Have you run into any of these insects?
I’ve had dengue fever in my early twenties and now disabled from Lyme disease and coinfections. I have had several doctors marvel that I am still alive. I definitely think ticks are far far more dangerous than murder hornets or Africanized bees!!!
I live in South Africa and so have been exposed to a ton of mosquitos in fact as I am writing this comment I have 3 mozzie bites.
I live in belize and I've been stung by one murder hornet and three killer bee's. And the mosquitoes like every two days
Fire ants definitely. Mosquitoes,of course. I thought females were smaller. What kind of bug is what southerners call mosquito hawks? They look like a big mosquito.
I live in Denmark. So, only mosquitos that I know of.
"Yures" 😂
I always forget he's from South Africa until I hear his pronunciation of some words. It's charming!!
That cracked me up too 🤣
@@sreace723 He is not from South Africa
Lmao
Yeah tf
A map of where these creatures are located would have made this video just that much better. Great video, thanks.
I agree I was looking up every single one to see if they live near me so I’m not so scared💀
@@FeralFennecFox the most common and most dangerous insect lives all over the world, so you can be scared xd
to be fair they can migrate or be shipped across the world with produce. ex: the murder hornet while primarily located in east asian countries and as mentioned in the video to be located in the northwest have been found in many differing locations like the east coast, canada, and mexico. there is less of a chance running into them in these different locations but its not impossible so its good to have the knowledge no matter where you are.
I've had a blister beetles crawl across my thighs in southern AZ and I still remember the pain over 20 years later
I live in AZ and I wish you wouldnt have told me that.
Fun story. When a teenager me and my step brother found an absolutely unbelievably large fire ant mound. It was summer so what did we do? You bet your ass we shoved firecrackers in there and ran off waiting for the detonation. We did not run far enough and very pissed off ants rained down on us.
I wouldn't be proud of that. Sounds like you were one stupid kid
Sounds like you guys had a great time 😂
Hell yeah man... Give um hell 🎉 I'm 47 and that sounds like a damn good time 😅🎉
Red ants are like the angriest and most wicked face head for a insect,put one under a microscope........you'll never look at ant again like you used to..........
I watched a documentary about fire ants on TH-cam and it creeped me out...tha resilience of them little bastards is incredible. After watching that I was felling itchy😂🔥⚡🥳
3:41 “YERS THATS RIGHT YERS!” 😂
Don't make front of him
😂😂
Is that supposed to be funny? people do say some pointless things in these comments.
Knew there would be serveral of these comments 😂😂
YURS of famine
Forest, can you do a top 10 about which cryptids you most likely think exist? Great stuff Forest!
Thatd be cool!
I doubt he believes 10 of them exist lol
I think he’s done this video already, or something very similar, have a look.
But fyi, Forrest isn’t big on cryptids unless they’re the ones that were real and went extinct like the Giant Ground Sloth or the Thylacine
For a man fast approaching octogenarian age and having spent most of my life, indeed, my career outdoors working with large animals in various environments in the USA. I have encountered several of these critters, and I want to thank you for all of your effort in posting this. I learned a great deal.
If an invertebrate is “AFRICANIZED” doesn’t this imply that it came from Canada? Or was brought in by a musical culture trying to become popular and “do-gooders?” Great documentary…
The whole story behind your bites/stings and the treatment you received. Great video
More content like this would be awesome! Love your content man, been watching for a while now. You’re living the dream!
Nope someday he does the red panda/giant panda. Like if that’s the name what is an original panda? Bit like gorilla gorilla
Edit: hope not nope
This should have so much more views! I love that your growing and spreading your influence and knowledge forrest! Love from Canada! Alberta! ♥️
Fire Ants are no joke. I've been attacked several times in South Texas by them. Accidently step on a nest and you'll know it quickly. Each bite is like a red hot needle being dug and left into your skin. In my worst encounter, the skin on my leg was so inflamed it became rock-hard for 24 hours. The worst part is the itching though.... my god the itching after the attack. You'd run a cheese grater across your skin without thinking twice.
