Disturbance plants get a bad rap because of how omnipresent they are in and around manmade stuff. That speaks less about them and more about us, though...
that ending is so real, pisses me off how much ppl whine about bugs. I've been saying "stay tf inside then" too lately bc christ man. people are too scared to live even unless its some gross polished wasteland of "society" also! maybe if we fuckin normalized controlled burns, it wouldnt be something to bitch about as much 😒
There ain't even as much bugs as there used to be, I remember when I was a kid and my moms windshield would be covered in huge splats and now it stays mostly clean. It pisses me off too when people complain that nature is naturing out there. YOU'RE the trespasser in their home, have some damn respect!
That beetle is the Texas Soldier Beetle (Chauliognathus scutellaris)! And luckily that Plectocephalus (aka Centaurea americana, American basketflower) is fairly widely available on the market, very thankful for that.
I got an outfit - light grey shorts and a light grey tshirt featuring a rabbit wit a revolver - that are my P clothes. They get a fresh coat o permethrin every time I wear em. Spooge some of the stuff on my shoes, deet in my hair, and I haven't found a tick on me with all that. Found dozens crawlin up the ol leggies after goin in da bush bareback on impromptu excursions. But never with the P clothes. We gonna bioengineer some shit one o these days gonna wipe out da tick populations. Till then I'm gonna keep buyin a can of Walmart permethrin every summer.
Permethrin-treated cotton balls in cardboard tubes. Rodents line their nests with the stuff and it kills off the ticks at the larval stage. My apartment's backyard is virtually tick-free because they use this method, compared to my family's home nearby where even being too close to the fence by the woods you would have little buggers launching themselves at you.
My uncle got the lyme disease last year from the ticks in Michigan, was hospitalized. Prior to maybe 2010, never saw a tick in my entire life in Michigan. Used to practically roll in fields and spend tons of time in the woods, often barefoot. Around 2015 their population exploded in southeastern Michigan and more often than not, I find one crawling around on me if I step off trail. At least they seem to take around 30-60 minutes to find a spot they like, so I've only found them attached to me a few times.
I got real sick from a tick bite on my balls last year. Those things can really mess a person up but can’t let it deter you from getting back up and living life.
Got to love the native pants coping with the shit that is thrown at 'em by the world real nice! One of my favourite locals that loves disturbance is the Agastache growing in parking lots all over downtown, funny to see them beating dandelions for seed space and light in certain spots. Long live biodiversity and this beautiful channel's crew!
Love that beautiful Rudbeckia, especially its tall cone. I planted something similar but smaller called “ Mexican Hat”, I bought the seeds because the cone was so prominent. Liked that Thistle too…🌱
One of the rules in Oklahoma, after a walk in the woods to the river to fish, is that one needs a “good friend” to check all the places you can’t see. For real! We used to put duct tape sticky side out above the knee to trap climbing ticks. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is real! In the West. As for the ticks … they, being blind, evolved to find the places you can’t reach or see. Adapt and survive. Just like plants. Only … ticks.
Joey, with an antenna that long and narrow and its cylindrical body, the beetle you couldn't identify was probably a longicorn (Cerambycidae). The larvae are wood borers and take years to mature.
Thank you! This video has me looking at the cow pen daisies (in a miniature horse "pen") in a whole new, admiring light. That's sort of the point of your videos, huh? I love it.
Here in Northeastern pennslyvania we never really had a bad tick problem but in the last 10-15 yrs they are everywhere now. Just the other day i was eating lunch outside at work and a tick fell out a tree an landed on my shoulder. Little bastards are everywhere now.
I'making mullein tea outa the weed pulling at my job site, it's a disturbed soil/ peoples plant. No sprays either . One of my favorite plants to see , lots of milkweed popping up off the freeway lately, can't wait to see the hummingbirds and butterflies again🤙gotta get another milkweed shirt, mines burning out lol
My front yard is full of those. I had a 3 or 4 year old hirta dump the most fertile seed on earth as she came to the end of her life. My failed micro prairie is now just a sea of Black Eyed Susan's. It's fascinating how it signaled the seed "this is it, the last rodeo" somehow. The seed she threw in past seasons never took....
You'll find Plectocephalus americanus in the Chihuahua desert on the side of Hwy 17 between Fort Davis and Balamorhea. Somehow, these ecotypes can flower when annual precipitation is only 10-12 inches.
Got an inspection mirror to check the undercarriage for ticks. Have a bottle with 30 ticks I pulled from a myself and dog a week ago from letting him lead the way. He is a bush-wacker. Found one crawling up the wall above my pants 3 days later. Had a tiny one give me the lymes disease 5 years ago from a bite inbetween my toes. But still get out there.
Umm, that was more than just a "church employee," that was the stupid PASTOR! And I'm not surprised in the least. Y'all are afraid of reading books because you might read something naughty, but y'all will trust your kids with anybody in that church house😂
I've been letting the CALYPTOCARPUS VIALIS take over the side of the house that doesn't get much light. The zoyzia didn't like that I didn't water that side of the house.
in Oz, we call the native plants that are good to draw in birds to spread natives and also provides protection to 2nd line natives to grow, Pioneers, they're the sort we would plant on a site like this if were to be regenerating
I hate ticks with a passion, pulled 162 shellbacks (a type of paralysis tick) of a girl I was seeing, we had to deal with them daily, doesn't stop me going into tick areas, unless with my dog
With the undescribed rudbeckia, what makes it different enough to where we could classify it as a new species? How much difference can it have from just being a variety to being a new species?
I mean yeah it’s annoying when people go on about ticks but also, Lyme disease is no joke. My friend got it and it was so bad he almost offed himself. Permethrin is great but I have some questions about how it impacts other less pesky insects. I lather up with lemon eucalyptus oil and that seems to keep ticks off me. It’s not expensive. Believe there’s some research to support its effectiveness. It also poses less risk to other cool insects, I think.
I don't like ticks but what really ticks me off is those gaddamn white checkered butterflies as they lay eggs on my garden brassicas and the catapillers wreak havoc. I try to punch em when I see em which takes pro level boxing skills. Don't believe me? Just try it sometime.
There was a new gas station/truck stop built behind my frame of reference for filming. They likely scraped this and just didn't get around to building anything here yet but will next year

