As a caterpillar the tiger butterfly consumes poisonous leaves in order to develop its own signature toxin. What did you find most fascinating about this video?
I thought it was interesting that the spider knows it toxic and threw it away
What I like about this video is that the spider let go of the tiger butterfly, because he knows that the butterfly is toxic and poisonous.
🕷️🕸️🦋
The most intriguing part is the way of this butterfly become toxic.
The way you guys can capture all the details👏
It makes me wonder what preys on the tiger butterfly. Surely, it must have at least one predator.
tree: *develops poison*
caterpillar: Our poison
insert UDSSR hymn next time
read that OUR in gollum voice
Lmfao
Communists caterpillar

Caterpillar: quietly munching

Oh nvm i saw what it is 😅

Never thought I'd see a time where a spider goes "NOPE over a caught prey.
"Nope, nope, nope. Off you go. I ain't having that in my web"
Well that spider knew they sure as heck couldn’t eat that butterfly, so why keep it when it’ll scare away real prey?
LMAO
Nop, not todays lol
The spider was like "nah bruh you gotta bounce"
😄 like “get the freak off my web”
Lmfaooi facts get off my web 😭
Log off my website you bug!
Tree: "Produces fatal poisons to deter caterpillar"
Caterpillar: "Becomes immune anyways"
Tree: " _what_ "
it's like
poisonous fishes live in the sea
humans be like
dELicAtE
Tree: Wait that's illegal
XD
I disliked. It wont show dislikes so ill say it so people can know
@@fVcker1 ok there pal
@@fVcker1 _But why, why would you dislike my comment?_
"She's caught a tiger butterfly.
And he is utterly toxic."
Sounds like the beginning of every wattpad story ever
lmfao so true ngl
So dangerous, a spider naturally just knows that its a dangerous meal and snips its own web to get it as far away from itself. Peculiar and just plain cool.
More like get it away so he can at least catch prey that it can eat.
Tree: *develops a deadly poison*
Caterpillar: “Oh no! Anyway...”
All the same copied comments.. get a life loser
@@ramtrucks721 Uh oh, it’s the comment police. Maybe you should get a life, instead of complaining about stolen comments
@@ramtrucks721 lmfao, what he said. Get a life instead of whining about “sToLen” comments. If you’re gonna whine about those, you might as well whine about almost every meme in existence. It’s not like the original commenter applied copyright on his comment.
Uh, I’m here because I heard that eating caterpillars can give off strange aftermaths
Butterfly flies into net.
Butterfly: "Hey Bob."
Spider: "Hey Billy."
Butterfly: "That hurt."
More people should understand this meme 😂
This made my day
LOL
HAHHAHAHA😂😂😂😂
Laugh out loud!
“You better hope I don’t tell my friends about this.”
“P-please Mr. Butterfly I won’t let it happen again.”
He's poisonous not venomous. Meaning he is not able to inflict damage on anyone except if that someone eats him.
I like your joke, I just feel like it is based on a missunderstanding.
@@cauchyschwarz3295 so what do you think the spider was about to do? Technical or not, just take a joke for what it is. It’s not that serious.
@@SushiBurritoPapi well you don't need to be afraid of someone who cannot do anything unless you decide to eat them.
So why would the spider care if it happened again?
Yeah its a joke but jokes also be based in facts normally.
@@cauchyschwarz3295 you talk funny
Butterfly: _proceeds to bring all friends and dive bomb the web_ haha now you’ll never get us out of your web!
Spider: oh well _leaves web_
Butterflies: WAIT YOU CANT LEAVE US LIKE THIS
I think that was the first time I've ever seen a spider free something from their web. That is really cool! Also, the butterfly is gorgeous. I do want to know if the tiger butterfly is poisonous only to bugs, or if it's poisonous to humans too though, it didn't say that it was, which makes me wonder.
I was thinking the same thing, that's amazing that the butterfly was totally helpless but the monster let it go. It's like an insect version of a Grimm's fairy tale.
I mean it does say no predator can safely eat him so probably not safe
If they cant eat it they let it go as it would hinder them from catching other prey.
Same 😂💕
Most predators in nature try to avoid unnecessary harm by any means necessary. Keeping the butterfly trapped is a drain on resources better used for catching actual prey. So it’s best for it and the butterfly to be let go.
bugs are more intelligent than what we humans give them credit for. it's amazing how the spider knew the difference between a tiger butterfly and a monarch butterfly. or how the caterpillar knew how to trick the tree into not poisoning him.
