STUNG by the GIANT Silk Caterpillar!

Did you know that more people die from caterpillars than sharks, lions, and bears combined every year? Coyote, Mario, Trent and Jim venture deep into the Costa Rican wilderness again to illustrate just how strong the stinging bristles from these tiny creatures can be. In this episode, Coyote debuts the brand new CATERPILLAR STING PAIN INDEX! You know what that means, Coyote Pack... This may be the first caterpillar sting, but it won't be the last 👀

As soon as he said "he was the last remaining male" in his family I immediately thought maybe they were all up to similar activities lol

[omnirath]

"I’m not feeling anything yet…. Gnaga gagougnaarharhar a" Famous last words

[Pappixx]

Last male in bloodline proceeds to encounter dangerous species of animals lol

My 8 yr old daughter has recently found your videos and absolutely loves them. She says she likes to watch it but feels bad for you because of all the stings and bites. She wanted me to write a comment asking you if you would consider getting stung by a white marked tussock moth caterpillar.
Thank you for creating awesome content for kids and adults.

I would absolutely wear a shirt that says "Hot diggity dog, it's Caterpillar Sunday"

Hullo, big lepidoptera enthusiast here. You referred to this species as simply the "silkmoth caterpillar" but there's a bunch of silkmoths. The one we farm for silk is Bombyx mori, the domesticated silkmoth, but the Lonomia electra in this video belongs to the family Saturniidae, or the "giant silkmoths" family, which includes iconic moths like the luna moth. Most Saturniid moths aren't venomous as caterpillars, such as the luna moth, cecropia moth, polyphemus moth, emperor moth, imperial moth, etc which are all completely harmless. Even the "hickory horned devil, " the regal moth caterpillar which is covered in dangerous looking spines, is completely harmless. However, Saturniids in the genuses Lonomia and Automeris do tend to be venomous.

Bee: *Stings Coyote*
Coyote: *laughing*

Dude's got a really high pain tolerance lol.

[karintowers]

Bro's immune system at this point will never let him know the meaning of feeling ill again💀

[alpergezgin]

"Time flies when you're in pain" He must be the first person to ever say that

[notflanders]

"time flies when you're in pain" said only one man ever...

[the_hce]

Coyote Peterson never misses when it comes to the sting zone🔥

[kross]

Honestly Jim needs to be a constant on this show if he has time, love how passionate the dude is about bugs!

[theemeraldblaze]

Finally some moth representation in the Sting Series. I love those lil guys, easily my favorite bug

[milchesarreal]

Coyote: Im not feeling anything yet


The lil silkmoth fren: *wait for it~*

[Bert-jzjb]

“Hot diggity dog its caterpillar Sunday” I petition you post all caterpillar videos on Sunday and are required to say that right before contact. 😂

[mavzdog]

We’re starting a new era and I’m here for it

[MrSharkSaver]

I took an Ancestry DNA TEST for my birthday, I was blown away by the results. It took a month for the results but it was worth the wait and it even isolates the regions of which country your ancestors were. I would recommend it to a friend.

[ILikeSkulls]

Feels like electricity, from what I remember lol. It looked fuzzy so of course I gave it a good petting

[ynrkszh]

Coyote when he gets shot by a bullet: mmm I don't feel anything

[TocharaehD]

Welcome back to the tribe, Coyote! 2:25
