    I feel that we should highlight the Horse Fly. When it bites us, it does none of this careful digging or anaesthetic. They just slice/chomp their way in. Hence why the bites are so painful

      Do you think mosquito bite without it's anaesthetic would be painful?

      I was thinking the same thing about horse flies. I would love to know more about them (such as why they bother my children mainly while they are swimming in the pool?!?! 😮 Also, what is the purpose of the bite? Are they taking our blood for their young, etc.? I'm sure I can find all this out with a little research, but I'd love to see a video on it!

  • @jasonvoorhees5180
    @jasonvoorhees5180 3 месяца назад +4

    I think the most incredible adaptation among these animals is how several of them essentially release an anesthetic while biting so it’s not especially “painful” to the host, just irritating and itchy afterwards. If they weren’t so annoying or such prevalent vectors of infectious diseases to us maybe they wouldn’t be so bad.

    • @AncientWildTV
      @AncientWildTV 3 месяца назад +2

Unbeknownst to us, they engorge feeding on us at various places on the body, sucking even through socks and then fall off leaving a trial off blood in our wake when walking ... and because of their anticoagulant effect the blood keeps flowing.