Spiders are so smart. There is an overgrown path that I pass through very often and the spiders there put out trip-rope type threads so that when I pass through and break them, they’ll know to build their web somewhere I won’t break it.
@Slush I actually thought this was a misidentified Monarch but then I saw thicker black patterns at the tips of the forewings when the spider cut it loose and the ecosystem was different so I knew it was a relative of the Monarch. The caterpillar looks similar to the Monarch too in the final instar. I don't know that Monarch caterpillars do that barrier and excavating trick but I have reared them from eggs and when they are very small, they do eat patches of leaves and don't chew all the way through and don't eat from the edges until they are larger. I knew quite a lot about them already and I still learned new things from this video :) (also, in case anyone is wondering how the narrator knew the caterpillar/butterfly was male, the bulbous black spot on the vein of each of the hind wings indicates this. A female would not have that spot)
@@MachetesAreFun There are 2 species of tiger butterflies shown here, Danaus genutia and Danaus chrysippus, Asian relatives of Monarch (Danaus plexippus) btw
Tiger Butterfly: Hey, Charolette how ya doing?
Spider: Fred, not again!!!
lol
Spider: "I told you Fred, you can't just come around here uninvited."
Butterfly:get off me you are ugly now
Spider: *stars to cries*i want to help you to go not feed you right😢
Butterfly: sorry
Nice, a documentary about butterflys that isn't just talking about its "beauty" and instead its cool adaptations!
Butterfly: call an ambulance, call an ambulance... but not for me
That spider was like, "Orange and black?....but I'm Orange and black...nope" *snip*
A drop of poison a day goes a long way for this beautiful butterfly
The spider in the beginning "oh sorry mister butterfly, I believe there's some misunderstanding about this. Have a nice day".
That Indian music was so unexpected but fits so well lol
2:55
when you can eat without dying: *starts rappin*
Spider: God dammit, three tiger butterflies in a row
No wonder spongebob so scared with that butterfly 😂
soo trueee
0:25 "Her web is strong enough to hold small birds." 😳
Nature is so precious and fascinating. Sad to see people destroying it intentionally
I love butterflies and this was fascinating to learn, thanks 😊
We're so glad you enjoyed this video, Angela! 🦋
@@NatGeoWild holy moly you guys check the comments?
@@NatGeoWild yea with all awesome jokes that the comments has, haha!
Spider: Finally, dinner.
Butterfly: no
Spider: understandable have a nice day.
Spider: No one can escape my web.
Caterpillar: Hold my poison!
NatGeo: Spider vs Butterfly
Also Natgeo: Caterpillar vs Tree
Looks like a Monarch butterfly
From what I’ve read a handful of butterflies mimic the monarch, some, like the queen butterfly actually still are poisonous but since the appearance the monarchs coloration so well known among predators it’s similar color scheme means it won’t be bothered either.
was also thinking like that
Monarchs have black abdomens while the tigers body is colored orange, same colors different places
Only other mimic I seen was a viceroy butterfly
tiger butterflies (this one is named a common tiger) are in the same genus as monarchs
Toxic tiger butterfly: Your parents never loved you!
Spider: What?
Tiger butterfly: What?
So this explains why Monarch Butterflies eat milkweed leaves in small quantities when they first hatch. Like their cousins from the tropics, they build a diluted trench around the leaves until they’ve developed full immunity from the milkweed toxins. Fascinating.
Amazing how the new-born caterpillar knows how to handle the toxic leaves/food without its parents around imparting this knowledge or showing how it's done ! Something a human babies can't even do.
Butterfly: yo Spidey, I'm kinda stuck
Spider: (thinking he got a meal comes over)
Spider: OH NEVERMIND, SAY LESS SAY LESS, YOUR FREE TO GO.
The caterpillar was like maple getting poison resistant
Dude that's nuts. The spider just knows it's a bad trade.
Seeing that spider recognize the type of butterfly and cut it loose and the fact that it lived through that it's just the coolest thing I've seen all week. So fascinating! I've never seen anything like this.
It’s amazing how the caterpillar chants and plays ominous music as it eats. Ah, the wonders of nature.
I read the title of the video and STILL said "Omg a monarch butterfly!" OOF
It is a monarch butterfly, this must be an alternative name though.
Same genus, Danaus, but not the same species as the ones in the Americas.
*"And he is utterly toxic".*
So, she met her ex.
