#409 ft. Foo Maosheng, NUS Entomologist - Why Cockroaches Need More Love & Singapore’s Undiscovered Insects
We got Entomologist Foo Maosheng in our studio today to talk about the new cockroach species he discovered in Singapore & named after a Pokemon! We covered this story back in May 2023 (YLB #374), and now we get to hear about his love for creepy crawlies, the passion for Pokemon shared by him & his co-author and his estimate that we’ve only discovered about 30% of the insects in Singapore!
A big thanks to Foo Maosheng, Entomologist from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore.
