A real life Spider-Man

From the multiple false widow spider sightings in the space of a month (one where a Waterford woman was hospitalised) to a giant moth in Cork last week, what's going on at all? Where are these creatures popping out of?

Michel Dugon is the Zoology Lecturer at Ryan Institute, NUI Galway and with a nickname like 'The Bug Doctor', we knew he was the right man to ask.

Baz Ashmawy, who's filling in on Dermot and Dave, chats to the insect specialist about these infestations and learns some lesser-known facts about the life of a wasp.

All hail the queen!
