I guested on Bug in a Rug Podcast to talk about a giant mosquito cryptid!
If you were on Fear Factor and had to decide between an eagle-sized mosquito drinking your blood or a hot coal thrown on your back, which would you choose?
Join us as we discuss the tall tale of the Averasboro Gallinipper, a giant mosquito that supposedly tormented the swamps of North Carolina!
