- This is not a dragonfly. It's a different insect, with smaller eyes, that rests with its wings open. It's called a damselfly. This video explains the differences between a dragonfly and a damselfly.

Please never change your sound effects they have me hooked and relaxed
Same
Sounds a lot like zelda botw sound effects
Agreed! I was just about to come say how wonderful the little piano notes where in this short ☺️
You'd love Mr roger's neighborhood then, a clear inspiration :)
Right!!😮😮😊

Same, so entertaining and nostalgic feeling
The music does it for me

I've been watching this videos like 30 minutes... This makes me feel happy, like I'm 4 years old again

This guy’s voice combined with the chords makes me feel calm, makes me love insects more
Makes me feel like a child again
"Is it a fish? "
"I think it's a

"first, I'll count the teeth"
It's a fish in California.
Bro, i was about to comment this!

Why does he sound like he’s on sesame street.
He's on damsel street.
He’s walking on Sesame Street with 7 damsels right beside him.
Fr bro I’m on booms and it’s got me fucked up
It wasn’t like this before. Honestly this is a good addition making it seem like we’re children 😂
he used to work on a children's show so it makes sense
Makes me really stupidly happy to have had an insect phase when I was younger
I have one as an adult
Same, but it never went away.

It's "an" innocent child, not "uh" innocent child. You use the indefinite article "an" preceding a noun that begins with a vowel.

