The Blindboy Podcast · Climate action for Spring with Collie Ennis · 22 Apr 2026 podcast

This has happened loads of times I've gotten contact over and people think next minute they hear a helicopter and a big beetle crashes off the table.

Now why is that happening?

The beetle thinks the reflection on that table is pond water.

And it happens all the time.

I think it's hilarious because people are like, there's cockroaches attacking me outside the canal.

But it's actually just beetles coming out of the canal looking for a new place to breed, new places to kind of set up new colonies.

But if you get rid of them and all their numbers go down,

Because they struggle in canals, for example.

And that's the only thing.

And then numbers go down.

Then you're taken away from swifts, diets.

They need these bigger, chunkier insects.

The larger bats that we have would need these chunkier insects.

So it's not like, you know, everybody's played kerplunk.

Yeah?

And you know when you're playing kerplunk and you pull out the straws and you're thinking, I'm getting away with mortar here.

And you can just pull one straw.

It doesn't have to be any particular one, anything looking special about it or anything.

You just pull it and everything goes.

And that's what happens with food webs.
