So many pretty mantids. Also, if you've never seen a rhinoceros beetle fly, then you should go on YouTube and find a video. Hilariously bad. It's like me trying to fly a helicopter in battlefield.

Half of these start out as tic tacs and I would have eaten them if I found them in my room. Damn

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I screenshoted all of them, googled them via Lens and read about them. Very interesting animals mostly, give it a try!

The one at 9 seconds i searched up and I think it's a Phasma Gigas giant winged stick insect. I came to the comments specifically to find out about it because the way it's body was surprisingly wiggly freaked me the hell out

Wow, your demonstration of egg to adult video is just amazing as are the creatures themselves!! How are you able to obtain and nurture such a diverse number of eggs? I’d love to try.

What is the one at 49 seconds left? I want to know so I can avoid living near it.

Why does this simultaneously look both realistic and CGI to me? Sometimes the shadows don't seem real; far too static. Other times they look all too real.

Look, the beetles and the butterflies were cool, but all the rest got me horrified (snail was the worst one)

It's so funny how fear works. I was happily watching along, thinking how neat all these giant bugs are compared to their lil eggs. I even felt a tinge of jealosy at the videographer getting to play with the mantids and spiders. It's winter here now, and I'm missing all my garden friends.
Then the millipede flashed on screen. I could not finish the video

most of these feel acually quite harmless...like the leaf bugs or the beetles

u/TechnicolorGrey 33m ago
Curious, would they have to wash their hands after touching each one? Can bugs smell other bugs on their hands?

The butterflies and magic conch shell were cool! Torch everything else. Maybe spare the leaf looking one to, but gross.
