These Caterpillars Never Stood a Chance Against the Bodysnatcher Wasp | Trials Of Life | BBC Earth 

... I don't know how to break this to you, but there are wasps that lay eggs into humans as well, given the chance.

Well, humans have similar things with human trafficking. The media just doesn't cover it but kids can wake up to a world of slavery or cannibalism despite living the dream the day before. All countries seem to have this same network of traffickers.

@@theGreaterAwareness how does human trafficking compare to having your insides devoured alive by maggots which a wasp injected into your body?

@@Kuolonen I thought those were Bot-flies? Haven't heard of wasps successfully reproducing in humans.

@@Kuolonen you can easly remove those, the worst part would be getting stung

5 minutes in a wasp life, that's like what? 6 months in human years? David really came through here

typo imao XD

Or anything but a human... duhhh. Lame comment

What a blesd human not any kind of insects or animals 😕.

@@bontronblock no it is not lame, what if u wanted to be a bear with a gun

@@aliciaspringer2771 It is lame lol. Might is right/survival of the fittest/only the strong survive = These are sayings for a reason lol its a Natural Law. Which actually means more in reality then the ones you willingly follow created by Men. At least being a weak Human come in the form of Bullying/Harrasment cause by the law of the real world you DIE for being weak & only duty I do being food so the strong survives longer

Unless its about climate change, hes a bit extreme on those views

I agree.

Here, all ye good people

Then stfu.

Jeremy Irons is great too. But yeah, Attenborough for surough.

You going to take that mark?

or a chicken, or fish, or pig, or cow, or goat ...

@@illustriousmonster haha!!

The wasp is like "Hey human, you did not parasite him yet? Can I? Thanks!"

That was so crazy ion see why there arent more comments on it

🛎

“Sweet, a freebie!”

I thought that was called the furnace room?

BBC-BigBlackCok

@@DarkraiNewmoon - What?

@@Gegondrein - What?

What?

True, but if left to their own devices the caterpillars would likely nom the leaves to death. It's for the best that wasps nom a few caterpillars too~

All bugs must die

@@TheBest-ud9bd true.

@@smackyfrog6046 If all bugs die all humans would die, too. So if you happen to be a cartoon supervillain that's an admirable goal~

All the leaves wanted was to chill and produce food :'(

* Roboppi * as a newborn baby _you_ knew how to breath, suckle, blink, cough and sneeze! Nature is pretty awesome.

@@JulieWallis1963 Very true, I never quite thought of that. But it's amazing how insects and animals know exactly what to do without learning it, as some of their activities are kind of complex with very specific details.

@@yearginclarke Even more impressive in my opinion are the octopus. They are for the most part solitary hunters and incredibly intelligent. They are taught absolutely nothing from their parents. In fact some octopus mother lay their eggs in some crevasse and then simply just stay with the eggs until she dies. When the small octo-babies are born they are on their own, and somehow many of them survive and even thrive in the seas. Compared to a human baby that needs 18 years to become a legal adult, and probably around 30 years to be an actual adult. And there are even humans that never grow out of childhood, just look at twitter.

@@Moldylocks Lmao at the twitter observation, so true! But yeah, I didn't know that about octopus. Nature is amazing, very fascinating.

Alien was all I could think about when he first said they lay their eggs in them

the Alien film was also based on the dragon fly nymph with its lower extruding mandible.

They werre literally the first inspiration for the Alien.

@@paulohenriqueferreiradealm1893 I was going to write the same thought, Paulo! Look to nature for thrills and chills!

@@karenbrown4524 A woman of culture, I see.

Richard Dawkins.

Avispas imperialistas...

Lmao That’s a slam dunk all day mate.

These are all solitary wasps. As a result they don't really sting humans because its not worth it tge way hive wasps can.

Waiter, check please!

LOL!!!! __Everybody do the Michigan RAAAaaaaag_ !!!

That's what I was thinking.

You havnt seen ALIENS "

@@dconfused9919 yes wanted to say that too!!

It's not the clip, it's your monthly herpes coming back... ;)

DoodOverThere me no

Me too! LMAO..... I felt disgusting as fxxk. XD I kept checking myself....

Same

doesn't really make up for everything else

@@firelight7718 kinda does, considering wasps also are important pollinators and population control. They do more good than harm, we just hate them because they have a stinger.

Not dancing it leaving a chemical marker 👊

Wasps are sometimes pollinators and being a hatred by humans

Maybe there's something to be learned from that? Perhaps dancing in the area where you place an object can help you remember where you put it. No more lost car keys, lol

Cool! I'm considering looking for the dvds

😫

I hope these wasps were paid in royalties.

@Not Alfie I don't think you're great at comprehending sarcasm or nuances of language if you took that comment as 100% serious at face value.

All art is based on reality.

I was drilling some holes in my door-frame: I left-off for a day and returned to find that a wasp was busy stopping-up one of the screw-holes with chewed-up wood. I left-off the job and kept an eye open for developments, until one day the screw-hole was open again and whatever had hatched inside had made a break for freedom. Wasps have also built small onion-shaped nests in my roof-space, probably the same ones that can be seen removing bits of wood from my neighbours' fence with their jaws. Admirable in a way, like the lengths the small orb-spiders go to in late summer to build their big webs right across my garden.

