If a super volcano erupted or a giant astroid hit earth destroying humanity could mother nature re-build from the ground up from wear humans left off from destroying it and if so would there still be permanent damage or would there be so much permanent damage that plants and living creatures wouldn't be able to adapt fast enough in new habitats destroying all of what is on earth entirely leaveing it as just rock and dirt in space and nothing less

I wondered how the assassin bug evolved that layer of grease. Was it specifically for maneuvering the carnivorous plant? Or was it for another reason and happened to be a beneficial side effect?

My bet is that it helped keep them safe from fungal spores or something, it seems like insects always have to worry about that kind of thing.

also if the environment they live in is very wet an extra layer of grease can help them maneuver easily.

I know about a species named Nepenthes albomarginata, that literally cultivates certain termites. the termites protect the plant and keep it free from locusts, but also sends large groups of its own workers into the pitchers just to feed them.

I love this type of content, reminds me of how the Discovery Channel used to be. Really nice to see this level of quality from a smaller youtube channel

If I’m correct, nepenthes bicalcarata CAN digest prey by itself since is has gastric juices, but it’s juices are weaker than other pitcher plants and it benefits greatly from the ants 🐜. But the other plant needs the Assassin Bug to digest for it because that plant has no digestive enzymes. Good video btw

The production quality of this channel is unreal; keep it up!

This channel really needs more recognition. Never heard about this symbiotic relationship before and yet again another fascinating video with some amazing camerawork! Love it guys, can't wait for your next one!

Me sleeping peacefully: My mind : wanna see an ant cleaning a serial killer's house

Very interesting video, but Camponotus schmitzi and it’s relatives were incorporated into their own genus, Colobopsis, in 2016. They’re commonly known a cork-head or stopper ants due to the cork-like heads of major workers that they use to block the nest entrance with. Still though, great video! :)

3:10 its actually really ez for an ant to escape just watch ants Canada's:"ants vs carnivorous plants" Spoiler warning! The golden empires ants are ever-learning and they place random stuff like fly wings into the plant and the plant provides them with a sweet secretion at the plants so called 'lips' and the ants 'yellow crazy ants' feed the plants and when they become old they become safe but at the start they eat some ants. Edit: oh yeah yellow crazy ants are good swimmers.

Foley on the assassin-bug is too much. But it was good up to that point. Those high pitched noises on the legs/plant interacting, hurts your ears with headphones in

Any of you know, where to buy that Nepenthes, which also included that ants colony, for sale?

lmao. Too "vicious"... You meant "viscous", pronounced "visk-kuss". I spit my drink out at that...

Ngl, the plant at the start got chonky.

Assassin bugs are awesome for killing flies like this.