Literally 😭
In my childhood literally everybody thought their dragon flies baby

“this…” 🎹
“is…” 🎹 🎹
“a dragonfly.” 🛎️
“uh-“
All these years I thought damselfly is just a baby dragonfly
All these years I never really thought about it. Both were dragonflies to me. I usually saw the big ones.
I never saw damselfly
From what I remember, they are of the Ordinate (probably spelled wrong) family and Dragonfly are males, Damselfly female. Just sexual dimorphism.
Same bro
@@thegamingbegginers5777this guy's next video explains how a Chihuahua is not a baby pitbull
I really like the way he speaks to us like we're children, as well as the little piano noises that play in the background, brings me back to when i was a kid watching similar educational videos!
290th like! :3
@@jacktellner646and…?
The piano noises kind of help me remember the information, which makes me like these videos even more.
Giving Mr. Roger's vibes!
What it actually means is you're a slave you hasn't progressed mentally since childhood. Don't mean to put you down at all but you're being used like a slave and you have no idea
The augmented chords my guy plays really puts impact behind his words when he teaches
Aww that’s so cute. A damsel fly and a dragon fly, two halves of a common fairytale plot.
now we need a knight-in-shining-armourfly
This video heals my inner child, feel like I am watching those educational videos for little kids and captures that sense of wonder!
Those poor real, current children though, with global insect populations down 40% in just the last decade alone
So real!
Yeah except that insects are creepy. Even as a kid this would be creepy. That SpongeBob butterfly episode was the scariest episode.
@user-nj6bt5gy4s For me, that episode made me burst out in laughter when they zoomed in because in my little kid brain humor was loud = funny.
.
I love the way he explains it, instead of just blurting information like he's high on cocaine.
Except where he said the first one has “big eyes” and then goes on to say “the big-eyed insect” referring to the other insect
I love this too but the Vsauce way hits different
@@JayRHoodwell it's Vsauce 😂 he's insanity incarnate
So many shorts creators barely know anything about what they're talking about and just read off the wikipedia page, so I love the occasional one that's really passionate.
@@absolutezerochill2700 Honestly, I'd say it's even worst than that. Most short creators that pop up are very clearly AI generated bullshit made for quick content. Especially the ones about videogame fact's and "what ifs". I remember watching a Fallout 4 "what if you did this instead" video that literally just went on and on running in circles around the subject for 2 minutes.
i suffer from severe C/PTSD due trauma i endured as a child. i used to love dragonflies, but the person who harmed me also loved them, and had things with them on it everywhere, so i eventually learned to "hate" them, because i associated them with her.
i don't know why, but this video made me feel the same way i did before... everything. i remembered the first time i ever had a dragonfly land on me. i haven't remembered much of the good parts from that time in a good, long while. i haven't felt the same wonder i once held for the world for even longer.
thank you for giving me hope that things can always get better, and that humans always have the ability to learn, grow, and change for the better.
i really like this video! thank you for making it!
I hope you are doing well now. 🫂
I don't know what you have been through previously. But i wanted to say, I'm sorry that you have to experience that. I hope you'll become stronger and happier in life. ❤️
Hope you’re doing better now. I’m so sorry you had to go through that ❤️
It's unfair that you had to endure whatever that asshole put you through. Imagine giving someone PTSD, pathetic piece of trash, no sympathy for those people. Glad you understand that it isn't the dragonflies fault. Hope things are better, and stay that way.
Well, that sucks.
The first part, I mean.
"I caught a damselfly! Now it's a damselfly in distress!"
Lol that joke's kinda sweet for no reason
Animal crossing!
Who is gonna save her now?? A.. dragonfly? Wait, this is kinda twisted around...
i think it’s cute we have a dragonfly and a damselfly, it’d make a great children’s story book about rescuing a damsel from a dragon
Growing up my Nana always called damselflies fairy's
Cool I idea! also the dragonfly gonna be smart,brutal,scary,stealthy,strong,durable like Predator
@@Nyx_Fey_awww, that’s adorable!!
Where is the knightfly?
@@cevatkokbudak6414lol the difference between girl's storybook ideas and boy's in a nutshell
Dragonflies are the most efficient predators in the world
Besides the crooks at the White House.
Dragonflies is an apex predator ever since its birth. Iirc theyre also top predator when in larvae stage in the water.
Didn’t know they were Minecraft youtubers
@@somusai tf ur on about?
@@nytt1256 talking about dragonflies being predators
Whe I was a kid I thought that the Damselfly was the baby version of the Dragon fly. 😅
Totoo hahah
Me too😅
I remember a time when I was about 7 yrs old, I went on a field trip with my parents, and there was a lake.. I jumped in and set down..I looked away for a moment and then a dragonfly was on my knee. I screamed louder than ever….it was BLUE.
@Alex-op5jwWhat🤨
ive never been a guy into biology.
I dont see these often where I live so i thought damselflies were the baby version of dragonflies too.
god im 20 now never knew about this. I can blame pokemon tho. reinforced the whole headcannon I had about dragonflies having 2 forms
It's not a dragonfly. It's a dragonrun.
No, it's a dinowalk
No, it's a bird
Ironically, dragonflies can't walk, and neither can damseflies.
@@phryg2035you’re not fun at parties, i don’t even need to ask
Dragonborn
All my life I thought damsel flies are the early stages of a dragon fly.
Same.. thought they would just grow bigger. Now I know most of time I wasn't catching dragonfly. Dragonfly also bites..so they bit scary.
I absolutely love the new addition of piano and calming, euphoric instrumentals.
Really makes you want to learn and adds to the amazement.
These sound effects remind me of watching PBS shows as a kid. I love it
you only need a piano to play such effects
Me too.
Animal Crossing taught me about this one!
Damselfly are weird
YOOO SAME
Bro I swear what is animal crossing every time I hear abt it it has something new💀💀
@@denofgames2072 You can catch bugs and fish to be sold/donated. One of the bugs is a damselfly! It's new to Horizons though, don't think it was in any before that one

