this looks bad but if i were a caterpillar id take this over having a wasp sting eggs into me and have to feel them hatch and eat me alive
I see you saw that video before this one as well
That's where I came from.
So we came from the same place. Alright
We all seem to be getting from the same place huh
Cool me tooo
Humans See a Butterfly: "How majestic! How beautiful! How delicate!"
Butterfly See Another Butterfly: "Ahh, so you escaped Hell as well."
Lol yeah caterpillars have it the worse. Every butterfly is a war vet
Sucks to be caterpillar. Virus, Wasps, fungi, bacteria etc and nothing really as defense. Salute to all Butterflys that survived to be a Butterfly
The worst is that they live for few days once butterfly... Between 24h hours and 3 days. Which is really short compared to what they've to go through to survive as a caterpillars :c !
@@sylphephilippe449 better be Born as Dragonfly. Live 3 Years as a Nymph with a shootable jaw and eat or get eaten
And moths, too, for that matter.
Don't feel too bad for them. If MOST of them didn't get eaten, many other animals, possibly including US, would starve to death after they ate up 90% of the plants around. It's all about balance.
@@sylphephilippe449 Actually, their lifestyle is genius! They spend most their lives living to do nothing but eat and stay safe without a single though of doing anything else...just eat and grow, eat and grow. Then, when theyre big enough, they pupate to become adults, who care only about one thing: Staying alive just long enough to find a mate and lay eggs. Some groups don't even have mouthparts or digestive systems as adults, they don't need them, and having extra organs which aren't being used but still take up energy is a waste. Instead they convert tissues which aren't important for reproducing to fat stores, which are then used to produce wings and sex organs and provide energy for mating.
Another thing about complete metamorphosis is the fact that the young don't compete with the adults for resources. Yes, it's sad that the adults don't live very long, but thus just makes their existence all the more precious.
Humans: OMG we have coronavirus, 2020 is doomed!
Caterpillars: We. Must. Climb.
Hahahaha so funny
Lol
Imagine if THIS virus mutated and jumped to humans... "Suddenly, one of the patrons in the restaurant starts coughing and choking. A few people nearby run to his aid, but it is a mistake. Within seconds, the poor man's eyes roll back in his head, his body swells and bloats... And then explodes, showering the room with droplets and globules of infected pus. The newly infected all scream and try to flee, but the staff have already sealed the doors. No one must be allowed to leave, because even a single infected person will find themselves irresistibly compelled to go to the most crowded place they can find before the virus triggers its death explosion."
Okay, now your just trying to make a horror story.
@@Zaxares Meh.... we have rabies, a virus that drives an infected individual to attack others, biting them and thus spreading the virus. Virus works on all mammals be it dog, raccoon, bat or human. It is the rage zombie virus but without the fast acting infection.
what a strangely poetic video. imagine a mysterious force taking control of your brain, telling you you need to climb higher and higher until your limbs start to melt. you want to fight against it, but your vision starts to blur as you reach for the skies, your mind left with just a drop of sanity. at the end of your path, you're on the highest branch: the most dangerous place of all, where all predators can see you. but you're already incapable of feeling anything. you wait for your death as the invisible force consumes you from the inside, in this kind of corrupted catharsis... only for the cycle to begin again.
wow.
It seems like to aesthetics of H. P. Lovecraft’s novels.
I don't think its like that at all. I think the virus forces the caterpillar to believe they want to do what they are doing. Maybe some sense of intrigue you just can't explain, but you follow it. And once you are where you wanted to be, you simply stop and wait until you die.
As a writer and avid reader. This was a great read. Thanks ✨
@@stanunproblematic2546 thank you for taking the time to read :)
Very good very nice, I'm not an English geek but this is 👌 writing
I have seen these sick caterpillars, ever since I was a kid. I was under the impression that they were sick from that green ooze. But, I never thought that this would be so bad.
Amazing footage and narration.
Some fungi also sprout out from these things.
Its nature.
What, you thought its all fun and games?)
@@KaiReel23 It isn't all fun, but the fight for survival in nature is _technically_ a game.
A game of chance, luck, strenght and strategy; where the loser won't get a second chance, and the winner gets to stay and continue playing until they, one day, become the loser themselves
They literally perished after the brown body which is sad :(
In Ophiocordyceps unilateralis for example, after the ant climbs a tree and does the death grip, a stalk will grow from its head xD
This video reminded me how much I love this channel, PLEASE continue making content, this is amazing! Thank you :)
Yeah the good news is that thanks to the lockdown cameraman James is able to shoot a lot more stuff. Another sequence has already been shot!
