny fraction of the bug world presents danger to humans. In this episode of Bug Note, host Daniel Potter chats with NHMU Invertebrates Collections Manager, Christy Bills, about the fear of bugs.
