Dr. Sammy Ramsey and Dr. Paul Mireji take us through the gnarly life of a fearsome, blood-sucking parasite. If you want a SPOILER of what the creature is, read on: it’s a tsetse fly. By looking closer at the bug, we learn that these creatures give live birth, produce milk, protect entire ecosystems, and just might hold the solutions to some of our planet’s biggest problems.
