Back in 2017 the Brave Wilderness crew grabbed their popcorn, sat back, and watch the show. Now, it's time to return to the return to bug theatre!
What’s a bug theatre you might ask? A bug theatre is a common name for an insect “light trap”, where a screen is illuminated at night to attract all sorts of creepy crawlies and bizarre insect species. It is a common practice used by field entomologists around the world!

Ok
Remember Guys, *Be brave and stay wild*
Yessir
Ii thought this wasn't like 100% legit?
Thanks I’m from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I love the way Jim said "Coyoteee!" When the bug beetle hit the screen. The pure happiness of wanting his friend to see something he thought was so cool was awesome.
“These are one of the largest beetles on the planet!” When Jim said that you hear nothing but passion and excitement and it melts my heart
You know they just had one of their guys tap the back of the screen, right? I'm sure the guy loves his job, but that wasn't passion. Just goofy acting.
@@NG-VQ37VHRwhat makes you so sure?
@@NG-VQ37VHR i immediately thought someone just threw that thing at the canvas xD

i absolutely LOVE jims energy 😭😭😭😭 his pure excitement to the beetle had me excited for him.
Thank youuu!! There are more things coming soon =)
Jim's freakout when the bug first lands and they run behind curtain is SO raw and pure.
As a person who is terrified of bugs, this is actually quite fascinating
i for a 01 year old i love beetles i even sometimes catch dragon flies and set them free of course ilove buggs
@@bluecoaxe8987 only one year old huh? 😂
I'm going to pinch you withe an elephant beetle
Imao same except I don’t find anything cool about bugs 😂 they freak me out ;-;
@@D3VIOUS24 IMAO
The way the beetle just knocked all those other insects off was insane
The Beetle definitely knows how to make an entrance.

@@vielkaestelabeitiasantamar1589 hi
@@beetle__bug hello
Jim needs his own show on youtube! He's so enthousiastic and knowledgable that i'd watch his talk about literally anything
Yeah! His energy makes me happy!
Jim’s raw excitement seeing the beetle land on the sheet was so wholesome.
Jim has unbelievable knowledge and is very interesting to listen to. Thank you Coyote for allowing him to share his knowledge with us.
Jim is the best!!!
@@BraveWilderness Please make him show up more times to continue the identification game, if you have to, place a few more lights to attract him 🪲😜
Agree! You should feature him again sometime in the future!
@@BraveWilderness yea totally
Hope he's featured again sometime. Great episode
You can tell how much Jim loves his job just by his sheer childlike joy and excitement when that beetle landed. Inspiring work!!
10:23 gotta be one of my fav moments of the vid. their excitement is so cute 😭
Their smiles when just talking about insects and this Elephant beetle makes me smile also. This is what true passion for something looks like and I love it.
Man does Heracross know how to make an entrance. The entire Hercules/Rhino Beetle family are THE COOLEST bugs on the planet no question.
Someone has to make an edit where they put the Pokémon battle music when the beetle appears 😂
I was sure I would find a heracross reference in the comments section
Nah! Stag beetles are the Coolest bugs on the planet!
@@ayudrs cap! Wetas outcompete them all!
Costa Rica is such a beautiful country. We went on a night tour through the rain forest last year and it was incredible.
Costa Rica is getting ruined tho because it's mostly Americans that live there now. They be invading
That's awesome!!
For some reason i knew costa rica was a word before i even knew it was a country 😮 🤨
I went to Costa Rica for a high school trip for the upperclassmen.
We all had to raise money in order to go.
It was amazing.
I also met my now girlfriend there and we had so much fun.
Lots of hiking and we did a zipline too.
After we came home, we started officially dating.
Costa Rica will always have a place in my heart.
The only downside was it was super hot and humid😅
What would you do if this crawled into bed with you and it bit you in places that the sun dont shine?
Jim is amazing. So enthusiastic and his excitement when the beetle got there is contagious.
"Jim, what is the point of the horn on this animal?"
"Yeah, totally"
😂😂😂😂😂
So awesome to still see him get excited after 13 years of studying insects
Jim is the insect man in this part of Costa Rica.
Definitely loves what he does
That's he's passion
That beetle had perfect timing, he definitely understood the assignment lol
These are all so incredible. I wish bugs didn't give me the creeps, but with shows like this, I get to with out actually needing to be there.
Same I have a fear of bugs even the nice ones but I appreciate how they help human kind
Same. I cant get near to almost all those bugs but this video did make me managed to see their fascinating and cool side.
I loved how all of the sudden the blanket just rumbled and a lot of insects were knocked off of it hahahahahaha the giant appeared.
