How to Survive the Insect Apocalypse
I am sorry to bug you, but do you think you could survive the insect apocalypse? insects do so many functions in ecosystems that the loss of insects could be catastrophic, there would be next to nothing to eat as between insects pollinating plants and being eaten themselves, they are essentially critical to the functioning of most terrestrial ecosystems. While declines had been noticed anecdotally such as with windshield phenomenon, finally hard data has begun to come in as studies on insects are published and it doesn't look good...

Why Save Nature? The Philosophy of Environmental Protection
You brought up lots of great points in here JJ, and as always the diversity of species you were able to film over in Borneo is incredible. Insects are so vastly overlooked and misunderstood, and you make a great case for why people really need to protect them more and be conscious of the ongoing conservation threats they’re facing. Great stuff!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
I keep spiders (mostly 6+inch tarantulas) I can confirm they can definitely eat plus 10 crickets a day . :) . Also spiders are a lot smarter than people think . One of my slings (small tarantula/spider) is trying to escape . And not by like scratching the plastic , he learned how to open his lid. Only thing stopping him is the lid is very tight . If it’s not tight he can definitely escape .

8:07 This reminds me of something…Quoting from PBS’s “Nature Cat”: “Daisy: Ronald says if he sprays that spray it will get rid of all the bugs…Let's imagine a world without bugs...Do you like honey?…Well, forget it! Honey is made by bees, which are bugs! Nature Cat: Well, That's okay, I'll just have my dressing without honey. Daisy: No, you won't! Without bugs like bees, moths and butterflies to pollinate your plants' flowers, your vegetables can't grow! Nature Cat: Well I'll just find other stuff to eat in nature. Daisy: Oh no, you won't! In a world without bugs, the flowers can't be pollinated and won't produce berries. In fact, there would be lot less growing in the world. And bugs help clean up plant and animal waste and other smelly stuff! And lots of birds, reptiles and amphibians eat bugs. So without them, they'd go hungry. And bigger animals that eat them would go hungry too! So without bugs, life would be very, very hard and smelly! Nature Cat: NOOOOOOOOOO!”
That is neat that nature cat did an insects matter episode. I grew up on PBS and always have found the way they weave education and storytelling interesting.

Thank you for your good information. I heard that it is 80,000 years old. What is correct?
14k is what I saw most often, it is hard to date pando effectivly, however much older than 14k and the area would have been englaciated and thus inhospitable to plant life
Why protect it, if the deer are meant to eat it let them eat it. circle of life
the circle is broken though without predators to hunt the deer
@@Ecotasia They are called deer hunters
Really good work with this one JJ, cool to see you working with such an impressive spider and facing your fear head on. That’s not easy to do, so well done. You’re in good hands with Spencer and Zach when it comes to spiders. Great stuff!
Yeah it was an intense experiance.
I've learned of the golden toad extinction on a nature journal twenty or so years ago, thank you for making a video about it, it really made the matter of its disapperance more clear, wonderful video and editing, peace.

Underrated video
They are extremely aggressive and brutal. They will attack and sting without any warning. Even if you stand completely still. They came for me right to the tip of the nose. Was stung by 2 bees in different areas on the same day, both came straight to the nose tip and stung. They ARE aggressive. There was NOTHING for them to defend. They came after me
fantastic. ty.

Army ants are harmless. The much quoted "eat anything in their path" is mostly incorrect, as most army ant species have specific prey, such as termites, wasps or other ants species. Some driver ants only predate earthworms. If they were as dangerous as some make out, then they wouldn't have symbiotic relationships with so many other species - they'd be too dangerous.
Very cool video. I once heard of a pitcher plant species that grows exclusively in a handful of swamps in a single patch of forest in the American South
As usual this video was fascinating, I knew almost nothing about the carnivorous plants of Borneo until you told me about them, and I learned a ton from this one. Also lowkey forgot that we had that footage, thanks for the shoutout! Always a pleasure to see an upload from you.
glad you liked it, and again think you so much for the plant footage!

I like that they aren't accurate it makes it feel different from other dinosaur movies and well it was made in the early 1990s so I wasn't gonna be accurate and well it would make since if all the sudden they went from what they had in 1998 to a modern day dinosaur

I was actively in psychosis by a river trying to just find some peace. One of these crawled toward me. And it kept following me. It made me feel sick and wrong and like I had parasites in my body. The most awful living creature to ever grace my vision. I’d rather see a massive spider. Disgusting little stinker. And the best part is that I leave my shop doors open with lights on and the adult flying ones LOVE the light I put out. They’ve hit me in the face.
