Nature is actually pretty interesting. This parasite not only invaded it's body, but it also took over it's mind. Like something out of Science Fiction.
eilrahc700 don’t be. There isn’t a wasp that does this to humans...the botfly already does this, and we are so big that when they break out, they don’t kill us in the process
that is smart of them, you want (as a parasite) to exploit your victim as much as possible. by keeping it alive the can feed more of it, and it protects them afterwards.
@@MilhSpears what I mean by saying "smart" is keeping the host a live as much as possible raises their chances of survival. They could eat what ever they encounter first killing the host faster but the action of selective and planned eating shows some kind of thinking.
"alright, brothers and sisters, do we feel sorry for the caterpillar?" "YES" "DID WE CHOOSE TO BE PARASITIC?" "NO" "DID WE CHOOSE TO KILL A HOST FOR OUR SURVIVAL?" "NO" "THEN LET'S NOT TOUCH A SINGE VITAL ORGAN" "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES"
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It blows my mind that the caterpillar spins its cocoon on the wasps, then protects it until it starves to death. That the wasps' venom has that much control over its host to reprogram its brain and literally enslave it is as mysterious to me as quantum physics or aliens or ghosts. In conclusion: WOW!
Toxoplasmosis gondii in cats does exactly the same thing - affecting the brain of mice (their intermediary host), preventing them from fleeing from cat urine and becoming fearless. This way Toxo can find another cat to infect and then reproduce. Toxo can also affect humans, causing aggression and other issues.
Soul Semblance Show THIS to some delusional vegan-hippies that try to tell me "oh but animals are kindhearted and humans are the bad ones". These guys have never actually been in nature.
@@rothang4698 yo, nature has its homies. That caterpiller has his homie's back. They may have tried to turn him doqn, but he has true homies. You best respect that.
maher shawkat no they're not you idiot! Those are parasites that are eating the caterpillar inside out. They got there through the parasitic wasp. So YES you would be doing them a favor.
I know its been a year but basically it comes down to 2 thing 1. Its skin snaps back into shape like a rubber band after the catapylars exit 2. Insect blood dries and forms a scab much faster than human blood If it weren't for this the catapiler would bleed out
The wasp larvae shed their skin inside the caterpillar as they grow. They apparently seal the wounds of the caterpillar as they exit. This prevents the caterpillar from bleeding out.
I have just witnessed exactly this with 3 caterpillars in my garden. It's horrifying and I couldn't understand how on Earth they were still alive after having all those cocoons come out of them! Very bizarre and shocking. And, yes, they are much more aggressive than normal. What a way to go. :(
why do u think so? are three any parasitoids feasting on human flesh from inside... our is there any animal eating humans? i think our species pretty much good favoured by nature and evolution
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life..!.!.
Its just a track made for this episode. The genre is Breakcore though and its hard to find some good ones. One artist of Breakcore to know is Goreshit.
The caterpillar protecting the wasps makes me think of a mother who adopts a few kids who turns out to be evil, but after being used and abused by them she stills takes care of them because in her mind they're still just kids that needs love and care.
Caterpillars themselves are kids, basically. It'd be roughly the equivalent of pubescent teenager. They still have an entire metamorphosis to go through to be adults. of course, these ones will never get that far.
It's very important to understand nature because of abity and dangerous situations and weather conditions and other conditions are caused by climate change and new insects are coming UK like giant Asian hornets and false widows and black widows that contains deadly venom it will kill you caused by shock waves in your body when you get bitten it is very important to protect your skin and your body
Oh this is nothing compared to the full glory of the horrific things mother nature has to offer, not to mention how the universe works. IF there is a god, and its creation is a reflection of how it thinks, we should all be very, very afraid. The universe reveals to us, once you start to understand it even in the smallest ways, you realise that our reality is a grotesque mockery of how human logic would have us picture it. What it says about its maker if there is one, is that its utterly alien to us, and not at all the loving father who made us in its image, as some holy books would claim.
Dude, how did the wasps literally freaking exploding out of the caterpillar not kill it?!?!??! How does it live long enough after having its body excavated to spin a cocoon for those freaks, nonetheless guard them for however as long as they did?!?
Its nature... The wasp basically changed the way the caterpillar thinks. Usually Caterpillars dont even take care of their own young so this behavior clearly shows just how nature works
The exoskeletons of the larvae fills up the wounds/holes of the caterpillar when they get out. Also, the caterpillars keep behaving normally while being infested with the larvae, thus eating. The larvae come all out at once!
I thought the caterpillar died from the hatching of these little chestbusters. I wasn't aware of the part when it protected them from predators like "these are my babies, keep away!" They should have added this feature in the Alien franchise movies.
It makes sense why the caterpillar survives because it protects the babies.. So even though the babies fed on the caterpillars blood it also knew that they wanted to keep the animal alive
This video made me slightly sick. How twisted nature can be sometimes.... It's both amazing and disturbing. I'm trying to raise a bunch of these caterpillars (wanna see them turn into butterflies, I've never seen that happen in person). I sincerely hope they're not infected with these larvae.
No one finds it cool that one biological creature is capable of hijacking another to raise its young? No one? Just me? Okay; I got here because I looked these creatures up since their mind controlling effects intrigue me.
You're not alone. I think it's pretty crazy how there are "hyperparasitoids" that target the usual parasitic wasps. There's actually a type of pea plant that sends out pheromones that causes nearby plants of that species to doing the same thing and attracting parasitoids because they can tell when a caterpillar is munching on their leaves.