Mother nature is just awesome..... Her creativity is next to awesome level😊.... Loved this vdo🤗....

Butterfly: oh dearie me, sorry for flying into your web like that.
Orbweaver: that's okay just try to be careful next time alright? Normally this is where most of them stop living but for you it's just a small inconvience.
Butterfly: yeah 😊 btw thanks for not eating me!
Orbweaver: yeah don't mention it.
He cant eat him anyways
@@sinyus2058 It can. It would be its final meal, though.
@@Kojirremer that is not how eating works
@@sinyus2058 did you not listen to the video lol. The butterfly is toxic to many of its predators.
Incredible clip! Really great example of predator prey relationship and one of magnificent ways that prey defends itself.
I liked how the spider freed that butterfly recognizing the danger it posed to it, insects are amazingly intelligent. I'm impressed😀🙄
Spiders are arachnids, but yes
Tree: finally, I've developed poison! Now I have my own defenses.
Caterpillar: **bugs bunny template with translucent comunism flag** our defenses.
Butterfly to the spider: call ... call an ambulance ... but not for me
Spider: **caught something on its web**
Spider: **realizes it is a Tiger Butterfly**
Also Spider: Understandable, have a nice day ahead.
The caterpillar train like a main character in anime
Tree: *makes poison defense*
Caterpillar: “...It’s free real estate.”
Always see that butterfly in a positive light never knew it was poisonous
It’s amazing how adaptable catapilers are
better background music and perfect presentation of this butterfly
Spider: *catches butterfly*
"You know why I stopped you Sir?
You were continuesly speeding on this route.
Flyers licence please.
I will give you a warning this time.
You are free to go"
Never knew this...
Thanks for such info Nat geo wild.
first as a child I learnt snakes are poisonous, then a scorpion is poisonous...
Now I learn tiger butterflies are poisonous.
Snakes/Scorpions-Venomous. Frogs/Butterflies-Poisonous. Venomous-If it bites you, you die. Poisonous-If you bite it, you die.
Incredible narration, extraordinary pieces of footage!
Butterfly: Gets in the net. *Stares*
Spider: Sir... yes sir
Wow. That butterfly is like the most common butterfly i've seen in my life. And i didn't even know they're poisonous.
When the narrator talked about poison and the caterpillar getting full immunity to it makes me think about Bofuri 😶
Great images, great patience. Thanks for the info, I liked them
Amazing sounds effects
So this is a Hybrid between a Tiger and a Butterfly? How in the he--
very nice docu, but i wish these docus were longer
"Your Metapod has evolved into Butterfree!"
this is one of the best wildlife story i have ever seen
Oh that tranformation the catepillar has is really cool.
Pumba and Jamoan: It ain't no Hakuna Muhtata with this butterfly!
This Butterfly and the glass wing butterfly are pretty awesome.
Absolutely amazing!
you can feel the wrath of the spider having to help the butterfly escape
Unbelievable that a caterpillar has so much intelligence!
Fascinating
Thanks tiger butterfly! Thanks to you now I know that poison builds are viable.
Amazing.. fascinating..
It was the orchestra background music for me haha while it was eating
Nature is amazing
Such a strategy at an infant stage. Nature is the ultimate wonder 🙌
Its just amazing to see how the spider lets the butterfly go.
It's crazy how much these look like monarchs, even down to the males having those pheromone receptor spots on his hind wings? But even the larvae and chrysalides look like a monarch's! I would by no means call myself an expert but I'm a hobbyist entomologist and have handled bugs my whole life/ raise monarchs in the summer but I don't think I've ever even HEARD of these mimics- when you say "tiger butterfly" my mind jumps to tiger swallowtails. REALLY cool and makes me want to find a specimen to include in a framed monarch piece I recently did including a viceroy. I love how I can still learn about new bugs all the time!
Wow nature is incredible 🔥
Nevermind how beautiful nature is. Who is in the background laying these bars down? @ 3:00
That spider was like “understandable. Have a nice day.”
Incredible
Incredible design!
Fascinating.
Amazing videography
Amazing how they change so much to a butterfly
This made caterpie sound SO OP
A name fit for something so beautiful!
Nature it’s amazing
Narrator: Tiger butterfly
Me: Monarch Butterfly....still pretty though 💕
Awesome,
that's the sound a caterpillar makes when is feasting, like a DJ
Amazing
Spider was like nah fam you gotta go
Question how do you get the cameras this close unless it's some super good zoom
Best asmr ever
The beauty that scary.
Amazing!
