In this episode, host Victoria Shepherd chats with retired entomologist Phil Nixon about some very interesting bug photographs we’ve received from viewers of Mid-American Gardener on WILL-TV. From the weird to the wonderful, from stink bugs to dragonflies, Phil has answers and explanations for them all.

If you have questions (and include photos if you have them), we’ve got you covered. Send questions via email to yourgarden@gmail.com, or post on Facebook, or leave us a voicemail at (217) 300-8224. Who knows, we just might look to include them in a future show or podcast.

Plus, you can now follow us on Instagram!

As always, thanks for listening.
