Podcasts about ladybugs

One season is ending and another is beginning! We talk all about Halloween activities and how Morgan’s first big holiday season is kicking off with her boyfriend. Abby shares the latest in her relationship and life updates with her home. They both got a sign from lady bugs… but very different interpretations. Current obsessions and the thing Abby wants to change about herself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Nature Connection" podcast, Dr. Amy L. Stark talks about her new illustrated children's book, "A Magical Loveliness of Ladybugs," which encourages kids and families to reconnect with nature. Based on a true story, the book follows young Jan as she discovers her room filled with ladybugs — and along the way, readers learn how these tiny garden helpers play a big role in our environment. Dr. Stark discusses the importance of physical books, the balance between technology and outdoor play, and how gardening can inspire family connection and environmental awareness. She shares insights on how pollinator gardens support biodiversity, how nature can ease eco-anxiety, and why stories that celebrate the natural world are essential for today's children.

Summary: We know ants are farmers, but are they also ranchers? Join Kiersten to find out!   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  “Adventures Among Ants” by Mark W. Moffett “Trophobiosis is a tropical rainforest on Borneo: Giant ants Camponotus gigs (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) herd wax cicadas Bythopsyrna circulate (Auchenorrhyncha: Flatidae),” by Martin Pfeiffer and Karl Eduard Linsenmair “Aphid-farming ants,” by Annie B.

Eubanks Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Two episodes ago we found out that ants are farmers, at least some species of ants are farmers and they are amazingly well organized and productive farmers. The other side of sustained food production is ranching. Ranching is a form of agriculture focused on raising livestock for various uses. Are ants ranchers? Let's find out! The eighth thing I like about ants is their ranching activities. For those of you listening in order, last episode we learned about the Weaver ants of Africa that live in trees. They are some of the coolest ants out there with special physical adaptations  and behavioral adaptations that help them survive in the tree. One of the activities I didn't talk about, because I was saving it for this episode, is their ranching. The weaver ants, Oecophylla longinoda, use other insects as a form of food resources. Now they do hunt other insects and tear them apart and eat the bits, but they also corral certain insects and use the honeydew that those insects produce as food. Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, and scale insects are some of the “cattle” that Weaver ants utilize. These insects are all sap-sucking species that tap a plant for it's sap and drink it. The ants love the honeydew, or doo-doo, that comes out the other end of these insects. Yes, that's correct, the ants are eating their excrement which is actually more nutritious than nectar.  The Weaver ants are protective of their livestock keeping them from harm and moving them to fresher pastures, just like human cowboys. They often build leaf tents over and around their charges keeping them hidden from predators and controlling their movements so they can gather the honeydew for as long as the insect lives.  Who knew ants were ranchers? It's not only Weaver ants that exhibit this behavior.  Some species of Formica ants are also ranchers. They will tend similar insects as the Weavers including Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, scale insects as well as whiteflies and aphids. I found several papers talking about the relationship between Formica ants and aphids. They really treat these aphids like humans treat cattle. The ants tend them, watching them to protect them from predators, they will pick them up and remove them from a plant when danger arises (okay humans can't pick up cattle, but we can escort them to another area when needed), and when the part of the plant that the aphids are eating from begins to run dry the ants will take them to greener pastures. The ants are after the honeydew, of course, the excrement from the aphids, just like the Weaver ants. It is high in concentrated sugars and carbohydrates that keep the ants running.   