I read this just as a swarm of ants decapitated a preying mantis

I think the insect that can freeze holds a lot of secrets about life's history. Mountain ranges don't appear overnight - similarly, the animals don't adapt in a few generations. It fascinates me to think about the intricacies of the process to adapt over millions of years as the environment changes. We often say things like "this animal is perfectly adapted to x environment" but that completely misses the dynamic aspect of an environment over millions of years.

That's Darwanism. But what if we look throught the ángel that these 'insects' teach themseleves and so have last so long. Telepathically teaching themseleves to the point of living long enough for us to grasp such beauty both genetically and physcially. Just food for thought ay.

@tayloreverard2039

the point of my comment was to point out that we too often simplify things to statements like "that's evolution" or in your case "that's Darwinism" - and to make any reader think one layer deeper, that it's not as simple as "they are from x place, this explains y behaviour or trait," and then to think about how that applies to our own biological responses. I don't think these animals teach themselves to act in this way. You don't teach yourself to breathe, you just do it. @@Sk8erMorris

I know what you're getting at, but adapting and evolving aren't the same. Elephants changing their migration patterns to match changing water distribution isn't evolution, but if it turned out that they have electromagnetic sensory in their big ears that helps them find water, they might get smaller bodies while retaining big ears. That would be evolution. Whether an adaptation has the staying power to become an evolution is determined by how the environment around them changes over those same millions of years. That hopefully colours in my personal perceived grey area of evolution.

Army ants are the best! Another species of ant found in the Amazon forest is the leafcutter ant. Our camera got them on camera, and it's fascinating to see that they're leafcutter but not leaf-eaters. They spend the whole day carrying super heavy leaves around to grow a fungus!

The macro lens work is incredible. No matter what I see on my walk to work, I can't help but smile knowing there's so much going on that I just can't see. There are still wonders to discover.

"Stag beetle throws girlfriend out of tree" but when I do it I go to prison. Smh

You can "fish" for antlion! We here in Florida call them doodle bugs. Get a stick, find some spiderweb or cobwebs attach it to the stick and start fishing! When the antlion grabbed the web it gets stuck! Pull it up and boom, you've caught a doidlebug! Be kind and catch and release! PS We also have the devil sticks that squirt turpentine in Florida! We basically have every kind of scary bug, spider and reptile

Its so intriguing how this small world gets around

I love watching these videos since I was a kid🥰

If it wasn't for the giant beetles I could live at that waterfall for as long as my Shire weed lasted.

that beetle is like real life skyrim giant clubbing you 100ft into the air, and thats not even sarcasm

All those locusts are terrifying 😮

8:58 the smaller stick insect caught in the bigger one's backdraft 😂 man between this and the beetle just yeeting ants left and right, this stuff is natural comedy gold. **takes another puff**

The camera quality is insane.... the intricate detail down to the fine hair on the spider. The 'Kung fu Mantis' vs spider is absolutely stunning detail- the fact the insects look like they'd be massive, the colour and even the detail of the leaf.... Just wow 😊AMAZING 🎉

What a wonderful, vast world of insects

Nothing like a bug background when feeding bugs 😆

the reason that snail can suck down a worm so easily is exactly the thing mentioned at the end, it's "thousand teeth" are effectively a pad that has spikes not unlike a cats tongue, only that a snail is designed to only lick, so it can do it very rapidly. the result is that it looks like suction as its gulping down a worm, but its actually more akin to an eel's second jaw, which pulls whatever it can touch further into the mouth

Man oh man! Whoever had the idea about the popping sound effects for the first clip. Thank you for the laughs. 🙂

The close up camera cameras shots is amazing .very good work

The quality of these visuals show you fine detail you'd never of seen without this absolutely amazing detailed filming.. never ceases to amaze me the deeper look into the lives of something I'd shrug off as a pesky lil ANT , or a basic boring insect, never will i think that again, these insects lives are much more detailed and complex then once thought .. I'm telling you ants will take over the world!!😮😂

The insect that got bit in the leg by the army ants and knew it couldn't move so they moved past it had me dead.

Something about nature documentaries cheer me up when I'm feeling depressed. More so than comedy. It's good to laugh but often the laugh feels shallow. Something's missing. Something deeper. For whatever reason this does it for me.

Those sound effects crack me up.

Gotta say the ants getting kicked was prrtty funny

So I wrote this as I watched the show after it went live 😂 I was at work when you were live, but I have really enjoyed the phylogeny videos and would love to see one about birds! Finding your channel was such a treat for me, I'm always looking for evidence based animal content by experienced and trained staff/creators/etc. Not to take away from content creators without formal educations or training, but I can always be confident of information in a Clint's Reptiles video. If I didn't live on the other side of the country I would love to visit the reptile room! I enjoy all of your content, even videos about amphibians or other non-reptiles (even when they are actually reptiles). Not only is your knowledge on biology vast, but your excitement is contagious. Hearing more about animal consciousness and feelings would be amazing. I'm an animal science major and one of my favorite classes, so far, was animal behavior. Specially reading things that Dr. Griffin has written in regards to animal consciousness. He believed that all animals experience some level of consciousness and feelings, possibly as far back as the 80's.
