I LOVE robber flies!! What a cool video! I encountered a Beelzebub Bee Eater on my porch last year, it was so huge and fluffy and had the biggest rumbliest buzz ever haha! I have a ton of paper wasps that make nests in my porch and they kept trying to dive bomb it, but it was easily twice their size and it would simply scare them off as soon as it let out that thunderous buzz! It was pretty chill and it let me get some pics (so I could ID it, no idea what it was at first) with my hand right up next to it before I poked it towards a hole in the screen of my porch so it wouldn’t be trapped inside. It gave an angry buzz every time I touched it haha. I’ve always been a big fan of flies but NOTHING compares to the Beelzebub Bee Eater!!
I once had a robber fly ride on my leg as I drove home from work. They just clung on for the whole drive, and didn't even want to leave when I arrived home. Silly freeloader.
The thing is, if the robber fly is really similar to a assassin bug [kissing bugs too, wheel bugs are the biggest type of assassin bug], then don't try to get bitten by any assassin bug, it sometimes carries the parasite "Chagas", and a robber fly could carry other parasites, so if you have the money, you should probably get a parasite blood-test
Just a correction, out of the over 7,000+ species of assassin bugs (Reduviidae), only assassin bugs within the subfamily Triatominae (Kissing bugs) are the only known transmitters of Chagas disease. There’s a little over 140 different species of kissing bugs. The rest of the 6,850 or so assassin bug species are unable to transmit diseases to humans. But as for robber flies, they have never been known to be able to be transmitters of diseases to humans. On a side note, the Wheel Bug (Arilus cristatus) isn’t the largest species of assassin bug. The largest is the Horrid King Assassin Bug (Psytalla horrida). Hope that helped! 😄
These dudes land on me now and then when I'm out for a walk. First time I saw one a few years ago it freaked me out, never having seen one before. Never been bitten by one though, they're always pretty chill when on me.
Outstanding video, brother! One thing, I think the music was way too mellow. That vid should have had Judas Priest's "Eat Me Alive" as the background tune!😂😂😂 Great job, my friend!!
Thanks so much bro! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Yeah lol, I agree. After uploading, I thought the music was a bit too soothing 😅 But I appreciate that you liked the video! 😄
@@XKM265nah dude you just week, I got stung by a cow killer when I was 3 years old, it was no where near as bad as crybaby peckerson made it seem, that guy just spreads fear of insects among little kids and teens who are ignorant to how insects actually operate
@@XKM265You’re lying. You are a gullible child who has zero real world experience, and you sure as hell did not have the guts to get stung by a cow killer on purpose. Sure, it hurts, but it isn’t enough to render you flailing around on the ground. But hey, maybe yours and Coyote’s pain tolerance are just abnormally low, in which case you would be, like the other person said, weak (suspending disbelief here, of course, since I am 95% certain that you did not get stung by anything ever). By the way, Coyote’s pain tolerance likely isn’t as low as yours, he just puts on an act. He made his face all red from a normal Yellowjacket sting.
@@XKM265u havent been stung by a cow killer, but i have been sting by a turantula hawk, and i have to say.. it hurt like hell, but i wasnt groaning over it
I thought I found an oversized mutant of a mosquito once (or "le mosqo" if you will) but its good to know that it isn't that. I wonder if they're as aggressive as horse flies.
How the actual heck are you able to just not even flinch when doing this stuff. Like it is unreal how the heck you're able to just take it and act like just meh. It is actually crazy to me because if I get so much as like a bee sting I cry because I have a very low pain tolerance and then you're just over here like meh not that bad. This is actually insane and adjust absolutely astonishing to me.
It's really amazing that you openly write that a bee sting hurts you that much, I do appreciate that honesty because there's so many people lying on the internet trying to come off as tough.
@@wioi yeah I can handle like stubbing My toe or blunt force damage because I've taken so much of that in my life I've just built up a tolerance to it. But there's just something about stingers and anything sharp poking into my skin that is just Agony for me. I'm not even kidding about the blunt trauma thing the amount of undersides of tables I've hit my head on is ridiculous so my head is just adapted to be hard so that way I can't hurt myself too badly. But then you have things and it's just like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
robber flies are predators, they hunt a lot of small arthropods like flies, spiders, bees, wasps, and even dragonflies The worst part is that when I used to live in Texas, I saw some that were even bigger than this one
As someone with a high pain tolerance who has been bitten by one, it's actually quite painful. I handle tarantulas, venomous spiders, and snakes, poisonous caterpillars, sea urchins, jellyfish, and sting rays. I do not mess with robber flies.
@@kelvinwiley hell yeah, no problem man! I had no idea they got that big😅 when I’m out herping, they are always buzzing past me, super amazing predators to in action for sure!
Those drawings are super tight! I was cleaning up the yard big time today and found two big green praying mantids, maybe Chinese species but I moved them to safety 😎
I doubt you will see this but you should get bitten by the giant prairie robber fly. They are to my knowledge, the largest robber fly in the United States. But I don’t know where you live and you probably would have to fly out to, as you could expect the prairie just to get bitten by a robber fly lol. But just thought I would comment, love your channel and all the animals featured on it.
Ah yes! I’m familiar with that species! Only ever seen pictures of it online since they’re unfortunately not native to my area 😭 But if I ever have the opportunity to see one in person, I’ll definitely record of video of me receiving a bite from one! And thank you so much! Glad to hear that you enjoy my content! I really appreciate it! 😄
@@kelvinwiley I found your channel while I was watching videos about different types of animals. But if you don’t mind me asking what state do you live in if you’re in the United States. I figured you were do to the types of robber flys you featured and among the other species of insects. And thanks for responding most people would not respond, especially because of when i commented.
1: He didn't even rate your bite Dave! 😂 2: WHAT!? NO DUDE! I TOOK DOWN A WHOLE HUMMINGBIRD!😡 1: Ya sure you did! Was it already dead falling when you bit it??? 🤣 2: Man this is *BULLSHIT!*
There is! I didn’t really touch on it on the video, but the thicker part of its mouth is technically the proboscis, with the thin needle-like part that protrudes out is it’s hypopharynx. So its proboscis protects and conceals the hypopharynx inside of it! You can really see this example at 9:19 in the video 😄
I appreciate the video and appreciate you showing off a pretty cool and beautiful looking creature, but I really don't think it's a cool thing what these creatures have to do to their prey to feed the survive on. That is absolutely awful that any creature would have to endure what this Robber fly has to do to them to eat and survive. I cant imagine what it would feel like to be thier prey. That is nightmare material 😥
Some flys in fl can get size my pointing finger and make your blood geyser out fast.I had one that bit me so hard with such a gaping hole that blood shot out onto my arm from a monster size fly that the blood was dripping down my arm.It left a huge scar.This guy is baby size in this videos.😅
It honestly depends. There’s conflicting views on whether or not mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies, ect. are considered venomous by definition. As it stands however, robber flies are the only flies without question that are venomous 😅
@@kelvinwiley Thank you for the reply I appreciate it but I meant in general getting stung or bitten by so many creatures. Like this is probably an unfounded fear but I worry if I get stung by too many creatures that I might develop a allergy to them and then need a medipen if I get stung by one probably stupid I know