Damsel in distress
"This is a dragonfly"
No, this is a corpse :)
damn 😂
Never in my life have i been explained something in such a soothing manner
Fun fact, in Spanish the damselfly is called "hell's horse" literally translated
Funny, that reminds me that spider wasps in Brazil are also called cavalo-do-cão (literally, dog's horse, but cão is also used to refer to the devil (cachorro is usually preferred over cão when referring to dogs), so a more correct translation would be "devil's horse" haha)
not sure why, but i cried a little watching this! i really liked the tones and jingles in the short, as well as the way you let the viewer take in the information slowly! awesome!
Spent the whole short going
“A damselfly”
“A damselfly”
“A damselfly”
“A damselfly”
“A damselfly”
“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH”
I love your videos so much! The slow-paced content feels like a much needed break from all of the videos out there that are just quickly throwing random things at you
Getting major Mr. Rogers vibes with that calm soothing voice that suddenly makes me feel safe and all is okay while he is talking😇😍😂
Animal crossing taught me this one
I caught a damselfly! Now it’s a damselfly in distress!
I hope theres a princefly to help em 😂😂
@@diahcantika5306 😂yes hopefully
I really really appreciate that u speak slowly. I lose concentration a lot (like during and in between every word) and that gives me time to remember the last word u said and focus again. Thank u!!
I like this guy. He talks to us like we're children on his classroom.
😂😂😂
So when's recess :)
Basically, when I listen to him, I am a child in his classroom ❤
These videos remind me so much of Mr. Rogers and other shows I watched as a kid, the same shows that drove me to become a Biologist.
I hope these videos will continue to educate today's youth for years to come. Thank you.
The voice over, the piano music, the visuals. This is the content I need to enjoy my tea and Sunday morning too.
the fact that I called it a damsfly at first because I knew it was a trick
"Thiss isss...."
"A FISH!"
"A dragonfly"
"Oh..."😅
"That's not right!"
"HUH???"
Why are dragonflies?
🤔
Quite the damsel in the distress
Oh my distress!🐵
That’d be about 500 bells
She needs knightfly to defeat the dragonfly, and bring her back to the kingfly!
His voice is so calming and nice to listen to
I love these bug shorts... Bugs in general of course, but the calmness and slowness in these shorts is so relaxing, and it kinda makes me feel like I'm a kid again. Just educational bug facts, simple and fun
I've always called that a needle dragonfly since it's slimmer unlike the big dragonflies. 🤣
Immediately went “Oh hey a damselfly!” I knew that obscure knowledge would be useful* one day
*definitions of useful being twisted a bit
my grandma was wrong, I never had my mouth sewn shut by a dragonfly for swearing.
Bro made me feel like a little girl again watching a tv learning things❤
As someone interested in ecology, I could literally watch your videos all day please never stop making them!!
He sounds like Mr Rodgers 🤭!! anyways, the bug never stays put long enough to notice ☺️...
Oh I really love the little background piano hints..it adds to learning
And the other one is a "damn so fly."
I love his voice it’s so soothing 😅 Im actually invested in the animals he discusses❤
As a former kid who loved catching damselflies and labeling them as "dragonflies" because the dragonflies are harder to catch, this brings back so much memories..
Hey! I was a former kid too! Small world! 😂 Except it was like 50 years ago. Okay 55 if we're talking kindergarten.
Maybe we knew each other. 😮
This just gave me a huge nostalgia hit. This is the only thing I actually knew, because when I was really young in my old garden we had HUGE amounts of beautiful damsel flies in the garden (mostly in a specific area as well) and you could watch the local dragonflies which were so much bigger and so majestic hunt the damselflies. Thank you for posting this video :)
There's a certain kind of dopamine hit you get when you can tell its a Damselfly even before he says it's not a Dragonfly
I feel like this is something that plays between shows on adult swim at 4am
I already knew that damselflies and dragonflies are two separate insects but it was nice for someone to properly explain the differences.
Animal crossing is the whole reason I recognized a damselfly right away
LOL the dragon flys mouth look funny😂😂😂
Dragonfly ❌
Damselfly ❌
Helicopter ✅✅💀😂😂
lol
Стрекоза 😄
Yeah, there are types of Odonata that look almost identical to the dragon fly, family of zigópteros (Zygoptera) (since I speak Spanish, I had to find the English name of the family), they are also* called devil horses, and other differences on the wings are the patterns, they have a tainted area in the wings, aside from most thing that you have mentioned 🥺💕
