I absolutely love this kind if editing. Both the sounds (especially the piano ones) and the way you included the text and highlighting circles.

The piano sounds are really helpful and nostalgic at the same time. For me it's nostalgic since it feels like one of my childhood learning shows. Helpful for my toddler that I watch this with, cause it keeps her attention

[nosotrosloslobosestamosreg]

Those sounds brought me back to my childhood days.

The piano bits on background is so calming and really makes your video quality very good. Good job, amazing edit 👌👍

The chirping of crickets is so closely associated with the ambiance of the night. It evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for me, bringing back memories of sitting outdoors with family by a warm fire, feeling the gentle breeze, and hearing the crickets in the background as the stars twinkle above.

It is 1 AM and I am watching a video about grasshoppers. Not regretting it at all. Absolutely worth it.

Fascinating. Who knew there was so much to know about crickets, grasshoppers and katydids.

Okay I wasn't sure if it was you but after asking my 7 year old son. He said "yes thats him thats him!" and now he wont stop watching your videos. He loved you in the weird but true and we kept looking for you in other shows and now 3 years later we come across these videos.

What a great video! You're like a Mr. Rogers of science. And I REALLY appreciate the fact that during the whole video you refrained from resorting to ANY storytelling. Sooo refreshing. Keep up the great work!

This feels like a show on PBS Kids or something and I am here for it

[jazzgunter]

These recent videos are nice and obviously a lot of people like them, but I hope you don't totally abandon the wild and frantic energy you had in older ones. Those "what is this skull" and collection tour videos were great!

[Grelk_draws]

Your channel is so underrated I love it I really want to be a zoologist when I’m older

[calebrogers]

Can you PLEASE make a playlist with all the videos that are like this one? It’s so hard to sort through and find them

[LinkinParkEver]

I was impressed about the ears placement!
Also the specimens shown towards the end are just awesome!

[wanderingDelphine]

The way you present your content is so amazingly attractive for viewers of all ages! Your manner of speaking is perfect to lure children in, yet is still able to hold the attentions of adults. The content is also a perfect balance of facts and bits that make it entertaining!

I am an arthropod enthusiast, hoping to become an entomologist when I get older. My favorite bugs are without a doubt grasshoppers and katydids, as they are what sparked my love for arthropods❤ thank you so much for making this video, it was as if it was made for me lol!

[anything]

there's something so classy about how the piano is incorporated into the video. this is my first non short vid of yours that ive seen, and it looks like ill have to binge all the others

[Dragonlord]

[Anuchan]

I love your format, encouraging students to think before being given the answer. Keep up the good work!
