The worst is that they live for few days once butterfly... Between 24h hours and 3 days. Which is really short compared to what they've to go through to survive as a caterpillars :c !
Don't feel too bad for them. If MOST of them didn't get eaten, many other animals, possibly including US, would starve to death after they ate up 90% of the plants around. It's all about balance.
@@sylphephilippe449 Actually, their lifestyle is genius! They spend most their lives living to do nothing but eat and stay safe without a single though of doing anything else...just eat and grow, eat and grow. Then, when theyre big enough, they pupate to become adults, who care only about one thing: Staying alive just long enough to find a mate and lay eggs. Some groups don't even have mouthparts or digestive systems as adults, they don't need them, and having extra organs which aren't being used but still take up energy is a waste. Instead they convert tissues which aren't important for reproducing to fat stores, which are then used to produce wings and sex organs and provide energy for mating. Another thing about complete metamorphosis is the fact that the young don't compete with the adults for resources. Yes, it's sad that the adults don't live very long, but thus just makes their existence all the more precious.
Imagine if THIS virus mutated and jumped to humans... "Suddenly, one of the patrons in the restaurant starts coughing and choking. A few people nearby run to his aid, but it is a mistake. Within seconds, the poor man's eyes roll back in his head, his body swells and bloats... And then explodes, showering the room with droplets and globules of infected pus. The newly infected all scream and try to flee, but the staff have already sealed the doors. No one must be allowed to leave, because even a single infected person will find themselves irresistibly compelled to go to the most crowded place they can find before the virus triggers its death explosion."
@@Zaxares Meh.... we have rabies, a virus that drives an infected individual to attack others, biting them and thus spreading the virus. Virus works on all mammals be it dog, raccoon, bat or human. It is the rage zombie virus but without the fast acting infection.
I have seen these sick caterpillars, ever since I was a kid. I was under the impression that they were sick from that green ooze. But, I never thought that this would be so bad. Amazing footage and narration.
@@KaiReel23 It isn't all fun, but the fight for survival in nature is _technically_ a game. A game of chance, luck, strenght and strategy; where the loser won't get a second chance, and the winner gets to stay and continue playing until they, one day, become the loser themselves
I was in my grandmother's 'garden' one day looking at her roses. Up-top there was a catapiller waving- round furiously, - fending off this wasp that kept hovering up and down and all around it. The catapiller looked like he had a little drop of 'blood' oozing from his back. The wasp was obviously trying to get him for some reason. It was narley. Wicked.
@@gregedgerton3390 well it will lay egg under it and when time will come they will brust out of the carretpiller and the main thing is that it doesn't die it protect it from other insects
what a strangely poetic video. imagine a mysterious force taking control of your brain, telling you you need to climb higher and higher until your limbs start to melt. you want to fight against it, but your vision starts to blur as you reach for the skies, your mind left with just a drop of sanity. at the end of your path, you're on the highest branch: the most dangerous place of all, where all predators can see you. but you're already incapable of feeling anything. you wait for your death as the invisible force consumes you from the inside, in this kind of corrupted catharsis... only for the cycle to begin again. wow.
I don't think its like that at all. I think the virus forces the caterpillar to believe they want to do what they are doing. Maybe some sense of intrigue you just can't explain, but you follow it. And once you are where you wanted to be, you simply stop and wait until you die.
TheMrSol0Dol0 idk why my comment got deleted but I will say it again chinese ppl always get shitted on but u guys ignore white ppl eating their families
Imagine a horror movie like that... "I... I must climb to the roof" "Why?" "Must.... climb... up... I need to go up!" "Well ok, let's go to the roof, you act strange today!" "Now what? Here is nothing!?" "We wait... I feel them coming" "Who? Hey, look at me, who is coming?" "We have to wait... they will come... I feel itchy!" "Stop it. Come down! It's cold out here!" "NOOO! I HAVE TO WAIT!" "Fine, have it your way!" (a few hours later) "OMG, You look so grey, are you ok? Aren't you cold? I called the doctor, he will be here soon" "..." "OMG your fingers are black!" "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?" "... ... they ... they are here!" And then the skin of his face cracks and black spores fly out...