@@TeamCandiru fuck yeah
Agreed.
Yes!
Thanks alot James
"the garden becomes a graveyard" jesus
I was in my grandmother's 'garden'
one day looking at her roses.
Up-top there was a catapiller waving-
round furiously, - fending off this wasp
that kept hovering up and down and all around it. The catapiller looked like he had a little drop of 'blood' oozing from his back. The wasp was obviously trying to get him for some reason. It was narley. Wicked.
what a cliffhanger, how did it end???? Did the wasp get the caterpillar??
@@gregedgerton3390 well it will lay egg under it and when time will come they will brust out of the carretpiller and the main thing is that it doesn't die it protect it from other insects
fertilizer*
Melodramatic...
I like how caterpillars eat so daintily, despite basically being giant bratwursts with suction cup feet.
My new favorite comment
i need to imprint this new image in my brain forever :V
Well, at least it wasn't because of parasites
...this time
*Isn't a virus technically a parasite?*
@@rusher2937 r/woosh
cringe, its not reddit boiyo. 🤣👏👏
@@rusher2937 well yes but actually no
@@Evinti false and genuinely cringe use of the whoosh
That virus is eerily similar to this fungus that I saw on another documentary which zombified fruit flies. Love the narration,videography,and sound effects. This channel deserves more love.
Yeah, it seems that the capability of mind controlling your host is pretty widespread. Fungi, viruses, wasps, like, damn, that's a lot more things than one would imagine!
Cordyceps.
@@marcoasturias8520 us humans need to harness this technology and implant it in the brains of all animals
We will farm *E V E R Y T H I N G*
And when a species is endangered we will force them to mate
@@goodday435 is not like their problem is not wanting to mate, the problem is their numbers are so thin that they have a hard time finding mate and after that, there's very few resources to successfully rise the next generation
That thumping though..
Dying caterpillars, losing sense of self-preservation and function of their own brain: Bro let's get high
Same
What worries me is that where I live, in the South, when I was a kid (80s/90s) there were caterpillars all over the place, and then butter flies, as well as fireflies, would also get woodpeckers around here--- these days I never see them. Never.
They're gone.
Shit need me to send you some? I can't keep the bastards under control. I'm going to remove my pollinator areas and spray all the lawn. I just can't do another year of pests eating 80 percent of everything I plant and drawing in creature pests like voles and chipmunks that eat the rest
I am getting the sudden urge to climb a tree
Dont do it
@@thisisahumanlol8255 😂 ty for the laugh
lol nice
Oh god its happening to humans-
lmao
Imagine a horror movie like that...
"I... I must climb to the roof"
"Why?"
"Must.... climb... up... I need to go up!"
"Well ok, let's go to the roof, you act strange today!" "Now what? Here is nothing!?"
"We wait... I feel them coming"
"Who? Hey, look at me, who is coming?"
"We have to wait... they will come... I feel itchy!"
"Stop it. Come down! It's cold out here!"
"NOOO! I HAVE TO WAIT!"
"Fine, have it your way!"
(a few hours later)
"OMG, You look so grey, are you ok? Aren't you cold? I called the doctor, he will be here soon"
"..."
"OMG your fingers are black!" "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?"
"... ... they ... they are here!"
And then the skin of his face cracks and black spores fly out...
The insect world is truly terrifying
and yet amazing
The monsters and real and worse then you could possibly imagine if your an insect! Some of them are scary and gross when your foff monkey that can squish them without thinking let alone if your just a squishy little bug haha
@@Insect_Expert1489 yeah, nature is impressive
the soundtrack is stunning, sets the mood perfectly
who woulda thought you could empathize with caterpillars through the power of good music
I saw the caterpillars turning brown in my garden once, wondering what happened to them, didn’t know that the had a virus until I watched this video
This would be the biggest threat to humanity if humans could get it
Please don't jinx it lol
That reminds me of the movie "The Happening"
are you TRYING to give goverment an excuse for 2020?
Please dont give to 2020 new ideas
2021 is near guys
there is a human version of this virus but it compels you to spend money on an onlyfans account
Simp virus

@@bonersexpenis6200 wym?
This is a scenario pulled straight out of Mushishi.
I loved that anime
@@lashawnjohns3346 Haha, I’m glad somebody is familiar with the series.