Cheers, love and hugs from Mexico, I love y'all 🖤🇲🇽
The fact Coyote got so excited about the beetle and was like “I don’t know what that means but that’s so exciting!” was adorable. I love the fact he was just as excited about Jim and supported him even though he had no idea what type of bug that was.
Even from just the shadow, I instantly recognized the inspiration for one of the greatest Bug Type Pokémon, the mighty Heracross. This was awesome
This insect video was scientifically fun. Best of all, you were not doing anything unnecessary dangerous . Good job, 👍
Jim being so giddy when he saw the elephant beetle warms my heart
Crazy how much it moved the canvas when it landed.😳
That’s one chonky beetle! So cool!
I know right! Imagine if that was your back while on a trek out there 💀💀💀💀
@@pedrotrejo8118 I'll die lmao
@@TheGodofLightning Same! 😂
it's like a flying rock
Thank you Coyote for coming back on TH-cam 😊I missed you and your team.
Iv watched every video for the past couple years, when did he leave?
@@yourlocalmilkman6118 over a year ago to work on Animal Planet.
You should hold the Hercules beetle
What show did he do on animal planet?
@@yourlocalmilkman6118 i was about to say the same thing. They post every other day.. shorts.. trying to get them sweet million views😂
Jim is awesome what a pure soul need more people like him
Jim is a very humble soul, great collab Coyote.
That is the cutest beetle I’ve ever seen, he’s so chubby! Gentle giant right there
We need more ppl like Jim! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
Truly!
Yeah totally
Jim is love, Jim is life
The way his ascent shapes the name Coyote bring me much joy.
Thanks! I loved to see the huge beetle I never seen a such huge beetle and such a beautiful creature from🇨🇦
Coyote and Brave Wilderness team If you do happen to see this comment I just wanted to all you to know I would love to see more videos on beetles. There's so many large ones and smaller but also just as interesting ones. I would love for you guys to talk more about these critters in future videos.
How about a serious about abnormally large insects, reptiles and amphibians? Covers like a certain genus in a species that is much larger than others. So like the Hercules beetle, the hellbender salamander, monitor lizards, Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterflies, the Hercules moth! Like seriously it would be cool to learn what lareg species there are that we've maybe never heard of like I wonder what the largest ant species is or the largest grasshopper species.
Shout out to Jim Cordoba Alfaro! Dude is super cool and knows his bugs!
These big guys are generally very chill, they are just insanely strong
9:41 the enthusiasm of how many species he’s got in his app quickly switching to enthusiasm of the beetle 😂😂
Just two guys with hats chillin' with bugs because nature is awesome. Jim's a classy fellow. His love of nature is contagious. I'm afraid of bugs but I think Jim makes it fun. We need Jim to return in the future please.
That beetle is worth 8,000 bells!
I absolutely love how Jim was so excited and happy to just be able to spread his knowledge and teach coyote and us , it just shows how many fascinating things in nature and how good people can be . It warms my heart and I think bugs are just really fascinating even though when I get close to a stinkbug I scream. 😂
The “yeah, totally! ” is so adorable 😭💗
That was the hugest beetle I’ve ever seen look at the size of that thing what an awesome episode
I love how it’s so big that when it landed it shook the whole thing and launched a ton of bugs off the sheet
More Jim, please! One of the best guests I've seen on this channel.
Jim is awesome what a pure soul need more people like him. Crazy how much it moved the canvas when it landed..
Considering it's a bug, the face is absolutely adorable ❤
YES! the gentle giant. Beetles are my favourite
This is the best Better help presentation that I have ever seen!
Captured the attention :)
I’m glad they brought back my favorite series
This was an amazing episode, love it when you bring in guest stars like Jim 😉
yes
We had rhinoceros beetles in North Carolina. They were not as common as swallow-tailed butterflies, but they were big and they were there. They could fly but usually when they hit some thing they couldn't hold onto, they went to the ground.
I appreciate you taking better help as a sponsor. Mental health is finally getting the attention it deserves
Wow, this was a fascinating video. Insane to see so many crazy insects packed into a small space. And please keep collaborating with this guy, he's awesome!
I love how butterflies just fly around in the background you can really see the abundance of insects there
Something I hate is when people say that you are over reacting when they don't know how painful the bites or stings are
Im really happy that a company actually supports bugs out there and i hope it continues to grow! 😁
this video really made me realize how much we need insects. great job on getting Jim to teach us that lesson
“What does it replicate?” “Yes”
Can we talk about the circular pattern the bugs made on the screen?? That looked dope af. Kinda like a magnet with metal shards lol
As an avid bug kid, that insect-attracting screen would have excited the heck out of me as a child. I wanted to be an entomologist growing up. 😅
I love insects so much!! I would LOVE to visit places all over the world and meet all sorts of different insects!