The monsters and real and worse then you could possibly imagine if your an insect! Some of them are scary and gross when your foff monkey that can squish them without thinking let alone if your just a squishy little bug haha
That virus is eerily similar to this fungus that I saw on another documentary which zombified fruit flies. Love the narration,videography,and sound effects. This channel deserves more love.
Yeah, it seems that the capability of mind controlling your host is pretty widespread. Fungi, viruses, wasps, like, damn, that's a lot more things than one would imagine!
@@marcoasturias8520 us humans need to harness this technology and implant it in the brains of all animals We will farm *E V E R Y T H I N G* And when a species is endangered we will force them to mate
@@goodday435 is not like their problem is not wanting to mate, the problem is their numbers are so thin that they have a hard time finding mate and after that, there's very few resources to successfully rise the next generation
What worries me is that where I live, in the South, when I was a kid (80s/90s) there were caterpillars all over the place, and then butter flies, as well as fireflies, would also get woodpeckers around here--- these days I never see them. Never. They're gone.
Shit need me to send you some? I can't keep the bastards under control. I'm going to remove my pollinator areas and spray all the lawn. I just can't do another year of pests eating 80 percent of everything I plant and drawing in creature pests like voles and chipmunks that eat the rest
The way this anime can have fascinating yet unsettling episodes, in a way that they're also just part of the circle of life, mirrors very well much of the natural world - the soundtrack is amazing too.
Me: Reads insect encyclopedia's all day then i pick the ones I need like ants dragonflies tree hoppers then i turn to the Spider encyclopedia's and i just find the ones I need
It'd definitely be a gnarly sight to see. Though it looks like it's spread through contact or by mouth/other orifice (like STIs or Hepatitis A) rather than droplet (flu) or airborne (Tuberculosis/possibly covid). Masks might not be the best prevention in this case but gloves and hand washing will. Let's see how we'll handle a glove campaign
@@fiendish9474 I'm already wearing my mask and following health safety guidelines for COVID and the Flu, you think I wouldn't be doing whatever it takes to avoid getting it if it liquified me? LOL
Exactly and those that survive everything thrown at them barely live for a few weeks at most as an adult, some moths even lack digestive systems so they starve to death. Too small a reward for what they went through if you ask me, looks like nature went out of its way to screw these guys over.
So many insects have some sort of parasite or virus that takes control of it's host. If you ever think you're having a bad day at least you've realize it these poor buggers don't even know that.
This channel is beautiful. Thought it was BBC at first just a different narrator. Thank you for this ! Please continue !! The hard work will pay off !!
I find it funny that this channel's called 'candiru'. If you know what type of fish it is and what it is capable of, you'd either laugh or be somewhat mortified...
the virus spread by their contact with leaves that other caterpillars go on to eat, if they were taking care of others, they would just stay put and die.
Well, this is a virus, so no. It’s not related to Cordyceps. As terrifying as it is, parasitic mind control has convergently evolved quite a number of times across multiple kingdoms of life.
It's as though evil and vile intent is built into nature. Maybe good is as well, but evil most definitely. I wouldn't weep if all viruses on earth were eradicated.
Oh God, I watched this happen to a caterpillar I found last year... I had no idea... He kept looking like he was gonna pupate but he went from stunning emerald green to brown and saggy...
I feel like caterpillars are the ones who have to go through this crap, sickness, parasites, temperature, predators, etc, like actually lol I feel pretty bad for them as they are the most unfortunate
Uh huh. Think I'mma delete YT. How tf I watched season 5 JoJo on a seperate app and JUST finish the ep talking about this and YT just SUDDENLY recommends this? Y'all need to get up out my phone.
Love how your channel is named after a fish that supposedly swims into men’s urethras though that’s most definitely not true and the man who had one in there surgically moved was questionable seemingly having inserted it himself.
I'm sure the film team put that second caterpillar close to the first one. The end it started on wasn't connected to anything; plus, nature documentary producers have been known to 'spice things up' in the past to make more people watch!
...OR...the catterpillars does not looses their minds and isolate themselves so they do not spread the diseases to others. Think about this next time you see anyone who make stuff that can spread any diseases. The animal/insect kingdom is not dumb as people are led to believe. Differently than humans, most animals and insects do care about their folk.
"I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high-ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program. "A few insiders know the truth...and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon. "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955. "It's still classified above Top Secret." - Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975 “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960. “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981 “Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D.

I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon.
