	Description:		Episode Notes Spring is here! So, what better time to talk about winter-active insects? Steve recorded this one in February with entomologist and all-around-great-guy Dr. Wayne Gall, and there was no way we could wait until next winter to share it! Join Steve and Wayne as they head into the winter woods, peeling back the snowy curtain that conceals the ecology of these fascinating invertebrates. This episode was recorded in February 2021 at the Deer Lick Conservation Area, a Nature Conservancy property, located in Gowanda, NY. Timestamp of sightings in the episode 2:34 – Small Winter Stone Fly – Genus: Allocapnia 12:20 – Snowfleas in the Order Collembola 12:33 – Snow Scorpion Fly in the Genus Boreus.
