I think the BBC missed an opportunity here. The importance of 17 was missed: It's a 'relatively' large Prime Number. Some predators might also have breeding cycles longer than one year. The number 17 is a number than cannot be relied upon by any predator with a breeding cycle of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc years. But 15, 16 or 18 years would make them more vulnerable to two or more of these much shorter cycles. Yes, a breeding cycle of 1 year catches everything, but they generally cannot afford to wait 17 years for a big meal. The fascinating question is how did Cicadas evolve to for their biology to count up to 17? (and why not 11 or 13?) The BBC didn't try to explain.

You ain't a kiddin'! Can you imagine all the work (and equipment) that went into the Stag Beetle video? The footage showing the beetles tree climbing POV required a camera attached to a cable with a pulley. All the shots of defeated beetles, sailing back to the (re)starting point, must have taken a few days, as those weren't just different shots of the same beetle cruisin' downward! Nope, those are all different beetles! Lots of competition for the one girl - she must be a real honey, from a bug-eyed perspective! I can't see it... I mean, she's nice looking, and all, but no Venus de Buglio, IMO...

The cicadas 😅

I remember before kindergarten when I was very small I had a baby sitter missy. She was maybe the most prolific person when It came to swearing and being crazy. I found a giant zebra slug and I was studying it and she walked up and instantly stomped it under her foot. It really really really upset me, one second I have a slug friend and the next second it's splattered. I haven't thought of that In a very long time.

If the jaws of the male stag beetle were pointing upwards, it reminds me of Loki 😅😅
