Haha thank ya! Sad it loses its bug typing on its evo but drapion still dope af

[@ran.glacialis]

As the others, interesting video. I find bugs fascinating. Zicrona caerulea (or many Scutelleridae, but we don't have those where I live) have a nice metallic color which make them look like a beetle. Many Membracidae have absolutely crazy body shapes. I also like the bugs which nymphs mimic ants (a common thing among arthropods).
One thing you could have added is a little talk about bed-bugs, which are indeed bugs. And the smell. I don't usually smell insects, so I don't know if other insects smell too, but I do know some Hemiptera nymphs have a very particular smell. I couldn't say if I like it or not, but I remember smelling it again and again. Almost addictive.

[@insectspotlightproject]

Thank you! Yea Hemiptera was so hard to boil down into a short video because there's so much to talk about! I look forward to covering some more on them, a bedbug video definitely needs to happen 🙌

[@natalieeuley1734]

You forgot to mention bed bugs in here :P

[@insectspotlightproject]

Haha I know they really did deserve a segment here 😭 I'll be doing a separate video for them at some point for sure

There's a chrome extension called byrdhouseapp.com that can auto translate youtube videos and livestreams. I believe it is a paid subscription though. RUclips also has an autotranslate feature but I am not sure how accurate it is. Let me know if there is something else I can do on my end to make things more accessible!

[@Ranny-R-R]

Thanks very much bro 🤍

[@oliviamcfarlane2139]

Thanks for making these videos! I’m really enjoying learning about all these fascinating animals. Your videos are super helpful for my learning style!!!

[@brandonbammann3300]

[@insectspotlightproject]

Its OP

[@nicoazevedo3581]

Had some water skeeters show up in my 300 gal Rubbermaid tub. They were able to breed. Started with 2, I have more than 10 now. They were even eating fish flake.
Should expect them to disappear in the winter?

[@insectspotlightproject]

Haha you've got your own little population goin, they are pretty generalist so makes sense they were making do out of what they could find!

[@bug203]

THIS IS SOOO COOL THANK YOU ACTUALLY...... entomology/order Hemiptera have been my biggest interests for the longest time this makes me so happy LMAO

[@insectspotlightproject]

No problem! I'm glad I could be of help 😄
