Honestly I was riveted, with my hand on my mouth. I never cared so much about an ant more in my life. The "Swishing" noise the thrashing larva made had me hypnotized. Great job Donny KC!

This is peak YouTube . thank you Wild Files

[SpectreOfChar]

Ah yes venomous maggots that eat live prey, so glad I know these exist now

[lindyc.]

Your descriptions, voice and inflections were perfect!
Humorous AND funny! (and educational)
😂

I'm going to have nightmares about sand worms because you presented this so well, great job! Your delivery created an increased amount of anxiety.

These videos are excellent! Short and no filler, all engaging content. Very good narration, too, and obviously the footage is excellent. How many hours of effort go into each? You are releasing so quickly, it's a good thing there are countless insect species to cover.

Soon the channel will be renamed, "The Wild Flies". Excellent production!

This is basically ant lion in worm form. Fascinating.

[stevebennett]

Awesome video. Nature and its animals never ceases to amaze me.

[kkelleytravels]

great mini doc --- love the no bs style

[TheWildlifeBrothers]

These videos keep getting better Donny, your style has really come into its own and I can see why your audience is growing so quickly. I’m totally on board with fly propaganda, they are possibly the most speciose order of insects and the more you look at them the crazier they get. As usual your footage is unbelievable, I really want to get these guys with my macro lens. Killer stuff man!

[friedfish]

Gotta say, this is cleanly done. Sure, you toss in a gimmick or two, but they aren't the usual patronizing YT click baity gimmicks. Kudos.

[grahamhall]

Great research, photography and narration. subd.😃

[russell-dijs]

You enjoy this way too much bro, your voice is the give away! Fantastic!!

[deanmartin]

Thank my sand phobia has just been activated!

[liuqiuokiman]

This brought to mind the “Mongolian death worm” and then you mentioned it! 😂

[jvinson]

I just recently watched all 7 Tremors movies!