+Taylor Cason Yes! That same plant also sends out signals to find out who it's neighbours are. If a sibling, it will conserve resource consumption so to 'share'. If not, it aggressively seizes ground from it's family's competitors!
WRFM PaRaDoX Oh, that's awesome! It's cool how plants can do that kind of thing. Especially since they don't have a brain or nerves like mammals, reptiles, birds, and (etc.) do.
No caterpillar, Noooooo..!!! He.. He's dead!! What a way to live your live. Human, as respect for the dead caterpillar, we must do the same thing. Revenge is not always the solution. Pay them with kindness, and die gracefully. Written by, a former parasitic resident.
I wish i had a bro like that caterpillar. But anytime is ask my friends to let me feast on their blood and to give me protection whilst my pupation they call me crazy! Ungrateful world we live in fellas.
Olha isso: www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/07/cats-facts-jerks_n_4520552.html Quotando: "[...] which means that Toxoplasma has developed a complex system of overtaking the host's brain to increase the chance that it will be eaten by one." Tem até um curta-metragem triller/horror: vodo.net/kittykitty
This is amazing. The evolution of the parasitic wasp would be amazing on its own, but what is even more fascinating is the Polydnavirus which has integrated into the wasp germ line and is mediating the transfer of genes from the wasp larvae to the host. It's two complex life cycles which have become intertwined through evolution.
Looks fake to me. The mouth animations gave it away for me. Plus there were wayyyy too many larvae to place a camera that deep in it. Could be wrong though.
Omg... So I had found some cucumber butterfly caterpillars in my garden, I took them in my house and fed them, I wanted to watch them pupate and hatch out. Well two did, but one started spinning a silk that then came a live with tiny bodies erupting from it, it freaked me out so much! I removed the two normal caterpillars and killed the one with all the creepy worms coming from it. Seeing this, I'm glad I did, it killed the wasps and ended the caterpillars suffering. The other two hatched out into beautiful white butterflies.
That's pretty messed up, saying you konw better than does Mother Nature. You don know something called the "Food chain" right? Remove one single animal from it and drastic changes will occur. That's already happened a couple of times now, and we've seen the negative effects with little to no upsides. This is just like the mosquito argument, why don't we just obliterate the mosquitos? For the arguments I've shown, as other animals would go extinct because of those stupid actions. Also, you're being both ironic and moronic because not only are you being, at least to a majority of the population, immoral by these actions of extinction, but you're being moronic as you think people would either fully agree with you, of support your claims by any means of rationality, which I can deduce there is 0% from you.
@@stevennguyen5771 Yeah samey-same with slugs... I cut them up with scissors and have seen the head and a bit of the body crawling away! It's a lesson in bloodyminded determination as when it eats breakfast the next morning, hows it gonna digest its food when its stomach is now just a memory!
@@Pandababy1950 so unlike a caterpillar humans dont die when human parasite emerge out of a human a caterpillar few hours later after being emerged with countless wasp larvae already dies have you thought of that?
+Christian Johnson this is nature: carnivore kills herbivore: carnivore eats herbivore: carnivore dies by age (If lucky): if carnivore lives longer it might kill or give human (or bug) a nuckiler virus and might die. hope u have a great day ^-^
*Parasitism* - a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other (the host) is harmed. *example: you and your boyfriend/girlfriend*
Probably one of the best Nationa Geographic Bug videos ever. Would've been better if we saw the infection event and the adulthood of the larvae though...
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars. Charles Darwin
And God also created the *pelican* who swallows young birds whole and let stomach acid and suffocation kill them slowly. If the pelican doesn't eat it itself it will regurgitate the bird so that its own chicks can peck the stomach acid covered bird to death. This creature of God can roam free but even the kindest unbelieving human will be tortured in hell forever.
Charlie boy is a bit old school. Has some good views on certain things.. however he is not a complete authority on everything.. infact a frenchy beat him to the punch with a much better thesis anyway and as other things are discovered.. eg knowledgenuts.com/2013/11/23/insects-dont-feel-pain/ caterpillars and other insects will carry on with their routine even while being eaten.. well then it makes the comment you posted, completely and utterly redundant :P :)
geirtwo yes of course, pelican may kill that young birds maybe one in a day, but that is human who capture other hundred, thousand, or even more other human, and sell them as slaves....so that other human can do anything to them
WOW! that was crazy! I thought the caterpillar had like 2 of those wasp larva inside of it, not that many! and I'm always amazed how they film all this footage, inside the caterpillar, even the teeth of the larva. amazing! &crazy!
How in the living fuck does that thing know how to leave the vital organs alone until the right moment? How the fuck does it even know what the vital organs are? How the hell do they know when it's time to release the paralyzing chemicals? Then after all that.. it possesses the caterpillar to guard them UNTIL IT STARVES TO DEATH?!!? No wonder these things work better than bug sprays
how do babies know how to breathe and blink? they just developed with the knowledge just like the parasites develope with the knowledge of what to do to not kill the caterpillar
as for knowing which organs are vital, they probably don't. They probably just have certain behaviors that do not harm it's vital organs, but allow for it to gain nutrients from the caterpillar's blood. In terms of synchronizing their escape from the caterpillar, the larvae probably release some sort of hormone/chemical signal to each other that flows around in the blood of the caterpillar. The first larvae to reach maturity will probably do this, as they each probably have the same growth rate since they drink from the same blood, and the other larvae will pick up the chemical signals/hormones, triggering their escape behaviors (paralysis + using teeth to get out). As far as taking over the caterpillar's brain, I don't know.

