BURLINGTON, Vt. -

The :30 has started a new segment called What's Bugging You?

It will cover all things insect with our bug expert Jon Turmel, who was the Vermont state entomologist for decades. He recently retired.

So we asked our Facebook fans what they wanted to know about bugs. As you can imagine, there were a lot of questions about Eastern equine encephalitis and the recent spraying to kill mosquitoes. Watch the video for the Q & A with Turmel.

And you can share your insect questions for Jon Turmel on our Facebook page.
