This channel is WAY TOO underrated he he must have 1 million subs in a year or 2 we must create advertisements or memes

Such a large variety. I didn’t realize caterpillars couldn’t be so dangerous. I won’t be so quick to just touch every fuzzy worm I see. Are the adult forms also toxic?
Thanks for the fun and informative video, noble sir.

You’re back! Panama has so much biodiversity, and a lot of interesting caterpillars!

5:16 is my fav part. look on the right side of the frame, there's another troop of these guys!

[adventureswithdan]

There's so many lovely caterpillars and your video clearly shows this. This video is awesome. The caterpillar with the tiny spots has quite a mesmerizing pattern.

[ChrisWhite]

Great video, nature is fascinating, really good to hear your knowledge and observations

[frankdughtank]

Excellent video they’re all so Strange and Beautiful!

Saddle back. Def my favorite. BTW I love your content. Don't know how your subs aren't higher.

[Stellancorp]

Excited to watch! Will you get a play button for 100, 000 subs?

[katiebarber]

first time in my life seeing a video like this about caterpillars wow

[mazmurlo]

Just want to say I really appreciate the long form videos, outside of the Bay or not.

[everythingaboutnothing]

This is excellent! I'd be happy seeing more of this kind of video!

[Panamenya]

Thank you for respecting the caterpillars and not hurting them. Very interesting video.

[spencerthompson]

Dang that top 3 caterpillar with the shiny blue/gold was incredible.

[GalaxyWarrior]

I had no idea that there were so many of ‘em, thanks for the knowledge man

[stickzthegamer]

The brown caterpillar with horns on the front spits some type of silk simaker to a velvet worm

[jacobcrowley]

Never seen a caterpillar with stripes like the 5:26 caterpillar. Very stylish.

I love you but please stop dislodging caterpillars if you suspect they are about to pupate. I just rescued some monarch eggs from a hell strip about to be weed whacked by the roadside sanitation crew. I will avoid touching them at all and set them free as soon as they get their wings. Please don't be upset with me I am subscribed to your Channel. I appreciate how gently you handle the little guys.

Hey General Apathy I have a little question for you, what places/areas were your favorite to visit? Btw awesome video!