No one finds it cool that one biological creature is capable of hijacking another to raise its young? No one? Just me? Okay; I got here because I looked these creatures up since their mind controlling effects intrigue me.
You're not alone. I think it's pretty crazy how there are "hyperparasitoids" that target the usual parasitic wasps. There's actually a type of pea plant that sends out pheromones that causes nearby plants of that species to doing the same thing and attracting parasitoids because they can tell when a caterpillar is munching on their leaves.
Cool; I'll have to look that up next. Thanks for mentioning it. :-P
STEAM_Vortex No trouble at all. :]
+Taylor Cason Yes! That same plant also sends out signals to find out who it's neighbours are. If a sibling, it will conserve resource consumption so to 'share'. If not, it aggressively seizes ground from it's family's competitors!
WRFM PaRaDoX Oh, that's awesome! It's cool how plants can do that kind of thing. Especially since they don't have a brain or nerves like mammals, reptiles, birds, and (etc.) do.
Who else is mind blown?
Sounds like the wasps got to you
That caterpillar sure got his mind blown
"...Just beneath the skin."
Me: *itches side vigurously*
No caterpillar, Noooooo..!!! He.. He's dead!! What a way to live your live. Human, as respect for the dead caterpillar, we must do the same thing. Revenge is not always the solution. Pay them with kindness, and die gracefully. Written by, a former parasitic resident.
Fuck that, let's lay our unborn children in the Wasp larvae and SEE HOW THEY LIKE THAT SHIT!

