One Wild World: A Podcast About Animals

How Far Can Tarantulas Really Migrate? feat. Dr. Rich Reading & Lorna McCallister

The Echo Season 2 Episode 6

The journey of tarantulas to find love… A bee scaring away an elephant… Are these facts or fiction? In this episode of One Wild World, we explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of invertebrates with Butterfly Pavilion’s VP of Science & Conservation Dr. Rich Reading, as well as their Beekeeper Associate Lorna McAllister. From the remarkable tarantula "mate-gration" in Colorado, to the innovative "bees for elephants" project in Tanzania, our guests shed light on the critical role these tiny creatures play in ecosystems worldwide. Whether it’s the importance of pollinators, the complex lives of spiders, or the conservation efforts to protect these critters, this episode will change how you view the invertebrates that live among us.
