      I used to have that with lizards in Malaysia. They loved the humid environment of the shower and were always chillin on the shower walls or ceiling. Sometimes I would shower while having half a dozen lizards on the walls and ceiling. They were small, length between 2 to maybe 6 inches. Some of them real chunky, you could tell They had recently engorged themselves on something. Huge bloated abdomen. But they would just stay where they were, unmoving, enjoying the hot humid air and the steam coming off my hot shower. They were harmless so I left them a lone.

    Hey Clint! Your channel has single-handedly sparked an appreciation and fascination for insects and reptiles in me that I never had before. I have been terrified of bugs, spiders, and indifferent to reptiles like snakes, but after watching your videos I find myself more and more comfortable and actually excited to learn more about these amazing animals. I love learning about them and seeing how cool and rad they can be!
    I definitely want to get a snake in the future, but I'm currently obsessed with beetles!
    Could you do a video (or several!) on beetles? How are they so strong? What's a "scarab" anyway? How did they get so many beautiful and rad colors?! What's up with dung beetles and why are they so gross and fascinating at the same time? Do beetles make any cool noises or sounds like a grasshopper can? I have so many questions!!
    I know there are over 400,000+ different species of beetles and some of them MUST make great pets!
    Thank you for all you do!

    I remember seeing the banana spider in my invertebrates class, And a fact that scares me about them is that they lift their front legs to look bigger and they open their mouth and show you their big red claws, and they con hop like 30 - 40 cm horizontally. So you know spiders usually are afraid of you? haha

    16:23 I love walking stick bug's, they are my favorite insects. I had a small amount of them when I was younger. My mom helped me care for them. I had spiders and toads, as well as snakes and fish. My family also rescued a blue octopus once from a fish market. He lived in a large 300 gallon fish tank in our basement. We had a small aquarium with starfish and jelly fish. Even four puffer fish. My dad loves fish. My mom loved all animals. Mom raised me so she taught me about nature. I didn't watch TV until I was 13 because I was too busy outside. TV is boring when you have the real deal outside to explore and go on adventures. I am handicapped and an adult living on my own with in home assistance. I hate being inside all the time but I have to because I will get sick. Life happens. You got to accept it or it will take you to dark places. I do have great memories. ☺️

    Clint, recently a new millipede species has been discovered and it's been deemed the first (and only) millipede that lives up to the name. So yes, it has over a thousand legs (counted with a microscope because it is very tiny). You should look into it!
    What is weird is that in Dutch (I'm from Belgium) millipedes are called miljoenpoten (which literally mean millionpedes) and centipedes are called duizendpoten (which actually means millipedes)

    Regarding millipedes and 1,000 legs... a millipede was relatively recently discovered that has over 1,000 legs! It's called Eumillipes persephone and lives extremely deep underground, where it's apparently useful to have a super-long and thin body.

    For millipedes with 1000 legs, look up "Eumillipes persephone". Apparently one has been found with 1306 legs, so if you want one with _exactly_ 1000 legs it's just a matter of catching it on the right day. :)

    That peanut bug is fairly closely related to the spotted lanternfly that is currently invasive here in the eastern United States. P.S. Your millipede looks like an Arthropleura! 😲

    I really enjoyed the consistent theme of "this is horrifying and terrible and possibly the ugliest [whatever] I've ever seen, and I absolutely love it" that runs through this entire video. Makes me wonder what you tell your offspring!
    Seriously, though, Clint- rather than your wealth of information (which I absolutely DO appreciate), your sense of wonder is my favorite thing about your videos. It's contagious, and I am deeply grateful for your willingness to share it with us.

    Oh, chiggers. I hate chiggers with a passion.
    We call it Scrub Itch in Australia, and I agree they're THE WORST. I seem to be one of the 'lucky' souls who gets a stronger reaction to their bites than most, I had the rash for weeks afterwards.
    Fortunately where I am, they don't carry any diseases, but north of Rockhampton they can carry Scrub Typhus.

    Oh man, that millipede looks like arthropleura! Also, depending on whether you meant EXACTLY 1000 legs or not, their is a genus of millipede that can have over 1000 legs, the aptly named eumillipes.

    I heard that an invasive species of spider from the Amazon has made their home in Japan. And it is big and scary.
    Been a few years since hearing it, so I don't actually know what species it was, but I remember something about bananas.
    A hybrid between a millipede and a trilobyte?

I hope we run into each other someday because I think your stoic and intellectual demeanor in your videos results in great learning videos for all, that being said, I would love to see you late night after a big show or out of the realm. That person, while similar, is someone I'd like to have a beer with and talk to without the need for talking to the masses. Either way, keep it up, we appreciate you!

    When I was 15/16 years old, I got to circumnavigate the world with my dad who was a Merchant Seaman and we went out via the Panama Canal. I can remember these horrendous, huge black wasps who seemed very aggressive but luckily neither of us (my sister and I) got stung. I am not sure because its a long time ago but when you put up the photo of the tarantula hawk wasp, that's what instantly sprang to mind. There's rainforest along both banks of the canal and it was misty and very hot and wet but you don't forget huge black wasps who look determined to have a go at you. I may be wrong but I wasn't up for a really close encounter whatever it was! Having one in your cabin was close enough for me thanks very much!

    You have got to be the ULTIMATE biology professor I always wanted but never had! I adore your very musical inflections when you thoroughly explain information about bugs, and I so appreciate that you don't wax poetically about the bugs, or call them all "beautiful"--you said horrifying so many times, I kept rewinding and laughing XD. I just wanted to see if I could learn how to keep a giant bug (about 10 videos ago--), now I'm subscribed :).
