Hey, weirdos, if you haven't already, be sure to check out our message about the importance of USARK and subscribe to their RUclips channel: ruclips.net/video/C2OhQiXWuoo/видео.html
Hey this might be weird, but can you do a care video about mosquitos
Could you take a look at Kong: Skull Island - Spider scene? Is it a true spider or? It seems to have petapalp claws? So would it be a Giant Tailless Whipscorpion of some sort or a spider with petapalp claws?
did you find any mantises out there , I love praying mantises
Ok two things giant land snails are not hermaphroditic and two not all mosquitoes are bad the ones that bite us most definitely are but there is also elephant misquotes that eat other mosquitoes as larva and some of them only eat nectar their whole life and are key pollinators of certain plants
Watched your USARK video as soon as it came out. I’ve been telling everyone, even my friends who just sort of like reptiles, to please check out the channel. And that if they think people should be allowed to responsibly keep reptiles then maybe think about subscribing to help us out.
I love that the highest compliment Clint can give to a creature is "horrifying."
He reminds me of Blathers in that way, just not as scared of invertebrates. 🧐💚🕷
"Oh, you horrifying thing. You're disgusting. You're an awful beast, and I love you. How about you go back to my hat." may be one of the most amusing things I've ever heard.
& stimulating psychsomatic itching, apparently...
Fear is the highest form of respect
Egad...Truly hideous. Thankyou !.
>Clint
>Nice fresh shower
>"Oh look, a highly venomous spider, directly above my naked body"
>just keeps an eye on it and continues to shower.
After spending a day or two in the hot humid jungle you'd do it too. Shoot, I'd use the spider as a shower scrubby if I had to as long as I could wash the cheese off my balls lol 🤢
@@eliharper6616 well, that was lovely to read!
@@eliharper6616 ...Why did you have to describe it like that XD
That millipede is the coolest one I've ever seen, it's like a tiny version of arthropleura, the biggest land invertebrate ever.
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!
It looks like an armorpede from dragonquest.
thats exactly what i was thinking!! so cool 🙂
I was coming to the comment section to say the same thing lol
What is it though? like has it no other name?
Tailless Whip Scorpions are definitely at the top of the "harmless, but looks terrifying" category of invertebrates. I'm glad I'm not the size of a cricket though.
really? I think they're cute. They always look like you've just told the worst joke with their little hands. Like they're saying "really???" and being grabbed by one feels super weird lol. They also clap.
Easily my favorite arthropod. They are so cool.
Always wanted one as a pet
I think they're cute. Look at him tryna get u with his tiny little hands
The first time I saw one was on fear Factor and people were eating them. I remember being horrified. Much, much, MUCH later, I have grown to love spiders mostly with the help of jumpers. I now have my very own pumpkin patch sling. I cannot believe people were doing something so cruel to these animals. That it was allowed to be shown on TV with hype.. I'm glad we've grown as a society :-)
For anyone who's curious about the millipede he showed off, it's from the Psammodesmus family and they're really interesting! They're also referred to as moss millipedes because they were the first millipede known to be a host of ectocommensal mosses
Wow, Thank you for sharing! Do you know what type of bug was "on" the millipede by the head? I am thinking mite but not really sure. Came back to say, after Clint mentioned chiggars, I believe that was a chiggar on the head.
AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH
“What a horrifying insect… I love it”
“You’re an awful beast, and I love you”
Anytime anyone mentions bullet ants I immediately think of Sam O'Nella's bit about the Schmidt Pain Index
Dude is a legend. Wish he had a bigger presence on RUclips
Jesus Christ, merry mother of satan's left nipple. It's like my right arm is made entirely out of urethras and each and every one of them is having a red hot catheter put in an ripped out five times every second. My very being is on fire, my only desire left is for death himself to bless me with sweet relief. I'll give that a 4. No... 4 plus.
@@Thatguy-hc3edhe put out a new video recently!
8:29 Actually, in december 16, 2021 Marek et al. published an article on Scientific Reports, in which they described a species of millipede (Eumillipes persephone), that had 1306 legs. So yeah, there is only ONE true millipede right now.
That's not 1,000 either. I know of no millipedes with 1,000 legs.
Nit picky but true ^
Makes me wish they change the definition to something like say: a true millipede has AT LEAST a thousand legs lol
@@ClintsReptiles Lol smart
Millipedes grow a new segment each molt right? So at some point it would be a genuine millipede
@@ClintsReptiles Okay, so it's a millitrescentumsexepede. Close enough.
Velvet ant is also easy to distinguish by how it move. Very dynamic and sudden movement. Ants also move quickly but I noticed that velvet ants do it in very specific way, move-stop-turn, just like normal wasp.
It’s abdomen pattern also kinda looks like a frowning face when the velvet ant is facing towards the camera.