Been there,done that, found another fricking allergy....
Fire ants are an easy fix, in south Texas if you don't watch for them you're a moron...They're literally everywhere here, in every yard...
I’m allergic to fire ants, super fun.
Being a scientist the show doesn't need my input keep it up young man much love
Great work! Love what you do. Thank you for all you do!
Great content, Forrest. This is the way. High production youtube is the future for animal documentaries and educational media.
Keep it up, it’ll grow the channel and help y’all make enough money to do some really cool expeditions.
Piggy backing off of this. It’s nice to see videos like this. It’s what the discovery channel used to be back when they cared about wildlife.
"great content" ... is that the new term for BS? he can´t even be asked to show the species he´s talking about.
@@gshaindrich start your own channel then
@@gshaindrichdid we watch the same video? He literally shows the bugs bro what are you saying
In some videos they allegedly show the wrong species, but I for one prefer he spends his money on amazing adventures rather than a better editor. @grant9814
This guy being from Zimbabwe was one of the biggest plot twists I've been hit with in a while.
There lives a lot of white people in South africa and Zimbabwe and botswana
@@kennethmortensen8159 Yeah I know, I just only see them very sparingly, so whenever I do it usually comes as a surprise.
A few times I'm thinking "I can't place where I'm America his accent is from"
Then he said centimeters instead of inches"
Guessing he moved a long time ago
Why? Elon Musk is from Nigeria or something like that
@@LazyLizzy706 Yeah Elon Musk is from South Africa, and it’s just not generally something I think when I see a white guy, even though I am fully aware that many African nations such as Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, etc have substantial Caucasian populations.
fascinating stuff my man.I loved watching this 👍
Love the podcast and your channel helps me learn a lot!
What an amazing video! Thanks Forest!
I would love to see a video of a list of the most painful stinging insects in the world??
Hopefully you can make one about that in the future. 🤔 Great video! I like watching the videos you upload to your TH-cam channel.
Its out there on youtube with things like the sting index there's also Coyote Peterson traveling around getting stung
According to Coyote Peterson
1: Executioner Wasp
2: Asian Hornet
3: Bullet Ant
4: Tarantula Hawk
5: Warrior Wasp
I too dislike the "like and subscribe".. but I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed! Thanks for the video!!
Damn I thought I was already as well!
Ha ha nice one !!! ❤ Good job brother I was watching your channel and I realized I was in school with you 👏
Thank you for the informative video.
Very informative
Useful knowledge
😄
I got stung by like 100 fire ants when I was a kid. I was playing hide and seek with some friends outside in the dark. I decided to lay down at the base of a tree. My arm felt like it was on fire so I got up and ran to look at it in the light.
I was covered in fire ants, I have a below average pain tolerance, but the sting wasn’t that bad. Getting stung by one bee or wasp is worse than getting stung by 100 fire ants pain wise.
Edit: also I’d like to hear more about Forrest getting D.I.C in South America
I know it was about 100 because I counted all the welts on both my arms the next day and kept losing count, both arms completely covered in welts.
Story time.... I was working on a farm, drinking a martinelli apple juice, and went to take a drink, next thing i know i felt something in my drink. I thought it was a leaf, but turns out it was an Asiatic hornet, all black with an orange butt, it stung me in the back of the throat... Problem was I was alone and an hr from the nearest hospital... Luckily I made it, thank the creator...
😅
Easily in my top ten favorite youtubers Love you Forrest.
Forrest you’re one of the best guests ever on the Joe Rogan podcast which is where I first learned of you. Had this video come across my feed and quickly subscribed. Best to you in all your endeavors good sir.
"That's right, yurs." ❤
Like the bike in the window!!//Lars
Excellent video educational and enjoyable spider's are my thing but I have learnt a lot thanks for that keep it up mate love your content
Forrest is def an OG!! Been throught 100 lifetimes of stuff we can barely imagine.