Permethrin treated pants are solid. I study ticks and have never had one attached to me

Anything that keeps chiggers from biting? I can deal with the ticks, but a chigger bite itches for weeks!

lol that tick rant
I got real sick from a tick bite on my balls last year. Those things can really mess a person up but can’t let it deter you from getting back up and living life.
So compared to all the other times you got bit on the balls by something, the tick was the worst?
@@ronm3245 uh? They’ve been kicked, nicked, licked, slapped and lapped but that was a first for being bitten. Yeah it put me out for a couple weeks.

I feel like this title would be clickbat but I heard "sick fuckin beetle" in the first minute.
He's the real deal. Not the boolshit crap.
But, but, I hate ticks, oooooh! Little bastards!

ya got me, I stay inside playing videogames because I don't like DA TICKS
Those beautiful beetles at 3:30 in the video appear to be Kern's Flower Scarab beetles. Another excellent Texas video. Thanks.
I've seen a huge patch of goldenrod get mowed down and after that it was nothing but canadian thistles and invasives

The place in Oklahoma was called the “Rocks, Ticks, & Chiggers Ranch”.
I'm so happy I took a botany class last semester, because now I know what you're talking about.

Neat!
From researching it looks similar to a Texan soilder beetle/ Chauliognathus scutellaris
An ecologist friend of mine was in a punk band called 'The Ruderals'. Great name.