@@peggedyourdad9560 And it's fitting, since you'll definitely be frowning after a sting from one lol!
@@thebobbalo1 I was stung by one when I was probably like 7 years old. A red velvet one. Definitely an experience I'll never forget. Seen these guys in all kinds of bright colors, but I feel like you can tell they're the same thing even if you don't know exactly what they are. The darty movement, the fuzz and the size. All very distinct no matter if they're red white or yellow.
@@pptemplar5840 I have seen those red velvet ones here in Florida.
@@pptemplar5840 those guys are all over the south east US. We call em cow killers or cow ants. And yeah their stings hurt I had one sting me when I was kid 0/10 do not recommend.
As someone who's experienced the mosquito mayhem of northern Sweden, mosquitos are horrifying, and that's without any scary tropical diseases. 😳
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 love this comment! We have one video on blue death feigning beetles, and I'll try to do more. Great suggestion!
@@ClintsReptiles Thanks Clint! I've watched that blue death feigning beetle video in the past and it definitely sparked my interest in all things beetles! Thanks again for all the work you and your team put into these videos!
Based beetle enjoyer
You'd probably like Ants Canada. The dude will straight up take you on a journey.
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
This ones literally will run to catch you if they can. So it is kinda cool you covered them in this video :D
Normal spider: "I'm standing in threat pose! Look at me being BIG when I stretch out my legs in the air! I'm scary! Go away! ...please"
Banana spider: "Take a good look at this! This is your doom!"
"Toxicognaths!" Still my favorite word, that I learned from Clint!
just a tip, when in a professional setting, that word is pretty outdated and I could barely find any articles supporting it. They are much more commonly referred to as "forcipules"
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. ☺️
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.
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)
As a Brazilian, I can tell: since we learn about the wandering spider at school, we get to be > traumatized< to take care everytime we go to a fruit market or fair. Obviously it's very rare to see one out of Amazon BUT, you know, bananas are sold everywhere, planted on our grandma's gardens, etc.
I find insects terrifying, amazing, alien and fascinating all at the same time. I could watch these strange looking guys all day. Thanks for this video.
Ohhhh I am SO jealous!!! What an amazing privilege to see so many awesome critters!!
same, I've always been a fan of small bugs and lil creatures, being with so many of the most unique ones in the wild is just a blessing
I agree, though I'd be too scared to go if I had the chance😅 ill admire from afar.
@@GuardianTam we need to nuke the Amazon
the spiny devil katydid, looks unreal, like straight out of some sort of cartoon, it's even got a crown on it's head, so incredibly cool
I love Clint's enthusiasm for toxicognaths. I literally incorporate it into every discussion I can :D
Thank you for pointing out differences between the tailless whip scorpion and the vinegaroon. As soon as I saw it, I said aloud, “That’s a vinegaroon!” I feel better knowing they look similar. 😁
Those are incredible! I can’t believe how huge some of these creatures can get. I always learn something new watching your videos.
"Arthropods of the Amazon"
You mean the stuff nightmares are made of?
YES TOTALLY AGREE
Wandering spiders and tucandeira (the bullet ant) are really something to be afraid of. The ant have a basically not very toxic neurotoxin that evolved to uniquely cause pain. Distilled, pure form, special, unforgettable kind of pain. The spider is crazy. She is a aggressive, very duper super venomous spider. They feel very comfortable within houses, shoes, kitchens, bathrooms. Not shy at all.
Horrifying….
😂
“Oh look one of the walking sticks thinks the other walking stick is a stick” 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂. Clint is flippin hilarious !
That Harlequinn Beetle has one of the coolest paintjobs I've ever seen on an insect. Combined with his gargantuan arms and his miniature meatcleaver mandibles... that little dude is both terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time.
loved this video, all of the videos from the amazon trip have been amazing.... so jealous and thankful that you were able to go and that we can see the amazing things that you found while there. thanks clint!!
This is so informative and is now one of my favorite videos!! Just learning stuff in your style is so pleasant!
Fantastic video!! I have been looking forward to this one, and I am not disappointed! I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from the ones you shared with us!
I absolutely love how happy you sound about interacting with each animal. You're the best!
LOVE invertebrates! Absolutely stoked to see this video. Bugs can be so crazy, I love them so much
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. :)
Also, technically "ped" refers to feet, not legs. But there's generally a 1:1 ratio, anyway.
By far my favorite video from your Amazon series. Inverts are such a diverse and fascinating group. Thank you Clint!
I don't know how I ever missed this channel. Many sleepless nights have been spent down rabbit holes. But this was truly a joy. Thank you for sharing your passion and joy. Fantastic and fascinating video. I'll be following from now on!
thank you, clint. i was sufficiently terrified. i saw a snapping turtle the other day and was able to identify it because of your channel
Clint got stick bugged! So many insects packed into one on video. Absolutely great stuff.
