I swear the more I learn about insects the more glad I'm not one of them. Shits like the apocalypse.

I was on a Date one time, and she Figged about her past. Waspretty irritating. Unlike a bee in my bonnet, she continually got under my skin, and kept poking…

Ok I thought I was going to have to put away the *Fig Newtons* forever.

I've come to the conclusion that the male in any species gets screwed over no matter what😂 😆🤣

Those wasps really said “sweet home Alabama”

[Paul_ici]

Remind me to never eat anything fig related again 😭

So why do bugs not have problems with inbreeding like other animals

“Any fig wasps that are left over are reabsorbed by the plant so you’re not really eating them” UMM YES TF YOU ARE LMAOOO they’re still in there one way or another 😂

Best explanation I have Nowhere did I find that the males emerge first and that attacked by ants, leaving the females free to get away. Thank you much much much :)
So I assume that the females just go off and lay more eggs right away? Wondering - do they sting if agitated ? Have a great day. :) 💙🌷🌱

And there's actually people out there eating that nightmare abomination nest.

"Big brother youre so big"...😳

Bet those male wasps could've escaped but they just had to let the ants know about how their penis is 3 times the size of their own body.

Nature is awesome love it you should do one on mud dabbers you might freak people out😅

[scottplested]

Hey since you’re also doing videos on jumping spiders, can you talk about how they interact with pitcher plants? I’ve got a couple pitcher plants and a get phids that live in them and don’t fall in. Cool symbiosis going on.
