Venom

Across the wild world of bugs, many groups of insects have evolved to use the same survival tool: venom. For some bugs, venom is a weapon used to kill or immobilize prey. For others, it’s a defensive weapon. On this episode of Bug Note, host Daniel Potter chats about venomous bugs with the entomologist leading the Natural History Museum of Utah, Dr. Jason Cryan.