Wow not just entertainment but educational to, very good and interesting mr 😀🙂😎 let's gooo, don't forget sir keep calm stay safe and always be cool ✌ 👍💪
Love it when you have a new video
Thanks for always entertaining me
And making me smarter.❤
Well done vid man, great for a Saturday morning knowledge session!
👍
love your channel dude!
Who is itching just watching this?
nothing like the good old creepy crawls
When you getting you’re an show on Netflix or somewhere….dudes like a cross between Steve Irwin and David Attenborough, super knowledgeable and not scared to grab a deadly snake or two with his bare hands!
Pretty sure he was on animal planet. He also did an episode on naked and afraid, dude is awesome.
Always love your videos.🎉
You can really tell when Forest is reading a script vs passionately talking about something
I was waiting for a video like that for "Yures"!!
I'm glad you have your own channel, Forrest 😃😃😃
Wonderful video very insightful
north american honeybee: sweet little bolt action bee.
african killer bee: fully automatic assault bees
I just love comments like this.
Honey bees kill 100x more people a year than killer bees.....
Funny name too
Asian hornet: armored bee destroyer
I remember as child back in the 50's , we had a Tulip Tree, ( Fairfield Iowa / S.E. Iowa ) the base of the tree, there was nesting of Asian Giant Hornets, we referred to them as Cicada Killers. Now I know why here in Oklahoma , when we feed we break up the hay and look and see if we have any extra surprises in the hay we feed to the dairy cows. Griggsvill IL Over the years, Griggsville built more than 5,000 birdhouses, which led to the town's nickname, "The Purple Martin Capital of the Nation." The Purple Martin Highrise of Griggsville, Illinois.. Griggsvill is located in W.Central IL. right on the Mississippi River. On Our farm we put up Purple Martin houses , we are on the shores of Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma, we also put up bat roost boxes, as they eat misquitos.
Great channel and insect info. - Zimbabwe a place i want to see 🌎👍
Excellent show!!! Which country has the most deadliest insects in the world?
Australia. I googled it for you. Googling is hard. You're welcome.
This is a great video. Are you also on brave wilderness?
I did not know you are Rhodesian.
I was in the military and in the early 90s, I was stationed in Florida. Now I'm from Connecticut and you can go for a hike in the woods, Have a picnic, sit in the grass. Well, no one said anything and I had to learn the hard way of all the bugs and snakes that lived in Florida. I mean, if you just sit in the grass before you know it you're covered with ants, it's crazy. We were playing volleyball one day, and my friend went to dive for the ball, and he went out of bounds and landed head first in a red ant hill. He lived down South, so he knew he had to take immediate action. He just jumped in the pool and started scrubbing them off. Despite his quick actions, he still got bit up pretty good.
Cool video forrest, would love top ten biggest animal of every class.
great video, i do like the vlog style videos, but i think these informative entertainment videos are just amazing and interesting
Great video. Scary some of these insect can travel on cargo vessel and be in other countries around the world. Cause havoc and mayhem.
I'm new to your channel and I like it a lot already
Neat video and can you do a video on most adaptable animals please?
im a huge fan of your work appreciate your vids
LOL I love your style. You talk like a regular Joe, not some stuck up bug genius. I'm going to have to check out a few more of your videos ! 👍🤣
Love your video's. I was wondering if you heard anything about the Zanzibar leopard. A video idea for you: most dangerous mammals in North America. I don't think alot of people would expect the moose on this list
I like that idea!
Deer too, they kill about 200 people a year. That's more than black bears and cougars have killed in recorded history in North America
These guys: worried about death from one sting
Coyote Peterson: hold my beer.
would love to see a series on the countless shark species that are NOT dangerous to humans and what role they play in their respective ecosystems
I got not just a bigfoot club, but the paint stick from a few seasons after we found the club.
you could do a top ten of anything and I will watch it!
you rule! keep kicking butt!💟
3:37
I wondwr if it can really last for “yee-urrs”…?!?!