is zoology fun and do you recommend it? I was interested in it.
So the Wasp has the Ability to Mind Control?

Ask the CIA
Some wasps can do that
Not on all brains, I'm sure a human brain is more complex than an insect so we're safe :D

I wish i had a bro like that caterpillar. But anytime is ask my friends to let me feast on their blood and to give me protection whilst my pupation they call me crazy! Ungrateful world we live in fellas.
Nature is amazing, but this footage is too! It blows my mind that they were able to get such close-up videos.

For a second I thought this was how caterpillars gave birth.
That's like saying that a puppy dog can give birth to other puppy dogs dude..

This is amazing. The evolution of the parasitic wasp would be amazing on its own, but what is even more fascinating is the Polydnavirus which has integrated into the wasp germ line and is mediating the transfer of genes from the wasp larvae to the host. It's two complex life cycles which have become intertwined through evolution.
how the hell did they put the camera inside the caterpillar
Puppets.
almond_assistant woosh
They are puppets
lmao they didnt
almond_assistant r/whoooooooooooosh
How do they get a microcamera into the body of the caterpillar?
may be a reconstruction
nanotechnology maybe
wasp larvae head-cam
You don't.
God's just working his magic.
Looks fake to me. The mouth animations gave it away for me. Plus there were wayyyy too many larvae to place a camera that deep in it. Could be wrong though.
How the narrator lady stays so calm throught all this, I can't even..
Omg... So I had found some cucumber butterfly caterpillars in my garden, I took them in my house and fed them, I wanted to watch them pupate and hatch out. Well two did, but one started spinning a silk that then came a live with tiny bodies erupting from it, it freaked me out so much! I removed the two normal caterpillars and killed the one with all the creepy worms coming from it. Seeing this, I'm glad I did, it killed the wasps and ended the caterpillars suffering. The other two hatched out into beautiful white butterflies.
Robin Meier how are caterpillars the same as the wasp larvae? They’re not parasitic...
I don't believe anyone who writes like this.
You murderer....!!!!
@@Halcypian And now we will select them for beauty and having a live cycle that fits our ideas of morality. To me, that's great.
That's pretty messed up, saying you konw better than does Mother Nature. You don know something called the "Food chain" right? Remove one single animal from it and drastic changes will occur. That's already happened a couple of times now, and we've seen the negative effects with little to no upsides.
This is just like the mosquito argument, why don't we just obliterate the mosquitos? For the arguments I've shown, as other animals would go extinct because of those stupid actions. Also, you're being both ironic and moronic because not only are you being, at least to a majority of the population, immoral by these actions of extinction, but you're being moronic as you think people would either fully agree with you, of support your claims by any means of rationality, which I can deduce there is 0% from you.
Nature is remarkable. The camera work in this video is amazing.
The real quesion is how tf they see inside this caterpillar ?
CGI of course

How did he not die after having all them holes bust in him?
sam benoit well bugs can survive a lot more than humans. Every time I crush a bug the bug will still be alive and trying to get away.
@Vincenzo D'Amico Ohh, so it just feels good for the Caterpiller?
I was thinking that MYSELF, though I did not pose that in a comment. Thanks for asking that to.
@Vincenzo D'Amico lol.... 😂😂😂

Yeah samey-same with slugs... I cut them up with scissors and have seen the head and a bit of the body crawling away!
It's a lesson in bloodyminded determination as when it eats breakfast the next morning, hows it gonna digest its food when its stomach is now just a memory!
Great, another reason I don't want to leave the house.

