About this episode

Felder shares fun facts about praying mantises and mosquito hawks while discussing azaleas.

This week, Felder calls us from Chicago while Abram fills in for Java, which means Felder can tell him (and you) fun facts about praying mantises, mosquito hawks, and explain what an azalea actually looks like. Let's Get Dirty! Email Felder anytime at  FelderRushing.Blog  and listen Friday and Saturday mornings at 9 to The Gestalt Gardener on MPB Think Radio. In the meantime, in Felder's words, "get out and get dirty."