Haha I appreciate it man! 🤙🏾
@@kelvinwileyWhat are those black and white bees I see. Can you try to catch it?
People who can just handle bugs with no sweat are superhuman, cant tell me otherwise.
Then call me superman
I love how chill you are about getting bitten and stung. Even the cow killer didn't get much of a reaction out of you.
I appreciate that! 😄
Listen to that wholesome delightful music he’s got playing while carrying a creature from hell.
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏿😂 ikr
the respect you have for these animals when handling them is beyond admirable, salute to you sir!
I appreciate that bro! Really means a lot! 🙏🏾
Great video! I love the miniature robber fly!! soooooo cute!!!

I like their little mustaches

It's the quintessential aspect of the "assassin fly" uniform. Every assassin needs a sweet 'stache.
Im still scared of bugs but i love them from afar. They are literally little beings. 😭 💚kinda cute especially when held..... by someone else.

If the bite wasn’t that bad to you, im sure it’s a 10 on Coyote Peterson’s pain index 💀💀💀
I'm pretty sure Coyote hyper-overreacts for the content

He doesnt if you was stung by a fucking cow killer yiu would cry like an baby you dont know what pain is trust me i tried it myself

Female horse flies require blood. Robber flies eat buggos. So they have no interest in people.
robber flies are timid, won't bite unless they need too.
Seeing and hearing how humble and kind this man is, makes my day better.
7:07 bug said give me second im getting warmed up
Still better than bitten by Robert fly

I asked your background once. My bad, I read it on your description. You kick ass man.
I appreciate it bro! 🤙🏾
He said first fly had weak sauce 😂
As terrifying as these alpha predators are, I'm glad they go for bugs and not for us 😅
Made me laugh when you said
tried to bite myself with 😂
I've seen one of those fly in loops for fun
so it basically slowly turns your insides into a pulp while youre completely immobilized
the music :D
I've never read anywhere that robber flies are venomous, that's fascinating!
A "not that bad" from you is probably a 9 on the pain index for mare mortals
As someone with a high pain tolerance who has been bitten by one, it's actually quite painful. I handle tarantulas, venomous spiders, and snakes, poisonous caterpillars, sea urchins, jellyfish, and sting rays. I do not mess with robber flies.
such a cute little hunter ❤
*Robber fly getting free blood
"Wait, thats legal."
its little beard is so cute 😭
imagine this guy's heart of spirit is very calm to handle some bugs that try to stings and bite him 💀💀
Ok this man got big balls lmao he went and found a monster one to bite him for delight lmao what a crazy but cool guy
love the video great job your like the modern era schmidt
I appreciate that a lot! Thank you so much! 😄

man i really love ur videos
Hes got a bird beak
Coyote Peterson if he was educational:
He is tho
@@Hyraladen *more educational
Pain tolerance levels are different for all. A bullet ant sting is definitely more than 0 reaction.
@@LGS_Person more educational how? You literally get the same facts from both of them
@@Hyraladen I'm gonna put this out now. It's a joke. Sorry for the miscommunication.

Gawk gawk!!
U said it backwards hawk tua hawk tua
I could tell the second robber fly was gonna give you a proper bite as soon as I saw it going crazy inside that jar. That one meant business.

I wanna be like you one day brother
Love the soundtrack btw
Very interesting
Thank you! 😄
It could be since you were recently bitten that your immune response was reduced so you saw less swelling
Hypopharynx I learned a new word today.thanks
bruh, no one gonna comment on him having that demon in his mouth?
You're crazy
What are some ways to distinguish a hypopharynx from a rostrum from a proboscis?
Hello.
The background music made it difficult to hear what was being said at times.
My apologies about that. I’ll definitely try to make the background music not so loud in my upcoming videos! Thank you for your feedback! 😄
Biggest sting was on the ringvinger
light work no reaction?????? BRO
😅
Can you rate these bites
is there difference between hyporharynx and proboscis?
There is! I didn’t really touch on it on the video, but the thicker part of its mouth is technically the proboscis, with the thin needle-like part that protrudes out is it’s hypopharynx.
