@@TeamCandiru Any chance you could clean up the closed captions - or I could send them to you? This is great video, but the automated text in English is uncomfortably bad.
@@matijas7994 actually it's something in the Coccinellidae Genera but in the UK we affectionately call them ladybirds, a reduction from Our Lady's birds as early depictions of the mother of Christ showed her wearing a red cloak with 7 spots to represent her 7 sorrows. Other countries/languages have different names for them with North America's being ladybug, however this is a bit of a misnomer as this insect cannot be scientifically described as a 'true bug'.
@@matijas7994 to reply to your first comment, I myself did some online research where I discovered this truth for myself so I could respond to you. If you type 'true bug Wikipedia' into Google, I'm sure it'll give you the information you'll need to answer your question. Edit: I say truth... ideology, maybe
Aphid hunter wasps can be encouraged to nest in your garden by providing them wooden nesting blocks with 1/8th inch diameter holes drilled as deep as your bit will go without going all the way through the wood.
Nature never fails to amaze me! I learn everyday about life, watching wild life; it tells us about natural laws that are not tempered by Human intelligence, teaching us about how to be in our own society, and how we relate to nature itself
@@geoplane3799 Yes they are like the sheep or cows of the bug world. Ants love to farming them. Just as we do with Farm animals. Is interesting and coo right?
I have no idea why you made this, or how I found it. But your channel is amazing. The only thing I'm upset by is the fact that I havent seen these anywhere
I hate aphids and scale but the fact that ants herd and keep them like we do cattle is amazing. That said the fact the ants consume their more or less shit is disgusting.
Wasps keep rapid breeding insects and arachnids under control, and, contrary to popular belief, pollinate quite a lot. Their benefits are usually overlooked because everyone only gives bees attention, even scientists, which can obviously be problematic. Also, common knowledge says aphids are pests, so looking at the video, putting 2 & 2 together, that one should explain itself.
Oh and it seems your tittle is incorrect it was only one wasp not wasps and damn sure not wasps and ants battling out hey some people pay attention to the small detail literally
He is God, the Creator, the Maker who shapes all forms and appearances! All that is in the heavens and on earth extols His limitless glory: for He alone is almighty, truly wise! Quran
