With approximately 400,000 known species, you'd be very fussy to say that there isn't at least 1 beetle you love! With a variety like that it was tough for me to know what to actually talk about when I planned an episode just about them however, picking the person to talk to was easy.
Joining me on today's episode to journey under the log to learn about these wonderful insects is entomologist & assistant curator of entomology at National Museums Scotland, Ash Whiffin.
