66: Hummingbird Hawk Moths

Here is our aforementioned episode all about these fascinating insects! Please keep in mind there is some awkward editing, pauses and silences due to missing cohost Cassie’s audio.

For Episode 64 of CritterCast, Cassie and Koreena slither back to the world of reptiles! But we take a slightly different approach. Instead of delving into a ton of facts, we discuss the Round Island Boa…which is a species we don’t know that much about. Why?
