Living things will go to amazing lengths to find meals, mates, and places to sleep. And that's not just humans in college.
Matt Simon, a science writer at WIRED, collects some fascinating and often gruesome tales of how creatures in the natural world go about getting the things they need.
Simon's book is The Wasp That Brainwashed The Caterpillar. Yeah, that one's pretty gross. The author explains the title's meaning and more in a sit-down with The Exchange.