@@johnhardman3 i felt uncomfortable reading this

Some are very fuzzy it helps prevent wasps from stinging them. Others feast on toxic plants and become poisonous.

Some species have the protection of ants if they can produce the sweet substance for them

Ikr but there is already a kind of caterpillar that will bite and tear off limbs from insects even a beatle

This didn't scare me one bit, are you a coward?

Sure bud

That's dumb. Other creatures can eat the caterpillars in a less torturing way.

" p e r f e c t l y "

@@equinox3861 They don't feel the pain. You can't apply the notion of torture here.

@@Rathbone_fan_account For one you're assuming that the concept of human pain translates the same in other organisms. Insects may perceive harmful stimuli in a manner different than we do, but is painful to them. Second, torture can be figurative just as someone can be "mentally tortured" although not in actual physical pain. Insects react to certain kinds of harmful stimuli so it's possible to say "they can suffer" as insects much like the rest of us try to stay alive at whatever capacity they can.

Nope. He's just going to have to stay here a good while longer.

(To Aguila...) We do it to each other, one way or another.

Mhm, despite some people saying "Ohh, bad parasite, must be burned for killing poor cartepillars", let's remind ourselves that population control in nature is as important as pollinating, for the environment and humans alike (for the environment a surplus of a species equals a harmful imbalance, for people a destruction of agriculture [thus less food], especially when said species is herbivore)

^You're not fooling anyone behind that computer, Praying Mantis

It's not fun, it's just a good idea...

@@GreenHoleSun Good ideas _are_ fun to me. 😁

@@Gothead420 I see your point

I think you misunderstood how to do hold my beer jokes.

wasted opportunity

Attenborough so casually offers up a caterpillar to a horrible fate.

today i learned that dvds still exist

hahahahaha

These Caterpillars actually do feel pain in that process of growing eggs

@@oh_hi_mark805 how do you know?

@@Leo.23232 Caterpillars like other insects, have a nervous system that allows them to respond to stimuli, they have nociceptors, which are sensory receptors that detect harmful stimuli. This suggests they can experience something akin to pain or discomfort. However, the nature and subjective experience of this "pain" are not well understood and are likely very different from the human experience of pain. When parasitic insects, such as certain wasps in this case, lay their eggs inside caterpillars, the larvae hatch and consume the caterpillar from the inside. The caterpillar likely experiences some form of distress or discomfort during this process, as it can exhibit behaviors indicating it is trying to rid itself of the parasites.

@@oh_hi_mark805 Responding to stimuli is not evidence of something being able to experience pain or discomfort, i could program a robot to flinch and say 'ow' if I hit it, most would agree the robot didn't actually feel pain. So I dont find the evidence you provided very convincing.

They are still shown on tv... so yeah, there actually are numerous amounts of people still paying to see it...

KMSL 😂😂😂

So true. If god existed, and if he truly was the way the bible says he is, then a lot of things would be very different. The cruel and violent nature itself is the proof that such a creature does not exist.

@Spiderman Humanity and insects are different.. God exists, and even how cruel you may think that God allowed that monstrosity to happen, there is always a reason. The problem with people, they always like to question the way of the Divine, they always like to associate God to justice and kindness only to get disappointed by what's happening on their surroundings . They got the wrong conception of what God is. That is totally wrong...God is God, whatever he chooses..humanity has no right to question or to complain.In our simple mind what's happening is very cruel and full of injustice..however that's all we know based on the innate moral within us ..we clearly do not see the behind reason or the general picture of why it's happening. Mankind should not brag their sense of justice and morality because without God,(Supreme Creator ) where did those values come from? why we have the concept of right vs wrong?of justice vs unfairness? You see sir, I understand your point..I really do, believe me..it's just that on this world..every living things is not on the same level..some were created to become predator and others are prey/helpless..some were destined to greatness and others were born just to suffer from the beginning until death. Yes..truly..unfair indeed!!!however I would like to point out that this world is just a temporary dwelling and it's also been corrupted by darkness. Don't you see people, if God exists, then the "OPPOSITE" side also exists..due to that, SUFFERING/PAIN is inevitable. The question now is , why God allowed that to happen?because men who were supposed to be the care taker of this world preferred evil things. Their hearts are full of malicious desire..so earth that was supposed to be a paradise became the breeding ground of Darkness..life become harder and harder as time passes by and it's truly the survival of the fittest..however our life here is just temporary, the life force within our body will return to the Creator when it's time for us to leave this place. God is real and he is watching..and he is not like Zeus or Odin ( gods that have a physical body with puny powers and have mundane desires ).the real God..he is a Spirit, a Supreme Force operating in a spiritual realm but has power over the Physical realm. Do not say or assume that there is no God because of so MANY BAD things that are happening, because I'm telling you as house or a building couldn't be just POP UP without its builders, it is same with the universe , it cannot exists without its Creator.

@Mc Mermate you must be the life of the party? How many years now?......that you've been single.