Dang, you’re a human, too?
Crazy how the world works sometimes, ya know
@@Pandababy1950 so unlike a caterpillar humans dont die when human parasite emerge out of a human a caterpillar few hours later after being emerged with countless wasp larvae already dies have you thought of that?
Nature is so beautiful...
Fuck u mean? You saw that shit right.. they ripped that poor guy apart and forced him to protect the Parasite.
Maybe he loves them, beautiful
+Christian Johnson this is nature: carnivore kills herbivore: carnivore eats herbivore: carnivore dies by age (If lucky): if carnivore lives longer it might kill or give human (or bug) a nuckiler virus and might die. hope u have a great day ^-^
*Parasitism* - a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other (the host) is harmed.

+Fexxe You mean 3D render?
are you stupid or something?! It is CGI! DUMBASS
+The PUNisher 9000 it's puppets. looks too good to be TV budget CGI. much cheaper and easier to use simple puppets
They had micro-camera guys.
Camera injected into catapiller same way most surgeries are done today.
life is a doosy, i feeel so freaked out by this vid that i feel like theres worms under my skin. arrghhh, i need to watch something bright. lol
Precisely how i feel, headed straight for some disney fairy tales
i know peep and the big wide world my childhood show
i feel something under my neck
Lol I agree, I love watching these videos but it makes me feel like I got parasites living in my body, hopefully I don't, I don't think I do.....

Thank me later

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
Charles Darwin
And God also created the *pelican* who swallows young birds whole and let stomach acid and suffocation kill them slowly. If the pelican doesn't eat it itself it will regurgitate the bird so that its own chicks can peck the stomach acid covered bird to death.
This creature of God can roam free but even the kindest unbelieving human will be tortured in hell forever.
Charlie boy is a bit old school. Has some good views on certain things.. however he is not a complete authority on everything.. infact a frenchy beat him to the punch with a much better thesis anyway and as other things are discovered.. eg knowledgenuts.com/2013/11/23/insects-dont-feel-pain/ caterpillars and other insects will carry on with their routine even while being eaten.. well then it makes the comment you posted, completely and utterly redundant :P :)
geirtwo yes of course, pelican may kill that young birds maybe one in a day, but that is human who capture other hundred, thousand, or even more other human, and sell them as slaves....so that other human can do anything to them

the visual of a caterpillar rapidly spinning silk while breakcore plays in the background is hilarious
WOW! that was crazy! I thought the caterpillar had like 2 of those wasp larva inside of it, not that many! and I'm always amazed how they film all this footage, inside the caterpillar, even the teeth of the larva. amazing! &crazy!
I Agree WOW!
usaully there are 50 eggs inside it
There are two caterpillars like this on my marigold and I was so confused at first and had to look it up and now I understand. Thank you NatGeo

So, you telling me the wasps turn the caterpillar into a mind-controlled zombie that helps them survive?
+AirplaneDude Yeah, its awesome.
My question is, how did they get the camera in there?
Good question!
its a simulation
pretty sure it's a computer animation
My guess is its a common event. They just have to find a caterpillar that has been infected and then keep videoing.
They put it on W for Wumbo
i feel bad for the caterpillar xD
3:58 lol the breakcore in the background...
It's sick.
How in the living fuck does that thing know how to leave the vital organs alone until the right moment? How the fuck does it even know what the vital organs are? How the hell do they know when it's time to release the paralyzing chemicals? Then after all that.. it possesses the caterpillar to guard them UNTIL IT STARVES TO DEATH?!!? No wonder these things work better than bug sprays
how do babies know how to breathe and blink? they just developed with the knowledge just like the parasites develope with the knowledge of what to do to not kill the caterpillar
Thanks...
as for knowing which organs are vital, they probably don't. They probably just have certain behaviors that do not harm it's vital organs, but allow for it to gain nutrients from the caterpillar's blood. In terms of synchronizing their escape from the caterpillar, the larvae probably release some sort of hormone/chemical signal to each other that flows around in the blood of the caterpillar. The first larvae to reach maturity will probably do this, as they each probably have the same growth rate since they drink from the same blood, and the other larvae will pick up the chemical signals/hormones, triggering their escape behaviors (paralysis + using teeth to get out).
As far as taking over the caterpillar's brain, I don't know.
Armydillo 101 Well clearly it didn't come about by chance or by some evolution.
How does a child know that chocolate is OK to eat, but feces are not? Kinda like that, I imagine.
