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?
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.
"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.
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 🤢
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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!
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.
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!"
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.
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. ☺️
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 😁
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 😍
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.
Heya Clint! That stick insect at 15:58 with the long face is actually a grasshopper! More specifically a horse faced grasshopper (Pseudoproscorpia spp)
10:36 the way it lunges at your hand the INSTANT it notices it's there... that bug must've been steaming mad when you caught it in a little tupperware LOL
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!
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.
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. 🤣
I clicked on this video very hesitantly because I've seen several pretentious and even misinformed reptile channels. However, Clint is very knowledgeable and an awesome guy! Definitely subscribing.
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.
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 😉
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? A millibyte?
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!
Evolution By Natural Selection is awe inspiring, brilliant and amazing!!! Just look at how so many animals, insects, etc., have evolved over billions of years. It’s mind blowing and I love it!!!
One of the most beautiful video you did. I would watch your documentaries all life long rather than the Nat geo channel. If you can do more it would be awesome.
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 :).
That millipede is awesome. It looks like its metal armored and the tiny bumps look like rivets. I know its chitin but it looks so cool and sci-fi. I cant stop leaving a comment on every insect Ive seen. Each one just as interesting and terrifying as the last. You have definitely earned a sub from me. Thank you for handling and filming these guys so we dont have to. Much appreciated.
Great content bro, good personality for videos as well. I loved this video, some crazy bugs like the Cow Killer the velvet ant. My only wish was that it was in 4K. I’m sure everybody would love to see all the animals you handle in 4k vibrant colour. I just subscribed.

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.
So,the Amazon Rainforest is basically a place where Carboniferous never ended. That milipede even looked like a small Arthropleura.
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. 🤣
I clicked on this video very hesitantly because I've seen several pretentious and even misinformed reptile channels. However, Clint is very knowledgeable and an awesome guy! Definitely subscribing.
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.
Those bugs are crazy and also this is my 1st time watching your channel so I'm excited to go see some more
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.
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 😉
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.
Your enthusiasm is always a great way to brighten a day. Thank 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?
Fantastic Show/Video Clint, Thanks!
Is the peanut bug the best pet bug?
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
This makes me feel sad to think that the Amazon is being destroyed at this very minute.
That was sooo much fun! TY!
None of these "huge, horrifying" insects are a match for my foot.
Awesome video, never heard of this channel but instantly subscribed after watching.
By far my favorite video from your Amazon series. Inverts are such a diverse and fascinating group. Thank you Clint!
Some of the best content on youtube.
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!
Fantastic video Mr. Clint!
Evolution By Natural Selection is awe inspiring, brilliant and amazing!!! Just look at how so many animals, insects, etc., have evolved over billions of years. It’s mind blowing and I love it!!!
One of the most beautiful video you did. I would watch your documentaries all life long rather than the Nat geo channel. If you can do more it would be awesome.
…just here absorbing the positive energy Clint is radiating… …ahhhhh thats better! Thank you Clint.
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!
What an amazing video! Thank you, it was a true delight to watch it.
Amazing new Amazon intro!!
Clint you are the absolute best.
Thank you for what you do, we love you!
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 :).
thanks again for your time and dilligence
That millipede is awesome. It looks like its metal armored and the tiny bumps look like rivets. I know its chitin but it looks so cool and sci-fi. I cant stop leaving a comment on every insect Ive seen. Each one just as interesting and terrifying as the last. You have definitely earned a sub from me. Thank you for handling and filming these guys so we dont have to. Much appreciated.
Excellent video. Thanks, Professor
Amazing Clint, loved this
Now THIS was a kickass video! Very excitingly terrifying and very very rad!
This video was so awesome! You really made me want to visit the Amazon some day.
Really cool video, best !
What a great video, love your enthusiasm
Fascinating!! Absolutely fascinating!
I'll round out the comments to 1k. Great videos mate. Only just found you a few days ago, subbed straight away. You make interesting videos. Thanks
Oh and those centipedes freak me out of any animal the most and we've got a few nasties here in Australia. Truly terrifying
absolutely living for the enthusiasm when Clint gets to say "toxicognaths"
Great video! Always entertaining!
loving the invert videos clint
Great content bro, good personality for videos as well. I loved this video, some crazy bugs like the Cow Killer the velvet ant. My only wish was that it was in 4K. I’m sure everybody would love to see all the animals you handle in 4k vibrant colour.
I just subscribed.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
I think I've watched this video like 4 times. It's so much fun!
This video is pure sciencific nightmare fuel! I LOVE IT
Great Channel, subscribed
Thank you for sharing.
