Trick or Treat Month continues, and we’ve called upon the spirit of Radiolab and Terrestrials ghost-host Lulu Miller to get down in the muck with us to talk about all the wormy, wriggly, slimy, little creatures that send shivers down our spines: creepy crawlies!

There’s a little something for everyone!