I learned about this when I was originally looking for bee information, but I have found an entire digital book about insects in my place where I live, aaaaaaaand my curiosity peek about them
There’s a variety of Damsel Fly in an area I used to hike, that is so black it shines iridescent blue. Even its eyes are black. Only labelled as a Damsel Fly in my insect field guide, but I’m sure there’s a guide out there somewhere that can identify these shiny little guys! I have purple and blue varieties in my gardens, and they’re friendly little critters, but the huge Green Darner is my fave of the bunch. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Thank you for making your videos as gentle and as calm as it could be. I feel like 5 years old again and I love it! 🥰🩷🌸
In the Philippines we called it Tutubing Karayom. While the dragonfly is Tutubi
And if it's a bigger one (like waaaaaaay bigger than regular sized one), we call them "Tutubing Kalabaw" (Carabao Dragonfly).
In France we Call it a « demoiselle » which means « Young lady » and dragonfly are called « libellule » demoiselle are pretty common here and they are pretty easy to deferenciate with dragonfly
in spanish we call "libellules" libélulas !! almost the same, how curious :]
I love damselflies. They remind me of the time I was swimming in a canal, a warm summer’s day, damselflies fluttering to and fro above my head while little fish swam alongside me. It was like something out of a fairytale…
…that was until I ended up in some deeper and choppier water, and couldn’t pull myself out and was too exhausted to swim back. Thankfully an old man was walking by and helped me out of the canal, I was panicking and starting to take on water so I’m glad he showed up when he did! Still have a scar on my foot from where my feet got cut up on rocks trying to climb out lol
when you need to fill the 500 words gap before giving the actual answer
This is therapeutic bro
damselfly is easy to catch and it's so cute 😍🩵
They are both beautiful
The length, colour and shape of their bodies too. (Damsel flies are normally blue)
The piano reacting to him saying it wasnt a dragonfly was just perfect
Bro's testing my patience but I thanked him for the info.
I feel so comforted when watching these videos its reminds me of mr. rogers.
for all these years, my dumb ass brain thought Damselfly was a baby Dragonfly 😅😅😅
i’m going to cry this is such a peaceful, calming, informative video. thank you
This guys voice and timing is so soothing.
I love how calming the video sounds sounds
(And also the fact it automatically sends me to little space and all my stresses just dissapear momentarily lol)
This short made me remember all the butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies I've caught and tortured and killed when I was a kid. I feel so bad right now 😭
Dragonflies are my favorite insect ever. Love these shorts, oddly comforting
That was such a good lullaby that I actually slept like a baby while watching.
He's gentle like he just took away all of my traumas
This made me feel uncharacteristically calm. I’ve never felt better. I feel no need to explain.
The dragonfly’s face is making me uncomfortable 💀
I immediately went 'that's a damselfly' felt stupid when he said it was a dragonfly and then felt smart again when he revealed it was in fact a damselfly
It's oddly satisfying how he whips these preserved insect specimens and presents them in a manner that's similar to children's shows on morning TV.
Bro cured my brainrot 💀
I saw these damselflies all the time and used to think it was a different type of dragonfly
I usually know what creatures you show, but I appreciate the calming and educational content
I just realized that these sound effects are reminiscent of kids' educational cartoons. Like Noggin, that's why they are so soothing to hear. The calm way he speaks and the sound effects are curated in a way that our brains find most appealing when learning.
It gave me a jumpscare when he showed the eyes suddenly 😢😅😂
I swear when i was 8, i've seen a dragonfly rest with its wings closed
“This is a dragonfly”
“Uh that’s not right”
Me: *its a damselfly*
Despite already knowing this info about damselflies vs dragonflies, I watched this whole short (and soon the whole linked video) because it’s so polite, clear, and welcoming! It reminds me a lot of educational TV shows for children, in the best way possible!
I love how hes talking to us like we’re toddlers.Sometime you just need to leave that title of being an adult
Bro took "explain it to me like I'm a golden retriever" to another level
Yo you give blues clues vibes so hard. Bringing me all the way back to my childhood. And I’m gonna show my kids these as well. Thank you for your creative teaching
the dragon flys face:👁️🐹👁️
👄
The sound design and his cadence in speech give me after school educational kids show nostalgia
