The bug that poops candy - George Zaidan

--

Aphids can reproduce incredibly fast: they can make 20 new generations within a single season. And that means lots of poop. Some aphid populations can produce hundreds of kilograms of poop per acre— making them some of the most prolific poopers on the planet. We know this poop as the sweet, syrupy liquid called honeydew. George Zaidan explores the wonderfully weird life of an aphid.

Why can I tell that the animators had fun with animating this just by reading the title

[DeBlauweOlifant]

Me: I should really start studying
Also me: Hey lets watch this video about a candy pooping bug

[PhoobieDoodle]

I love how they didn’t name her something cliche like “Annie” or “Abbie” the Aphid and randomly chose Mabel lol

4:31 I was smiling ear to ear with how he casually revealed that he's the narrator and the creator of this lesson.

[WFHRUG]

This is simultaneously the weirdest and most interesting thing I have seen all day.

[soupnikoniko]

The funky music, the twerking bug, the happy narration **chefs kiss**

Why does the music sound like they're explaining a plan in a heist movie?

[MNelson]

Me: "The world is falling apart! I need something to take my mind off things."

Me: *pikachu face*

[JoeDeRosasMainDitch]

Ant: "Can we have Candy?"
Aphid: "We can have candy at home."