Thanks Tony for another awesome presentation.......Wonderful you bring everything to life....Your a bloody genius buddy.
Gotta love the bathrooms of south central Tx 😂
You just reminded me, I have some seeds in my pocket from a plant I just plucked them from😂
ooooo very bug friendly episode today. more so than usual. keep'em comin!
I bought that purple thistle about a week ago at the downtown LA floral market.
😹 u called the S outta the net with that tick comment 😹💯🥛*sips*
That Thistle is gorgeous!
Great videos!!! Keep up the great work and Attitude!!!!
@2:52 Nicotinana! I once grew some and *loved* the way the flowers smelled. (I was a smoker back then... relevant? i doubt it.)

"It all gets plowed here, it eventually does, it's Texas" - Wise words
Respect & admiration
Ah, ticks. Yes I've come home from exploring and bug hunting and then I got into the shower. There were more bugs on my body than I'd seen all day.
showed up for Rude Becky, stayed for beetle love and tick rants. Gfy, bye
when was this filmed? where i'm from monarda puctata doesn't bloom until later in the season
Three weeks ago

I'm from Massachusetts. Yeah man. Ticks are a problem here. Lyme disease sucks. I know a few people with it.

Look up your local solitary wasps and see what you can plant to bring them in. They have been skilled predators in my garden.
its nice to see native nettle after spending a day doing scottish/itallian nettle removal.
I saw a lot of Polygala paucifolia Polygalaceae today on a walk at Piers Gorge in the UP.
they're just like me, frfr: Klecptocephallus Americanænus, *cardiouididae
Mowed Grass always reminds me of
Fat Cows
I love fat ,cows ,pigs, and bunny rabbits "ehh ehmm"; but you are probably talking about "Fat Cows". Wish I could get get ride of all my lawn.
Sick fuxken 🪲 Beetles,
FAR OUT, RIDE ON AND SOLID MAN✅️🌏
Ticks!!! The great equalizer!! It is a lesson to teach people, couple hundred seed tick bites.....
so much good advice that my siblings will never listen to.
TBH i'm pulling for more tick area controlled wildfires 'cuz we ain't got the medical knowledge for that campfire biscuit
Chauliognathus pensylvanicus maybe. We call em goldenrod beetles
Texas Soldier Beetle
Pretty damning that bulldozing is cheaper than burning.
I can handle ticks....it's the leeches, man... those leeches.
Lepidoptera has met Arachnida
"Nyaaawwww da ticksss", bahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Paint it all green.
Does it hafta be one or the other? Or can we go outside AND whine about ticks? I really wanna keep doin' both. Pleeeze?
This guy is genius
Firefly is that beetle
The ticks!!
I don't mind ticks, or I wouldn't mind ticks, but they try to eat my son.
The ticks are just a bad excuse for people in the death cult. THEY WONT EVER GO OUT AND TOUCH GRASS ANYWAYS
I find a disturbing amount of used tp in the woods.
kinda dark at the end there but ok, i get it
Could you yourself describe that rudbeckia and get it named?
you can tell that the area has been disturbed because the invasives are usually the first to come back
There's few invasives here, mostly just aggressive natives
I know how you feel about lawns. But charcoal or propane?
if you're in the woods, and you see deer ... you probably got ticks working their way, slowly, up to your crotch.
Gotta love fiddle leaf tobacco.
❤❤❤
are there ticks living in fire tolerant grasslands and shrub lands that gets burnt regularly?
Ticks don't survive fire if they're active and not burrowed underground
Rudbekia KillyerLawnea
keep calm, but check yer balls
How many ticks have you gotten?
Scared of the east coast ticks. pffft
6:11 😂🤣
i'll stop whining about ticks 🙃
I’m guessing my part of the north east is where you wouldn’t go? Lots of Lyme in these parts.
Correct. You need controlled fires and reintroduction of predators
Species of longhorn beetle

Spiders
"Stop whine"...start to live, learn about ticks... and a way to deal with them...problably there is a season where there is more ticks🤔
Why would the land have been scraped? To ask what is likely a stupid ??
There was a new gas station/truck stop built behind my frame of reference for filming. They likely scraped this and just didn't get around to building anything here yet but will next year
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt what I was thinking. Thx and Sorry. And dbl thx for the vids. Wish could find more like you on east coast
you seem to be getting ticked off about ticks
