Is that more common than other species?
8:06
It tends to be one of the more common ones that we have here in Iowa, one that we really recognize.
8:11
Some of the others, it's almost just kind of that drone.
8:13
But I really like in the beginning, you kind of have that buildup, and then you get the sound waves, and then it kind of trails off, sometimes for quite long.
8:21
But yeah, they're fun to listen to.
8:22
That's a pretty common one.
8:24
And how are they making their sounds? So cicadas are different.
9:16
And they're also looking for females.
22:15
um
22:17
which made a huge difference to my life because nobody wants that ingrained in their brains.
22:23
No, no.
22:25
So havening is, and that's something I recommend to so many people who've had, who've seen things that you cannot unsee and they come back on a regular basis because living with that and being too scared to go to sleep at night or close your eyes because of what is flashing back at you.
22:47
um nobody should have to live like that and that is seriously debilitating and um I so I knew my dad I knew my father was a pedophile and um so many people would ask me did he ever do anything to you and I couldn't say yes I couldn't say no I just couldn't go there And it was safer for everybody because I had to hold on to that, that he was arrested and charged and would be going to court.
23:18
And he told me I couldn't tell anybody.
23:20
And he, the first time, I was still living with him because my mum had left him for her boss, who she'd been having an affair with for quite a long time.

So what's your final A?
5:23
Is there anything we can do to help out pollinators during a heat wave like we've been experiencing?
5:32
Yes.
5:33
I put out water dishes for bees.
5:37
I mean, as you know, we're supposed to stay hydrated as animals.
5:40
They need to stay hydrated too.
5:42
And so you can easily put out just bee water dishes.
5:47
If you Google that, there's like a lot of like really cute ones.
9:04
What do pollinators need from us?