It is just wild (pun intended) that everywhere you go in Costa Rica, every square kilometer you will find at least 19 different and new species. That is just crazy.
When i was a child in the uk in the 80s i used to marvel at the variety of insects in the fields and forests .
It greatly saddens me to say the majority of the insects have now disappeared from my locale .
I suspect pesticides used in farming , the number of butterflies and bees is now a tiny fraction of what it once was .
I absolutely love how excite you both got when the elephant beetle hit the sheet 🥰 shows how much you both truly love what you do.
9:54 “one of the largest beetles of our planet!!!” He’s so cute and happy omg 😂😂and then he says it again
That beetle is absolutely beautiful😍
I haven't watched Brave Wilderness for quite a while thinking He wouldn't do any more of Letting Dangerous animals to pinch/bite him AND NOW He's still doing it!! lets all appreciate How Brave this man is!!
I thought u said ur getting pinched
Jim was like an excited child when he saw that beetle.
LOVE these kinds of rhinoceros beetles! Actually raising a Eastern Hercules beetle- not quite as large but still a really cool insect, so it is exciting to see some footage of another species. Ty coyote! :D
Proud of being Costa Rican and seeing the beauty of our land being shared with the world.
Pura vida!
Exacto!
I'm glad ur willing to share the beauty of your homeland, so many people get mad that tourists exists it kinda sucks, Costa Rica is so beautiful tho I wanna go so bad to see all the animals and beautiful landscape, I love catch and release fishing so maybe I could do that too, idk the place just seems so beautiful and full of wildlife something we in the west see a whole lot less of now, much love from the USA🇺🇸
Always loved this channel and the insight it provides into the larger aspect of the world and its species.
It’s so wholesome seeing these guys nerd out over a giant beetle.
This is amazing! Jim and the BioSur foundation are doing incredible things in the Osa Peninsula. Thanks for showcasing such an important non-profit!
Thanks for spreading the message of insect biodiversity! I encourage everyone to find a wildflower meadow near you mid summer and take a closer look at blooming flowers. You will be surprised at the sheer diversity of interesting insects.
1:41 OMG it’s real Mothra!!! That is the CUTEST thing I’ve seen today! 🥹
im iff off of mushrooms watching this. and im going to dedicate my life to saving the bugs bro. U have my word.
i missed these kind of episodes ! more of this :D
As a beetle lover that is one awesome bug.
I love insects because of the diverse colors and shapes and sizes and camouflages that they have!
If you love bugs, you'll definiteley turn into a kid if you've seen a beetle that huge. Like these guys 🤣
i wanna give that beetle a smooch
The real life heracross
**Oh man 3 different lights so complex and special**
We focus so hard on saving the rain forest not expanding polution. It's like having a studio with a small fire blanket and expanding to a mansion and only keeping that saved fire blanket as means of protecting against a fire. it might help, but you also gotta expand the solution for every square foot of polution
As a biologist in college right now thank you so much for talking about how it is so important to protect organisms other than the megafauna. but still love the megafauna!!!
As someone who is scared of bugs, I have to say this beetle is kinda cute to be honest.
That is so beautiful. They would be such neat pets, if only beetles like these big ones would live longer.
9:43 is where he finds the beetle
15:54 is where he puts it on his face
Hey there Coyote.
Im really impressed about the way you are trying to inform us about the wild.
If it was the sting/bite zone or the Informations now, i really appreciate it.
Keep it up and stay wild❤
Jim and the team at biosur are incredible! Their passion for preserving the rainforest and all its biodiversity is awesome and contagious! If you’re considering donating to a good cause, there are none better than biosur! Donate, Donate, Donate!!
I love seeing people passionate about their field of study. Its very endearing and wholesome
Man this is what good content is all about. This is what I look for when on youtube
Why this guy only have 20m? he deserves 50m
That beetle is so friggin adorable!
As a person who is terrified of anything with spiky hairy legs, I’ll watch from a distance
My grandpa was an entomologist. This is cool and I enjoy photographing insects. Lovely segment Coyote!
Love seeing my friends in these videos. This is the second one this month!
Well done, Jim!
Good to see you back Coyote! Thanks for all the fascinating content you guys provide for us.
I've never seen people get so excited over an elephant beetle. I live in Belize and we get them crawling around all the time. Friendly little creatures.
I wonder how they taste.
I would. I grew up buried in insect books, and I would love to see this one in person eventually.
