I love insects so much, and through photography and interest, i've began finding it easier to just handle insects and not worry so much about bites and such. I've learned unless provoked, insects are typically really calm! So i'm extremely happy to find your channel as I don't know where to find certain insects and this is a really entertaining way to find out! Subbed. Also, how do you find these lush areas? Where I live its harder to find these places due to urbanization, really the only areas we have are parks.

@GeneralApathy Год назад

I had access to private property when making this video. There are a lot of lush forests, often protected, in Panama regardless though.

You need to watch cheap 80s Italian horror like Fulci and you'll realize there's nothing to be scared of from the few minor bites he gets in these vids. Most of the bugs can barely break the skin.

So, since the cyanide the millipedes release is only harmful if ingested, that means they are poisonous, rather than venomous, correct? Some really cool specimens. Thanks for sharing your adventure, noble sir! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who is more comfortable handling invertebrates than you.

what you said about most ants not bothering millipedes is true. however there are some ant species that actually specialize in taking down millipedes. i was recently in thailand and there i found a cool scene of the gorgous blue leptogenys chalybaea forming daisy chains to transport a rather large pill millipede.

@GeneralApathy Год назад

I have never been further east than the Persian Gulf, so I do not have any experience in that region of the world. I do know that the climate is quite humid during peak insect activity, so you should be extra wary of desiccation. If you have a general idea of the species you seek, I may be able to provide better advice.

@del7o Год назад

@@GeneralApathy that's definitely something to think about. if you don't mind me asking, how do you gather information about what you're looking for prior to travelling? do you use a website, or Is this some sort of a career for you as well as a hobby? thanks for the help.

@jbuburuz Год назад

Thank you very cool video. I first saw one these tractor millipedes in New York state park on the side of tree 10years ago. I could never figure out if US has these beautiful large millipedes why people doing educational shows don't use these more for hands on or demonstration Most people seem to use the large black millipedes from African for show. I think the tractor type millipede I saw was likey 4 inches. I assume maybe the tractor centipede sprays more?

That stench a millipede gives out, is that too cyanide..? It's very pungent on the nose.. And speaking of albino, I've noticed more n more around than usual.. At my place, this very moment, I've two (what's suppose to be) red back spiders.. ..the web, the placement (area of home), the eggs n a stain on it's back matches everything about the redback.. ..just that it's kinda clear like.. I've noticed small roaches, pray-mantis, millipedes, flies, n spiders being albino.. Now one or three would maybe be normal to none; and yet every week, we see a fair few.. Question: would something in the zones play a role..? Since I'm only seeing this many on eastcoast..?

Technically, I don’t think so. Arthropods don’t produce melanin to begin with. They may lack the various other pigments they are supposed to produce, but that may not fit the definition of albino.