The way this anime can have fascinating yet unsettling episodes, in a way that they're also just part of the circle of life, mirrors very well much of the natural world - the soundtrack is amazing too.
ahhh this comment makes me so happy. mushishi is very underrated where im from
I’m scared of all kinds of insects but I’m still watching these kinds of video...
*welp-*
This is now one of my favourite channels. Please don’t stop creating wonderful videos
Someone’s gonna eat one of these and start the zombie apocalypse in humans
Most likely the chinese
@@TheMrSol0Dol0 yep
Chinese intensified
@@ReyZar666 it'll end up like train to busan
TheMrSol0Dol0 idk why my comment got deleted but I will say it again chinese ppl always get shitted on but u guys ignore white ppl eating their families
Too underrated the quality, the voice over, its insane keep up the great work
People: Nature is beautiful
Nature:
This channel is beautiful. Thought it was BBC at first just a different narrator. Thank you for this ! Please continue !! The hard work will pay off !!
Caterpillar: I'm gonna be a beautiful butterfly when I grow up
Every other insect: IF you grow up.
I saw the title and could only think:
*_AND THAT'S WHEN THE DEAD MEN ARE MARCHING AGAIN._*
So many insects have some sort of parasite or virus that takes control of it's host.
If you ever think you're having a bad day at least you've realize it these poor buggers don't even know that.
The Caterpillar virus:
while(!Highest_You_Can_Go){
climb();
}
liquify();
If going to survive
Dont
How do we ever get butterflies? If you keep watching this channel, you'd think caterpillars and butterflies are doomed.
Exactly and those that survive everything thrown at them barely live for a few weeks at most as an adult, some moths even lack digestive systems so they starve to death. Too small a reward for what they went through if you ask me, looks like nature went out of its way to screw these guys over.
Poor caterpillars I love Caterpillars :( R. I. P Caterpillars
*When school teaching about the nature and animals*
Me: oh lameeeeee
*when watching a youtube video about the same thing*
Me: oh cool
Me: Reads insect encyclopedia's all day then i pick the ones I need like ants dragonflies tree hoppers then i turn to the Spider encyclopedia's and i just find the ones I need
very fitting for the times, and another top notch video :) always looking forward to your guys' content
As someone who raises butterflies this breaks my heart.
Me : have anxiety seeing caterpillars
Also me : watched the whole video until end
For real dude. I cringed the entire time
@@karlareinoso21 u bet
Does anyone else feel sad after this video cos I do 😞
The sad music doesn't help either 😪
Ikr it sucks to be a Caterpillar
I feel both sad and like I’m going to be sick.
I feel like selling those caterpillars as chocolate to the kids next door
This was very well done! Love the music! Often i find music in a video distracting but this worked well with the video.
Another amazing video, very interesting and apt for this moment in time!
Man, caterpillars be copping 60 different types of sci-fi viruses
They bring a whole new meaning to walk towards the light
great work!
Did you say "liquify"?
*_Liquify?!_*
Welp, that's enough internet for today.
"...and liquifies them."

@@ansleygrace5519 welp I'm not from india
Oh God, I watched this happen to a caterpillar I found last year... I had no idea... He kept looking like he was gonna pupate but he went from stunning emerald green to brown and saggy...
this is so sad. hey siri play “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus.
by god this music is outstanding.
I'm guessing that this infection is related to the Cordyseps fungus,the one seen in both last of us games.
Well, this is a virus, so no. It’s not related to Cordyceps. As terrifying as it is, parasitic mind control has convergently evolved quite a number of times across multiple kingdoms of life.
When you forget to eat the banana that you bought: 2:07
Even caterpillars have their own version of the COVID-19.
covid looks like the sniffles compared to this
oh wait it is
Really dumb comparison and I'm sick of the BS. 99.9 percent survival rate gets compared to something that liquids their insides like Ebola?
this guy created a death garden just to speak over it as if he was a discovery type. Thanks for creating killer bugs
😂 fkn hilarious
Imagine if this evolved to attack humans...
I wonder if wearing a Mask would still be a debate?
dunno it depends on the type of the sickness and how its
spread because there are some sicknesses that spread by skin contact.
It'd definitely be a gnarly sight to see.
Though it looks like it's spread through contact or by mouth/other orifice (like STIs or Hepatitis A) rather than droplet (flu) or airborne (Tuberculosis/possibly covid). Masks might not be the best prevention in this case but gloves and hand washing will.
Let's see how we'll handle a glove campaign
You ready to get liquified??
