creepiest thing was seeing that spider slowly move to grab its prey. "a grasping hand" is the perfect description for it.

[CamJames]

favorite part of this series is the exaggeration. man called a Katydid a "mobile medieval torture chamber" lmaooo

[IsaahL]

At 6:26 - 6:38, that move the Wandering Spider did was really something. I've never seen a spider move like that to catch a meal.

[FreezingTheMind]

32:42 "The katydid flys off to rethink its strategy."

Camera man - "Oops, the katydid flew away guys. Someone grab it and put it back near the spider."

I love how passionate the doctors are when they talk. You can tell they love their job.

[noahbishop]

“A colony of army ants vs-“ Yeah it’s a wrap...

crab: what a good day


ants: bouta end this crab day

[thecoatedloony]

Even without seeing the crab vs ant battle, I know the crab is a lost cause.

[PhillipE]

whoever made this series is genius because i always search bug battles up on youtube but they made it into a whole ass dramatic show. iconic

[okaminotamashi]

does anyone notice that crabs always got their ass kicked?

[birdsseeghosts]

So insects are having a battle royale every day

[talkalot]

18:44 Wow you guys really took down a crab huh?, well wait till you meet my little pet. *takes a bucket of water*

[Asadullah]

5:22 This spider is so fast I lowered YouTube playback speed to 0.25 and it still looked like normal speed.

Didn’t know Johnny Sins was now a biologist!. Guess everyone saw it coming.

[rachaeloliver]

One of the best shows that I have ever seen helps me work on my schoolwork and gives me a distraction when I am frustrated or angry.  I love how it shows their hunting techniques and showing what weapons/defenses they have.  LOVE IT!

[zsrlabelle]

I.have to give props to the mantis, they always ready to fight anything

[tylerberry]

When I spray people with my "sticky gun" I'm usually asked to leave 🙄

[aidansrandomstuff]

Imagine being an ant with your colony with stingers and mandibles to kill something 10 times bigger than them just to meet a bored 8 year old and get squashed in an instant

[K.Marie]

Dr. Rayor is so enthusiastic, it must be a riot to be in any of her classes.

[papanurgle]

Holy hell if insects were the size of humans we'd never have survived.
