I forgot what it's name was but there's this species of cockroach that eats dead leaves or something. What's special about them is that both parents care for their little cockroach babies.

According to Elyse DeFranco, who worked with us on this story the male uses his legs to scrape the egg casings off after they’ve hatched. He even does this occasionally before they’ve hatched, but researchers don’t yet know why. It may be when the eggs aren’t viable or there aren’t enough of them to make all of his work worth it.
Does anyone know what happens to the eggshells after they hatch? Like, will those things stick to the dad forever? or will it eventually fall off naturally?

I went to a daycamp when I was around 8 at some random lake. A kid found one of these things in the water and everyone's little minds were totally BLOWN. For years I remember describing the thing to people without knowing what it was.
as a kid i was catching frogs in a murky very tiny little pond. it wasnt even a pond it was just a small watering hole no bigger than 2x2ft. the frogs would burrow into the mud and i once by mistake pulled out one of these instead thinking it was a frog. i kid you not, that thing was enormous. not just because of my tiny child hands at the time but it was objectively huge. as soon as i realized it wasnt a frog i threw it back in immediately and never spoke about it with anyone. this memory stuck with me for 30 years.and as time went by i started dismissing it as something i just imagined and didnt even happen. only a few years ago i discovered these things actually do exist and realize what it was that i caught back then. its a miracle it didnt sting me
Fun fact, these bugs are caught and eaten in Thailand. They were so popular that now they've become very hard to find and are kind of a delicacy. As for the taste... It's amazing. I think they're pickled in soy or fish sause or something and it's salty but with a very deep and savory and totally unique flavor that leaves a memorable aftertaste.
@@ricky0738 All you need to do is learn the recipes. I'm sure your fams will love it after you cut it in pieces and they will have no idea what kind of meat is this
First half of the video : they are the most responsible dads Second half : they also eat their youngs if not careful Welp, they got us in the first half,NGL…
I’m not kidding when I was about 15 I had a dream that spiders were hatching out the back of my hand and they looked exactly like the water bug eggs coming out of dads back.
Definitely some of the best content on RUclips! If you guys are looking for ideas on videos maybe you could do one on those spiders that mimic/look like ants like Myrmarachne Formicaria
I was stung by one of those when I was hunting frogs in a swamp. It was big and white in color. I still remember the pain. 😖 That was 40 years ago. I was 13 years old.

The most caring dad in the insect world!
Also:
The baby has to sneak away cause these dads are known to eat their young!
IKR?

That's how you know the bar is literally below ground level
A lot of animals cannibalize their young almost immediately after birth if they're stressed.

@@al6243 i saw the video,too. They make a burrow where the young life and care for them for month
That's most cockroach species, actually.
Giant burrowing cockroach
To think that, the fathers spend alot of their effort caring for the eggs and giving them oxygen, and the baby nympths that hatch can just be eaten 💀
That’s what I was thinking! Lol but maybe they only eat a few or the sickly ones for all of the trouble they went through.

Are these not the same bugs that eat their own children?
errr as amazing as a crab really.
How big are they??
up to 3 inches / 8 cm in length.
Yo 3:21 😂 he looks like a proud son 😂😂😂 showin his dad somethin 😂
They are the most responsible dads in the insect world, wow. Lesson learned, don't mess with water bugs. Thanks Deep Look.
You are welcome RJ!
Until they eat their babies
Most responsible dads, yet they still eat their kids sometimes. Not sure how I feel about that.
@@Onihikage Gerbil Mothers also eat their young. A lot more animals than you think cannibalize their young.
@@Onihikage Also Idk if this is true but it is possible that because of the dimorphism or maybe bad eyesight? (I do not know if their eyesight is good or not) between the adult and baby that the adult mistakes the baby for prey
The layers of instincts for that species to continue is wild. Water music, post mating egg reception , oxygen management,
I would love to learn the behind the scenes how these videos are made. incredible content.
duh, insect actors obviously
They have a personal tank and make the environment as close as the real thing to get those shots
@@clintshidwood4511 so true! have you guys not seen the “a bug’s life” bloopers? that’s how the magic happens come on
They are made by filming and editing.

I can't stomach bugs sometimes but I still watch I'm so effed up lol
Beautiful AND creepy.
Same, I always have my hand ready to block the screen in case there’s too much of a close up.
Me whole video- awwwwww
2:55- whelp, reality just set back in.
Only Deep Look can turn a story about a terrifying-looking bug into something heartwarming and, dare I say, endearing.
endareing
So... seems that the more eggs you have, the more of a chad you are in the water bug world.
What happens to the "eggshells" left on its back? Does they dissolve, or wear off?
I would suspect they don't live long enough for that to be an issue
Made me want to grab a pair of tweezers and pick off the hatched sacs.
I think they'd just stay there until the next molt

Great question - we will try to find out.
@@KQEDDeepLook Sorry if I’m being impatient but, have you found out yet?
Not yet! We will want to do some research.

Hey Elyse! I was just about to reach out and ask you this question. :-) Thank you.
I heard in Vietnam, they extracted gland to get the special fluid in it for mixing with fish sauce, delicacy fish sauce for soft rice plates.
I am both amazed and a bit disgusted at the same time... Anyways, great video!

PLEASE STICK TO THE ROACHES AND THE ANTS THAT YOU’RE USED TO
I did too
Its actually very cute and sweet how they know when to surface to give the baby bugs some fresh breathing air. The nymph cannibalism? Not so much.
I was lookin for someone who comments something "cute" about them but you stated a point so I won't uh "antagonize" you by bad mouthing you.

Those insects pops up here in Brazil like mosquitoes near to rivers mostly after rainy days. We call them "water cockroaches"
It is so interesting how each species does things a bit different.
I thought the sea horse was the only one who did this.
"is that your lunch or your kids?"
Yes
How did I get here?

Usually, it's the male putting his kids on the female's back.
BTW, we call those Alligator Fleas down here in FL.
Oohhh - interesting name, had not heard that one yet.
I was just about to go chase one
NO DON'T
The editing was done perfectly.
Awesome work! Would be cool to know how big they get. Hard to put into perspective
Somehow this is very wholesome to me, I mean am I only one who thinks the giant water bug looks cute?
As a dad myself I can confirm that we never care for our offspring. This insect is truly remarkable!
I spent 3 summers working for my step brother's pool company...pretty much everything that lives in stagnant water sucks. Trust me.
Humans... at 18, you're on your own
Water Bug dads... you better sneak away when you hatch, else I'll eat you. 😆
So... an aquatic assassin bug huh.
From what criteria do we established that the one carring eggs is the male ?
I was stung by one of those when I was hunting frogs in a swamp. It was big and white in color. I still remember the pain. 😖 That was 40 years ago.
I was 13 years old.

In Indochina region, people eat this bug. It is popular in Thailand.