@@fiendish9474 I'm already wearing my mask and following health safety guidelines for COVID and the Flu, you think I wouldn't be doing whatever it takes to avoid getting it if it liquified me? LOL
@@fiendish9474 Let's just say I believe in science more than political dogma, so I'm never going to be the problem in a pandemic of any kind.
0:51 gamer confirmed
What if they feel that they are infected, and that's why they climb - to reduce the chance of contacting with another caterpillar? Hmmmmm
the virus spread by their contact with leaves that other caterpillars go on to eat, if they were taking care of others, they would just stay put and die.
@@J040PL7 true but remember they are catarpillars that aren't smart enough to know that
I dont think theyd do that. They arent as social or smart as ants infected with ophiocordyceps and would likely just follow what instincts dictated.
"The lights are on, but no one's home, your mind is not your own..."
I guess you can say their " reaching for the light "!
10 years ago there used to be lots of butterflies in our backyard, these days - none
Now u can farm in peace 😃
Humans:The sky is the limit
Caterpillar: no the sky means death
The same things happens to my bananas when I leave them out to long.
Here from reddit who else?
Only you because reddit is not available in my country.
oh boy.. this is exactly what i needed to see in the middle of the worst virus pandemic in decades..
This channel deserves everything
Your voice is so relaxing.., that’s why I love your videos .., 🥰
The narrator has a soothing voice and makes anything not so scary
This video brought me to a realization. I try my best to climb to the top, but in the end I’ll still die a piece of shit
It's not that the minds have been taken over. It's the reflexes, rather, that have been taken over.
I hope this video gets in our recommended again in 5 years
It's as though evil and vile intent is built into nature. Maybe good is as well, but evil most definitely. I wouldn't weep if all viruses on earth were eradicated.
I saw the title and was expecting cordceps...Honestly I find the liquifying virus grosser/more disturbing than the fugus infection.
This narrator should be hired to narrate serial killer documentaries
2:13 if anyone has seen the Ripping Friends vs the Indigestible Wad, this was what this clip reminded me of.
A dude:weres all the butterflys its spring?
Me:uhhh...
Catterpillars:must climb higher!!!
These guys are liquefying inside and are like "Yeah just vibin" meanwhile I get indigestion and can't move for the next 15 minutes
Just discovered your channel, what amazing Job of your team... keep it Up!
Man, poor caterpillars, dude.
They really got it rough.
it is NPV
Nature never stops to amaze me
amazing
I can't feel my leg and I can't stop watch
Caterpillars are so cute!
Bananas after being left outside the fridge for 2 seconds
I'm sure the film team put that second caterpillar close to the first one. The end it started on wasn't connected to anything; plus, nature documentary producers have been known to 'spice things up' in the past to make more people watch!
the title of the video sounds like a brutal death metal album
Mon:hey boy do you have e fever?
Me:mon I want to climb
And yet most people would never consider a zombie apocalypse to be possible. I'm sure we are a long ways off. But evolution is beautiful and terrifying.
there are two kind of feeder one slowly consume forward the other just skip it and use it as a stepping stone hijack their cago as convienent skipping forward to further advantsages
What's most scary it's to think what will happen if the virus reaches the humans.
Never seen a mushy caterpillar before... now I have
If I am not mistaken this Virus is the Baculovirus. I am currently learning about this bioengineering, where we use cell cultures and this virus as a vector to produce medicin for us. It's quite intresting, if you modify it right you can produce alot of medical proteins. Best part is that this virus can only infect arthopods and not humans/ animals wich makes it ideal. Quite intresting how such a "horrible" virus can have it's uses. Nature really is facinating sometimes.
Whoa!!! That is such an interesting field of study. I wish i could do something like that.
no it is NPV
Imagine a kid picking up a caterpillar wanting to observe it turn into a butterfly and this happen.
That's one hell of a garden you have
‘We climb higher and higher, only to end up liquifying and dying on a twig all alone’ -Arthur Schopenhauer probably
Thank you
Caterpillars : living typewriters
The coplexity of evolution never fails to amaze me.
God's work
@@mikailm6934 who made God
Those poor babies! Hopefully there will be plenty of healthy little ones.
Nature is fuckin scary
Cant believe these thing if happen to humans
Scary as hell
Time to make a vessel
Well, I wasn't expecting that! 😳 😭
The caterpillars are compelled to resist their defenses and climb because of the fact that they are suffering and want a quick death. So they climb high in the hopes of being eaten... O.o
