Caffeine is Toxic to Beetles...Except the Coffee Borer | Microbe Minute

Like coffee? Not as much as these borer beetles! A big dose of caffeine would kill most insects, but with the help of symbiotic microbes, these beetles can chow down on as many coffee beans as their little insect hearts desire.

This felt more like a teaser than a full video. I want to know more!

I get the same amount of information if I only read the title.

Having a set time frame for a video can be helpful, however, a minute is too short. I'm wish it would go into more detail, and I'm left wanting more, which is usually good, but in this case I know on the particular topic I'm just going to be left unsatisfied. The previous video broke beyond the one minute barrier and is awesome for it. If you want to keep them short 4 minutes is a good mark as shown by the Vlog Brothers. You have a quality production and very interesting information, so we'd love to see more.
