Ep. 9: Man-on-bug crime
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Earlier this month, a curator for the American Museum of Natural History was arrested at Istanbul Airport with some 1,500 dead scorpions, spiders and tarantulas in his luggage. Did he commit a crime? If not, aside from the unusual sight of so many dead bugs in a suitcase, why did police suspect that he did? We're talking about that, and biopiracy, on today's episode.