Giant ants, Camponotus gigas, from the tropical forests of Borneo herd wax cicadas. They are incredibly well organized in their herding and perform three behaviors to help gather as much honeydew from these cicadas as possible. Some of the ants are collectors and spend about 80% of their time sitting below the cicadas to collect the honeydew as it comes out. Ants that spend their time collecting often focus on one cicada, returning to the same individual after each collection. There are also secondary gatherers that collect honeydew from the body parts of the primary collectors and receive honeydew via trophallaxis, or passing of regurgitated liquids to another insect. This allows the primary collectors to spend more time collecting directly from the cicadas. The secondary gatherers take the collected food back to the nest. A third worker might sometimes stand in front of the cicada and perform what the researchers called “antennating from ahead”. One or more ants will sit in front of the cicada or next to it and gently tap it with its antenna. At times this seems to encourage the cicadas to pass honeydew more frequently, but sometimes it didn't do anything, except possibly annoy the cicada. It's so interesting that these Giant ants of Borneo have adapted such specialized behaviors to collect excrement from another insect. It may seem like the ants may be controlling the aphids or cicadas and taking advantage of their production, which is not entirely false. Many ant colonies restrict the movement of their insects just like humans do with cattle, allowing them to go only where they want them to go, but its not always bad for the cattle. Aphids are not the most cleanly insects and they congregate in large groups, as any gardener listening to this episode will tell you. A group of aphids can suck a plant dry! Anyways, the ants retrieve the honeydew almost immediately once it is excreted. This is an advantage to the aphids, because it cuts down on fungus that can grow on the excrement and sicken the aphids. The ants are also protecting them from predators. Some ants remove Ladybugs, their larvae, and pupae from the plants that the aphids have chosen to feed upon. Ladybugs love a juicy aphid! Parasitic wasps that feed on aphids are also on the ants' radar. One of the questions that researchers have about this mutualistic relationship is whether it's obligate or facultative. Turns out it can be both. Facultative mutualism is a relationship where both parties benefit from each other's company but do not rely on each other. The previous discussion is an example of this. The Formica ants tending these aphids can walk away and find food elsewhere and the aphids can also go about their business without the ant ranchers. Obligate mutualism is when one or both parties is reliant on the other for survival. Some ants and aphids have evolved to rely on the other for survival. Some species of aphids and other insects have lost their ability to protect themselves without the help of ants. Some ants rely on the aphids and other sects to provide honeydew, they have lost the ability to go out and look for other food. Certain aphids live inside the ant colony and have lost the ability to grow wings and fly to find a mate. They just reproduce asexually throughout their entire lives and never the the ant colony at all. If these aphids left the ant nest, they would not survive. I guess we have proven that ants can be ranchers, as well as farmers. Thanks for joining me for this episode of ants as ranching is my eighth favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about ants.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

