Cockroaches, cockchafers and the insect armageddon cock-up

This episode features The Great Cockroach Challenge where Collie & Colette search for the beauty and majesty in cockroaches. Collie shows Colette his cockchafer (beetle), and we find out why insect numbers are dropping like flies and how we can all help them recover.

It's a cock-a-doodle of a show.


Presented by Collie Ennis and Colette Kinsella.
Produced by Colette Kinsella for Red Hare Media.
