PINCHED by an Elephant Beetle!

Back in 2017 the Brave Wilderness crew grabbed their popcorn, sat back, and watch the show. Now, it's time to return to the return to bug theatre!

What’s a bug theatre you might ask? A bug theatre is a common name for an insect “light trap”, where a screen is illuminated at night to attract all sorts of creepy crawlies and bizarre insect species. It is a common practice used by field entomologists around the world!

I love the way Jim said "Coyoteee!" When the bug beetle hit the screen. The pure happiness of wanting his friend to see something he thought was so cool was awesome.

[MrLegaroth]

Jim has unbelievable knowledge and is very interesting to listen to. Thank you Coyote for allowing him to share his knowledge with us.

[cantthinkofnameyeah]

The way the beetle just knocked all those other insects off was insane

[grr]

i absolutely LOVE jims energy 😭😭😭😭 his pure excitement to the beetle had me excited for him.

[ysorandomxp]

Jim needs his own show on youtube! He's so enthousiastic and knowledgable that i'd watch his talk about literally anything

[biosurfoundation]

Thanks for having us! It was a pleasure meeting you all! ❤

[NiceToMeetYouVR]

You can tell how much Jim loves his job just by his sheer childlike joy and excitement when that beetle landed. Inspiring work!!

[AVerySleepyOtter]

As a person who is terrified of bugs, this is actually quite fascinating

[terraforeman]

Jim's freakout when the bug first lands and they run behind curtain is SO raw and pure.

Costa Rica is such a beautiful country. We went on a night tour through the rain forest last year and it was incredible.

[thomaskang]

Man does Heracross know how to make an entrance. The entire Hercules/Rhino Beetle family are THE COOLEST bugs on the planet no question.

[estebancontreras]

So awesome to still see him get excited after 13 years of studying insects

[PixelationMusic]

Jim’s raw excitement seeing the beetle land on the sheet was so wholesome.

[James-bqkx]

This insect video was scientifically fun. Best of all, you were not doing anything unnecessary dangerous . Good job, 👍

[kikiasakura]

The fact Coyote got so excited about the beetle and was like “I don’t know what that means but that’s so exciting!” was adorable. I love the fact he was just as excited about Jim and supported him even though he had no idea what type of bug that was.

[aangoz]

Jim is amazing. So enthusiastic and his excitement when the beetle got there is contagious.

[alliehenke]

That beetle had perfect timing, he definitely understood the assignment lol

[Candy-rxuz]

"Jim, what is the point of the horn on this animal?"

"Yeah, totally"

😂😂😂😂😂

[alldemcats]

These are all so incredible. I wish bugs didn't give me the creeps, but with shows like this, I get to with out actually needing to be there.
