<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18491/20110928/mosquitoes-in-the-fall</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 28, 2011) You might be enjoying the warm days this September – but experts say those high temperatures are also attracting some unwanted guests.  Mosquitoes are usually gone for the year by now – but just walk outside at dusk, and you’ll know they’re still with us.  Tim Mihuc is coordinator of the Lake Champlain Research Institute at Plattsburgh State.  He with Julie Grant about how many mosquitoes might be out there, and why they’re still bugging us.

<title>The benefits of eating bugs</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17919/20110629/the-benefits-of-eating-bugs</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 29, 2011) Most people in Asia, Africa and South America eat bugs—prepared with shallots, lettuce, chilies, lime or spices. So, why not the rest of us? Seattle-based naturalist and author David George Gordon has written 19 books on a subject that makes some people squirm.  Orzo with Crickets?  Three Bee Salad? Waxworm cookies?  Gordon says it&apos;s all good for us.  Todd Moe spoke with him as he was about to bake European house crickets for one of his favorite creepy-crawly dishes.  He says it&apos;s cuisine he&apos;ll share during BuzzFest at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake this Saturday.
