This is a giant Jungle nymph, Heteropteryx dilatata. Commonly kept as pets

okay shut up know it all why’d you have to give it away?! The whole point in watching this video is to try to find out what animal it is.

Heads up for the future; not all crustaceans are marine, or even aquatic. Take isopods for instance, aka rollie pollies aka woodlice. Decapods is a better term to describe them all in a neat, generalized category.

not all crustaceans are decapods though.

I'm curious, do you work for a school or are you just a guy with a cool collection. I absolutely love your videos....very educational and interesting.

He mostly works with conservation for museums. So he travels around and do work for them to keep/restore their collections. Though he has some specimens in his private collection as well.

i felt like i was in a really engaging class. love these videos and the explanations that go along with the process!

Darn we got stickbugged Also! The waist isn't a characteristic of Hymenoptera, since many Hymenopterans don't have thin waists, that's actually for Apocrita!

Man you’ve got me like second guessing my career path. This is so cool.

I used to be creeped out by seeing dead animal skulls and bugs, but your channel is incredibly fascinating and I like to try to guess things and love your process of elimination and descriptions!

I’m 28 years old and I feel like a kid watching these videos cause I’m trying to guess and learn more. Haha like my guess in my head or out loud haha great channel. Takes the stress away from work.

I loved how you disproved the idea that its a grasshopper because its really easy to nod along even when you dont know the sbuject, but showing us why its NOT something else really makes you think better.

I just stumbled across this video. I felt like I was watching an in detail who’s that Pokémon. Absolutely love this video! Keep up the good work my 420 brain loves this

I'm scared of insects but I enjoyed this for some reason

I have never seen one IRL but these critters and similar in size always show up in my dreams...

This was so enjoyable! How have I never seen your channel before? Instant subscribe. I was yelling "leaf insect!" at the screen as soon as you started. There's a bug zoo in my hometown that has a lot of different kinds of stick and leaf insects so I've seen them before. They're so neat! Anyway, thanks for making this, I can't wait to see what else you've put out. :)

R.I.P. all the Arachnids he did not mention aka Amblypygi, Scorpions, Ticks, Harvestmen and Pseudoscorpions

when the image of the grasshopper popped up im just comparing it to the insect, the grasshopper is way more cute like he looks so nervous

Insects also have a body thats divided into three parts head, thorax and abdomen, which is unique to them as well..

The whole time I kept looking at its face, thinking why so grumpy? Love the channel. Make On my Friend Maker 238

Holy hell, this madman actually found out what is that monstrosity!

I keep them as pets. They are really cool.

This is some of the most engaging work on yt!

This was very educational and satisfying to watch, thank you for your hard work 🦗💚

coolest channel i've come across in a while. keep up the great work!

Oh my god I absolutely loved your video so much , this Should receive the recognition it obviously deserves , honestly the classification the elimination and with this a perfect tour of a taxanomic guide , oh my lord you are amazingly dope

This video format is super interesting. I don't know much about cameras or recording, but if you could somehow make videos like this in 1440p or even 2160p to see all the little details on the specimens, I think that would be super cool.

I love not only all the specimens you presenting and discussing about, but also the way you photoshoot them and filmed them, I mean the lightings so cool and calming. if you don't mind may I know what type of lightings you are using? I'm an animal sculptor, and I really like my animal models be presentable like your specimens in their thumbnail and in the videos. Any advise would be appreciated much. thank you so much for sharing all these facts, I'm really enjoying them.😊😊😊

love your content, man. keep up the good work!

That was so much fun. You're my new favorite biology professor!

The Darn specimen is haunted LOL

So awesome, really enjoy these vids I have also had a few of these as pets, although obriminae ones

This is so cool! Keep it up man

Love your Vids. So satisfying

Luckily he didnt say "I think its a fish"💀

Oooh some few years ago I have asked for dead bugs in my local zoo (they sometimes very kind and if you ask nicely they will give away dead bugs for crazy bugpeople) and they gave me an almost identical specimen

I instantly thought stick bug. But I was traumatized by a stick bug when I was a kid

Makes me think of the locust of the apocalipse.. specially considering that apparently there are like 11,000 species of locust that we dont know about..

I don't know why but when you said stick insect I instantly got reminded of stick bug meme

*Watches a single "Odd Animal Specimens Video"* Me: "I'm something of a Zoologist myself.

I suffer from entomophobia and this channel suddenly popped up, I've been watching some videos and I'm enjoying them

That ain't an Insect , that's a hell fiend

I was thinking a walking leaf when you zoomed in on the leaf elytra but was also thinking we got a locust but turns out it’s a stick bug

how did the beetle get the elytra he aint even beat the ender dragon

Stick insect of some kind, like a jungle nymph. Similar to Mcleay's specter.

When he said what insect that looks like the bug i was like Preying Mantis

Wow it's surprisingly from my country 😂

crustaceans - ocean of 🥐🥐

before i watch my guess is a jungle nymph

I came for bug I stayed for m y l i g h t

Pre finnishing video I think its part of the stick insect family based on head shape. Edit: woooooo I was right. It is a member of the stick insect family

I knew it before watching the video cuz i keep pet insects

Ewwww he keeps touching it. They don't make gloves thick enough to handle that, not for me anyway. Great vid. Remind me to NEVER GO TO MAYALSIA

We'll, at first I thought it might have been a fish but it turns out the jaw bones are all wrong.

3:40 Shouldn't that be two PAIRS of wings? Lepidopterans have four.

I wish i had that much insect

giant carnivore is maybe the worst clickbait I've fallen for in a while.

I thought it was some kind of stick bug but it turned out to be a leaf bug 😊

it looks like a assassin bug and a locust mixed together

He looks like what the creation king from black sun was based from

Me Immediately after seeing it: *Grasshopper* Continues watching: *OH IT'S NOT*

Bros literally becoming ishowSpeed when angry and raging over his light going out

Its a cincinatty kitty catty

As a Malaysian, i was surprised

i know this is gonna sound wierd but i thought it was a fish...

i immediately recognized it

This is quite hybrid-like. Long antennas and size remind me of the wood/bark eating insect family but the coloring is more towards leaves instead of bark. Those guys have antennas 3 times their body size so this guy isn't it. Leaf eater.

Sorry sir, me think that's a fish!

If you're lucky however, you can somewhat find these little crawlers in the middle of a City Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur

I don't think you need id'ing this stick insect to know that this is Heteropteryx dilatata

SO COOL and also 2nd👁️👄👁️

isopods are also curstacians.

it reminds me of a katydid

It's a jungle nymph. We have loads at my work.

Orthoptera Ortho = straight Pter= wing the order of straight wing insects?

also reminds me of a stick bug

It reminds me oh a hissing jungle nymph

It’s like Pokémon

I hate bugs but your videos are interesting

Actually, Obriminae is a subfamily in the family Heteropgterygidae.

Crustation one is marine creatures with a xo skulletion

this feels like dora the explorer but for adult autistics. im lovin it

There are new ones discovered at times.
