Regarding Moths, the reason that they seem so suicidal is actually because of human interference. They instinctively use light sources as navigation sources, typically in crepuscular times (Dawn and Dusk), when the sun is not moving as much. However, they can't tell the difference between the sun and a lamppost or fire, so they just circle around those light sources because they are confused by them.

That has nothing to do with a beetle's defenses and is entirely just physics. It's the old saying: the bigger you are, the harder you fall.

While you are correct that ants, bees and wasps are picked due to their high popularity, it's also what's making them so strong. Since they gain the passive ability "Colonizing", they gain a multiplier to their attack, intelligence and speed when near a team group, catering to new players, gaining more popularity and therefore increasing the efficiency and power of this types of insects. This however brings the major drawback of the passive status "Loneliness", which causes the insects speed, attack, defense, and intelligence to be halved and locks all abilities and attacks when separated from a team group. This causes a easy to learn insect for new players, but causes other insects to be pushed out of the meta, causing the "Extinction" state, permanently deleting all data on that insect, making the meta more and more skewered to the favor of ants, bees and wasps.

I thought "colony" players were playing the RTS integration and expansion, where they're playing as the whole colony instead of a single entity, with their actual player character being the queen ant, wasp, bee, ect. I mean I've seen at least 100 new colonies around my job mini game location... One of which I've been rather shamelessly using as an inventory cleaner for my leftovers or bits of lunch that I don't need or can't save for later, giving them a rather unfair advantage over the other colonies around the area thanks to the constant supply drops but my point still stands, surely every single ant can't be an individual player right? Oh God I'm not gonna be reported for allowing a favoritive exploit for players of other factions am I?

I can't believe you were right on the money with the Trapinch guess, because that group, specifically the antlion, is the Flygon line's basis.

For what it's worth, female mantis eating the male during or after mating is not nearly as common as some people think. Mantis are cannibalistic in general, males just tend to be smaller than females and if the female rejects or does not recognize his advances, she's liable to just eat him the same way he would if he had the opportunity and was not trying to mate. If they actually do mate then he has a good chance of surviving. Early studies are mantis breeding were flawed because the researchers did not give captive mantises the opportunities for courtship and escape that they have in the wild.

I would like to see you react to more tierzoo.

i have no clue if patterz is doing this as a character or something but its hilarious to me how he takes literally everything at face value

Mosquitos count as flies, so ðey are A-Tier.

Since I know someone's going to be confused regarding bug terminology, I wanted to clarify some things. "Bug" and "Insect" do not mean the same thing. An insect is a type of bug. Bugs can include insects, arachnids, etc. Insects and arachnids are otherwise not related. Likewise, "Arachnid" and "Spider" are not the same thing. All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. Scorpions are also an example of arachnids. Also, for those questioning what the deal is with hornets being absent, they weren't. Hornets are a type of wasp.

Remember eusocial animals, wolves, lions and humans have pact tactics as a hidden ability so they can very be overpowered, in main and side story quests.

TierZoo is definitely a channel I would like to see more reactions from.

It's important to note that bees are only really struggling in places they aren't native to.

One day my sister and I was playing badminton and I accidentally hit a blue dragonfly and then after that we tried to nurse it back to it’s full health, but then one day it just disappeared and we still don’t know if it died or not, I also forget what we named it too.

Mospitoes are a type of fly. He just saw one bute a flamingo. They are indeed on the list.

i love tier zoo, such sick videos

God i love your review gamifiying it even more 😂

Love that channel!

As an audio listener, these longer videos, are fantastic. Wish the original video was longer.

The animal that caught the frog is called toe-biters (other names include: giant water bugs, Indian toe-biters, electric-light bugs, alligator ticks, or alligator fleas) is a Belostomatidae, and yes it has a very strong bite and a toxin that can kill certain animals, even in humans its bite is considered one of the most painful in the world, it is so painful that many people are paralyzed by the pain! This insect is very common in South America.

I am surprised fleas did not get a mention in the tier list. The flea build has an insanely high defense stat that not even a human build can break it with the Squeeze attack, I tried it myself, and my father even tried equipping a hammer for extra damage for invading players in my family's old base before I started playing, but the hammer proved ineffective against the fleas' strong armor. Also I got really bad rng recently and got afflicted by a cold debuff right after the Christmas event, and even though I have consumed several stacks of Hot Tea for healing, its effect persists still now. It must not have many layers left, I have quests to do for my guild in 3 days to level up my Chemistry skill so I can advance to the higher level daily quests with better rewards, at least once I find quest givers willing to hire me. Such bad rng to get the cold debuff just as the new expansion begins, I hate this game sometimes.

33:30 I'm a bee main and they deserve s tier. Not only can they fly and have the eusociality perk but they are also a huge support member. Not only to plants but to the most game breaking build in the game being humans.