That one that was walking on him in the b-roll was HUGE!
This is the first video I've watched on this channel and I can already tell that Clint's Reptiles is going to be one of my faves! Awesome video! That millipede is amazing! It looks prehistoric.
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
As someone who REALLY wants to get into entomology, these are all so cool and fascinating creatures. I love them all so, SO much and it saddens me that a lot of people don't know they exist and/or don't appreciate how important they all are to the ecosystem they reside in. Thanks for teaching people about some of the lesser know creatures out there, Clint.
How is your entomology journey?
I love Clint’s videos, I recently got my first lizard and his videos really help.
Clint this may be your best video the amount of information and spectrum if arthropods u covered is amazing
Fantastic video Mr. Clint!
Heya Clint! That stick insect at 15:58 with the long face is actually a grasshopper! More specifically a horse faced grasshopper (Pseudoproscorpia spp)
I was just gonna comment that, really cool bugs
Wonderful video, and invertebrates!
As an invertebrate RUclipsr and nature explorer, I would LOVE to visit the Amazon Rainforest sometime in the future- as it is filled with the most diverse and COOLEST of all invertebrates... Such fun observing this diversity! 😍
Fantastic Show/Video Clint, Thanks!
Amazing Clint, loved this
I'm so glad centipedes aren't bigger. Could you imagine a dog sized centipede? Horrifying
Centipedes from the carboniferous era were 3 meters long
@@sebastianfiel1715 I'm glad they're gone :')
@@dylanjesus1552 just put the one in the video in a 35% oxygen environment and they'll be back for cuddles..
@@rosiehawtrey it would take some time though. But it is cool that we have the knowledge to bring nightmares back to life.
@@sebastianfiel1715 That was a millipede, not a centipede. Modern Scolopendra get bigger than any prehistoric centipede known.
Also I love invertebrates all of them, from crustacea to hexapoda and everything in between. F* I love every living thing this planet has produced, in whatever form it has taken on this planet! I hate to say it (it is a human weakness, to feel like we're better than everything else. Hell we even go as far as thinking we're better than others of our own.), but even my own species are pretty damn cool. 😎 Have a great day out there lovers of life, and don't forget to live life with love! Damn, that was very hippie sounding. 🤣
Awesome video, never heard of this channel but instantly subscribed after watching.
Wow! Such a diverse and amazing swath you came across!
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.
I'm on a binge of cool and scary bugs and I just found this guy and I love him. Not only does he seem to have a love for insects, but he's incredibly knowledgeable and very interesting!
Awesome video! Excited to see more like this.
Clint you are the absolute best.
Thank you for what you do, we love you!
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?
A millibyte?
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! 😲
All shown insects and other arthropods are so awesome! Thanks!
What a great video, love your enthusiasm
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.
None of these "huge, horrifying" insects are a match for my foot.
What an amazing video! Thank you, it was a true delight to watch it.
Your enthusiasm is always a great way to brighten a day. Thank you
Is the peanut bug the best pet bug?
This makes me feel sad to think that the Amazon is being destroyed at this very minute.
Fascinating!! Absolutely fascinating!
I loved this!! Such fun and so informative!
Love this channel! Glad you got to see so many incredible animals
Love the channel so much. Love learning about this stuff while I'm taking care of chores. Makes life better.
That was sooo much fun! TY!
Excellent video. Thanks, Professor
This video was so awesome! You really made me want to visit the Amazon some day.
Thank you ! Really nice vid' !
Some of the best content on youtube.
Brilliant video, Clint. Fun, informative, entertaining, and fascinating. Love when you get out in the field and get eaten alive by insects, OK maybe not that part. I learned a lot, really enjoyed this, and as it happens watched it while eating lunch.
thanks again for your time and dilligence
Amazing video, I look forward for another one :)
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Really cool video, best !
This was REALLY interesting! Thank you!!
This was too cool! Soo much information I was glued to the screen. I'm terrified of bugs/snakes/spiders but I find them all terribly exciting for some reason!
Needles to say,I've become a subscriber now 😉
Now THIS was a kickass video! Very excitingly terrifying and very very rad!
Thank you for sharing.
New sub! I love little channels like this.
Great video! Always entertaining!
What an amazing video! I love all of those terrifying things!
I love it Clint, and what you do for our community. 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!
Quality content. Thumbs up and subscribed.
loving the invert videos clint
Best video yet!
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.
Amazing new Amazon intro!!
What a cool video!!! THANKS!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was waiting for the invert episode!!!
Great content!!!
Great video. Gonna have nightmares for sure.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Absolutely fascinating and horrifying! Love ur vids bro!!!!