This movie is an abomination. Some therapy via podcast was needed to process the cringiest movie we've reviewed yet and perhaps answer why Jess actually LIKED this movie as a kid. Why did we watch this, you ask? Well listeners, we were required to activate the self -imposed "The Ladybugs" clause, which stipulates that we watch this movie after we deem five movies in a row as living up. We have regrets.

Across the Montreal area, people are reporting an explosion of what they think are ladybugs but many of them are actually Asian lady beetles. They look nearly identical to the familiar native species, but they behave quite differently. Julia Mlynarek, Entomologist, Entomological Collections and Research, at Montreal's Insectarium spoke to Andrew Carter.

Guuude und Tach,herzlich Willkommen zu einer neuen Ausgabe des MonkeyTalks mit einem Neuling vor dem Mikrofon, denn unser Silberrücken Andreas war bei den Queen Games Tagen und hat sich dafür den lieben Gregor geschnappt. Beide haben zwei Tage lang viel gespielt und werden uns nun zusammen davon berichten. Im Detail geht es da um Chichen Itza, Der Glückselefant, Ronin, Ladybugs, Valencia und Out of Words! Eine Menge zu berichten also und jetzt viel Spaß beim Hören.Euer MonkeyTalk-TeamSupport the show

In dieser Episode von Brettspiel-News-Event berichtet Thomas von seiner Teilnahme an einem Presse-Event in Bonn, das auf die neuesten Brettspiele fokussiert war.Er beschreibt seine Eindrücke von der Veranstaltung, die ihn mit über 80 weiteren Gästen in einem großen Raum zusammenbrachte, in dem das Spielen im Vordergrund stand. Neben der hervorragenden Verpflegung mit selbstgekochtem Essen und einer herzlichen Atmosphäre hebt er die Möglichkeit hervor, zahlreiche Spiele auszuprobieren und dabei neue Bekanntschaften zu schließen.Thomas gibt einen Einblick in die neu vorgestellten Brettspiele, wobei er seine persönlichen Erfahrungen und Bewertungen der Spiele teilt.Er beginnt mit dem Spiel "Valencia", einer Neuauflage des 2011 erschienenen "Strasburg". Thomas erklärt die spannende Mechanik der Auktionen und Bietrunden, die in diesem Spiel dden Spielern die Möglichkeit bietet, strategisch zu planen und zwischen Risiko und Belohnung abzuwägen. Auch das entspannte Spielerlebnis, trotz seines hohen strategischen Anspruchs, wird betont.Ein weiteres Highlight ist das Deduktionsspiel "Out of Words", bei dem die Spieler versuchen, mithilfe eines einzigen Wortes ein anderes Wort zu beschreiben. Thomas begeistert sich für den kooperativen Charakter des Spiels und merkt an, dass solche Wortspiele oft überraschen und viel Spaß bringen können, selbst wenn sie auf den ersten Blick unscheinbar wirken.Das Familienspiel "Ladybugs" wird ebenfalls unter die Lupe genommen. Thomas schildert seine Eindrücke von einem Area-Control-Spiel, bei dem die Spieler durch gekonnte Züge um die Blumenfelder Kontrahieren. Er hebt die taktischen Elemente hervor, die die Interaktion zwischen den Spielern notwendig machen und zeigt sich positiv überrascht von der Balance des Spiels, selbst bei einer reduzierten Spieleranzahl.Ein Tiefgang wird im Bezug auf das Spiel "Chichen Itza" deutlich, das Thomas als einen der aufwendigsten Titel beschreibt. Hier wird die Mischung aus Worker Placement und konfrontativer Strategie thematisiert, wobei er sowohl die Herausforderung als auch den Glücksfaktor erwähnt, der das Spielerlebnis entscheidend beeinflussen kann. Die Komplexität des Spiels und die Möglichkeit, Mitspieler aktiv zu konfrontieren, fasziniert Thomas, während er gleichzeitig auf die potenzielle Spaltung der Spielermeinungen hinweist.Das Worker-Placement-Spiel "Ronin" und das familientaugliche "Propeller Island", welches auf das Aufbauen und Vergrößern einer Insel abzielt, werden ebenfalls vorgestellt. Thomas hebt die dynamische Mechanik des Einsatzes von Arbeitern und die sich jederzeit verändernden Ressourcen hervor, die ihm viel Spaß bereitet haben.Zuletzt spricht Thomas über "Der Glückselefant", ein Kartenspiel, das auf einem Buch basiert. Während er über die humorvollen, aber auch teils tiefgängigen Themen des Spiels reflektiert, äußert er, dass der Ansatz, alltägliche Probleme auf spielerische Weise zu lösen, nicht unbedingt seinem Geschmack entspricht. Insgesamt vermittelt Thomas lebhaft seine Eindrücke von diesen neuen Spielen und schließt mit dem Hinweis, dass detailliertere Berichte und Fotos auf der Webseite von Brettspiel-News zu finden sein werden, da er sich darauf freut, die Zuhörer weiterhin über die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Brettspielwelt zu informieren.Euer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?

