    Argh! It's a mayfly and not a caddisfly. Guess I was moving to fast on this one. The creek is full of caddisfly larvae and I assumed incorrectly that the adult was one too. Thanks for the catch. Glad you like the episode otherwise. - JoshC

      Moving "too" fast. Two O's. By the way, the title of the video is weird. It could have been "This is Why Water Striders Can Walk on Water."

      @HowSci, I think there's a line between correcting someone's Biology mistakes and grammar mistakes on a science video but oh man, opinions on how a science channel names their videos, my guy? Joshy boy did some good foreshadowing work to reel the kids in for some fun facts. Looks like the point.
      Speaking of points, theirs touches on more than just their ability to walk on water. HOH, It's almost like the video used similes AND foreshadowing? Man, even most English majors would have at least appreciated that, but I guess you didn't.
      Find me a fact only title other than Coyote Peterson's "I got bit" or "I got stung" videos that get 10 million views. This generation just wants science to be fun like it should be. ANYWAY.

      Some roaches and caterpillars, most "singing" insects like cicadas and katydids, and a couple of others can "scream" or stridulate, the shock of the sound spooks most skittish predators (mainly birds and rodents). Water striders are pretty skittish, so I would assume a well placed screech would scare them off before they could bite too deep, then the insect could focus on reaching land.

There were water-striders, crayfish, occasionally frogs/tadpoles and other water 'bugs' living there. I watched the striders glide across the surface and just accepted it as something to see while growing up. Now, I get the facts about how the amazing critters 'worked'! Fantastic!

      Mayflys have 2 long tails at the end of them. It's a Caddisfly.

    • @rad1009
      @rad1009 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      This individual has lost its cerci, but you can tell it is a mayfly based on the wing venation. Mayflies have more "primitive" wings like dragonflies, which are clear with lots of veins. Caddisflies are more closely related to moths, having reduced wing venation and wings covered in hairs.

      argh, yeah you're right... It is a mayfly and not a caddisfly. Guess I was moving too fast on that one. The creek is full of caddisfly larvae and I assumed incorrectly that the adult was one too. Thanks for the catch. Glad you like the episode otherwise. - JoshC

      @chitinskin9860 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The insect era happened before the dinosaurs. Not saying that it won't happen again, especially considering the higher carbon content in the environment from pollution.
      All they need is for the plants to make a comeback from deforestation, processing the massive amounts of carbon dioxide we produced into oxygen, both helping the larger insects breath and making them grow, and they will own the world again.

    • @chitinskin9860

      They actually flip over to go underwater, escaping predators on the surface like birds and large damselflies.

      Good question!
      My guess would be that the tiny hairs on their body are also good at catching moisture from the air, particularly at night, and I guess they use that moisture to drink water. IDK though, it's just a guess.
