      Good Video, but you left out the time when Insects were the dominant land animal.
      Back when there was significantly more O2 in the planets atmosphere, insects were much bigger,
      until an asteroid impact reduced the size of the atmosphere, thus forcing the insects to miniaturize because they breath through their skin...

      The only part of Imperial I actually like is Fahrenheit. See, 0-100 in Fahrenheit is the range that most humans can comfortably live in with proper clothing. Anything outside that range is what most people would consider dangerously cold or dangerously hot. As a friend of mine from Alaska once said: "Once it gets below zero, you don't even really feel it, you just die quicker."
      Compare that to Celsius: 0 is a mild winter day while 100 is certain death.

    There are a couple of "mistakes" in the video. For example mosquitos do not exactly feed on blood, they feed on nectar like butterflies, but in some species females, although still feeding on nectar, collect blood in order to produce offspring (most of the species don't even need to do this, for example they might need blood only to increase egg production, or if they want to reproduce a second time in their lifes). The other thing is that butterflies and caterpillars do not share the same ecological niche (as you have said, they develop different feeding strategies and this is precisely so they don't have to share a niche). Nice video!

Also during the Cold War, studies were done to see the amount of radiation an organism can take and a cockroach scored 6400 rads. Also parasitoid wasps can withstand 100,000 rads and some forms of bacteria would be able to take 1,000,000 rads