Hey Clutterbugs! This episode is all about decoding the secret link between your love language and the clutter driving you nuts. Think of your home as a love letter to yourself—except sometimes it's written in messy handwriting! We're chatting about how your emotional needs (hello, Acts of Service lovers and Gift-Giving hoarders!) shape your clutter habits, why that pile of “maybe someday” clothes is really a cry for affirmation, and how to turn your space into a sanctuary that actually loves you back. I'll spill how my mother-in-law's not-so-subtle love language book gift 23 years ago changed my marriage, and tell you why decluttering isn't about perfection—it's about making room for what truly fills your cup. Whether you're a Physical Touch avoider (guilty!) or a Quality Time host drowning in doom rooms, we've got laughs, “aha!” moments, and real-talk tips to align your home with your heart. Plus, I'm answering YOUR questions—like how to stop knitting needles from taking over your couch and why merging a Ladybug's chaos with a Cricket's minimalism is totally possible. Spoiler: Labels are magic. New to Clutterbug? Over 8 million people have taken our quiz (https://clutterbug.me/what-clutterbug-are-you-test) to crack their organizing code—join the party!       You can find more Clutterbug content here: Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/   #clutterbug #Lovelanguage #podcast #selfdiscovery #mondaymotivation

We get in to our Mens Room Question: Intentional or Not, What did you eat that you shouldn't have?

Some spinners and weavers picture the Schacht Spindle Company's factory as a large-scale operation churning out equipment by the hundreds. After all, Schacht's products are easily recognized in stores, studios, and guilds around the world. Others see the handmade touches—such as the ladybug on every Ladybug spinning wheel—and imagine Barry Schacht making every piece by himself. Although Schacht is “a tiny company in a tiny industry,” as Barry says, it has been decades since he built all the equipment himself. About four dozen employees manufacture looms, wheels, and other tools at the factory in Boulder, Colorado; some work their entire careers in the business. Barry has spent decades developing new equipment and refining old models with a new feature or a more effecient process. Many are surprised to learn that not only does author, editor, and teacher Jane Patrick work at Schacht, but she and Barry have been married for decades. As the editor of Handwoven magazine, she didn't advertise their relationship, but when her skills were needed in marketing, sales, and design, she joined the business. In addition to her roles at Schacht, Jane has advocated for small-loom weaving on rigid-heddle, inkle, and pin looms to involve new weavers and push the boundaries of design for little looms. After 56 years, although Schacht Spindle Company is going strong, Barry and Jane decided that it was time for them to hand over the reins. Barry met Paul Vervoorn, the new owner of Louët, at Convergence in 2024, and he saw someone who would continue the family-owned, community-focused, innovation-seeking nature of the company. Barry and Jane had already visited Louët's facilities in the Netherlands. The two companies announced in May 2025 that Louët would purchase Schacht, allowing Barry and Jane to retire. In this episode, Barry and Jane share stories from their decades at in weaving and spinning—and look at what's next.

Master Gardener Emily Clem talks with ACES Extension Agent, Brian Brown, about beneficial and non-beneficial weeds. He stresses that many weeds, often seen as nuisances, are actually beneficial. Clover, for example, adds vital nitrogen to the soil and attracts pollinators. In controlling invasive weeds, Brown recommends planting resistant varieties and modifying environmental conditions before resorting to chemical control. He suggests using pre-emergent herbicides for winter weeds and creating physical barriers for invasive species like bamboo. Kudzu, Bradford Pear trees, and Mimosa trees are some of the more invasive species, but the number one weed in our area is Chinese privet, and Brown offers several methods to remove it.Links:https://www.aces.edu/  (Alabama Cooperative Extension)https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/https://www.alcpl.org/Have questions about this episode?

How do you bring all the ladybugs to the garden? Well, I'll tell you one thing: the solution is NOT to buy them. (No judgement if you have.) I used to buy ladybugs and release them with my kids, and in less than an hour, every single little pollinator would have disappeared. So trust me when I say this is a waste of time and money.   Instead of introducing ladybugs that come from afar, you can attract tons of ladybugs that live nearby, so they come and live in your garden. In this episod, I'll tell you how to attract lots of ladybugs and how to ensure they stick around for the long haul.   Learn more about our organic pest control system: https://gardenary.samcart.com/products/organic-pest-control-formula-special