😂😊🤪🙃
The Killer bees were bread because they found that the African versions were more hearty, and produced more honey.
The idea was to breed the aggression out of the African bee, by using the local bees.
Did the opposite. Just the aggression and heartiness transferred.
So you basically got African bees that produced less honey. (Facepalm).
Being Canadian, I didn't encounter most of these things until I went to Portugal. Lots of invasive Asian giant hornets there; I walked into a bush with tens of them once by mistake. They didn't sting me though; were actually super chill. I got bitten by a brown recluse spider in a pile of wood too, but the bite wasn't bad enough to cause a serious reaction; just bled a little and left a scar that was visible for about a year.
16:08 this is my favorite part of the video
a vacutainer, no label no date no barcode, yet they took the time to print the word “PLAGUE” on it 😂
"Insects are..."
Immediately shows spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Ive never heard you with an accent until you said "yuurs" instead of "years" for the locust swarms lol😂. Absolutely love you and all of your content. Some of my favourite content to deep dive that doesnt make me feel like my brain is melting and im just Absolutely wasting my time. Thank you for all the awesome knowledge!!
Right. He did mention he is Zimbabwean, so I'm not too surprised he says some words their way
@@everettduncan7543 Yep he grew up there until he was 14 and Mugabes thugs took over his families land. Sad story.
8:23 Giant japanese hornets arent‘t that aggressive. If you don‘t disturb their nest, you will totally be fine. There are many wasps who are way more aggressive than this one.
But yeah, if they kill enough bees, the whole world will have a HUGE problem. So it‘s indirectly dangerous
It’s actually crazy, you’re exact fire ant scenario happened to me as a a toddler when my family lived in São Paulo. I was covered head to toe!
I would like to see a top ten list of bacterial controls for insects.
I thought of that cause i was surprised about mosquitoes being the deadliest, although i shouldn't have been, and it made me think about how i use those "dunks" made with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) in places where water stands around my property.
Also, i was surprised that ticks didn't make this list!
Fire ants are terrible here in south eastern NC. I'm a farmer and we have to treat our fields every year with pesticides just to try to keep them under control
Hahaha omg I love this guy's sense of humour ae and of course the knowledge base also 💯👌🏼
I’d love a video about your top 10 favorite animals.
The exact red ant situation happened to me with my youngest son. He ended up fine but ended up allergic to stings later.
When I was 12. I moved from California to Georgia
I was playing basketball outside. Started off wearing a hat. Took it off and tossed it off to the side of the court. Got done, grabbed my hat, put it on....and dumped fire ants over me. Yaaaayyyy. Lol
Why we need people like Merlin Tuttle to bring awareness to why bats are so important! They eat mosquitoes!!!
As someone who's been swarmed by fire ants a few times when i was young i absolutely hate those things. I use to try to drown them with the hose when i could
When I lived in southern Alabama, I developed an immunity to fire ant venom.
On one occasion, while I was 8 months pregnant with my son, I stepped into a nest one night & was bitten several times. When my son was about a year old, he wandered into a fire ant mound, and was bitten so badly he looked like he had the measles. He never itched or had any ill effects from it.
It’s been years since we were both bitten, so I imagine the immunity has worn off.
I live in a mosquito infested place in northern Norway and have gotten bit probably thousands of times, but never actually gotten any dangerous illness from it.
I have never been happier to live in a cold country. Sure, the weather might be garbage and our native food is bland, but I'm not getting attacked by hyper aggressive bees or being shat on.
Fire ants and European wasps that is the definition of pain
I've been bitten & stung by many different insects in my lifetime & I'm surprised you didn't mention carpenter ants & harvester ants!!! They also pack a mean bite as do horseflies,black flies,deer flies,stable flies & sand flies!!! They all draw blood!!!
your channel is underrated
Would love to see you and the wild times crew do something like kings of pain. Doesnt have to be anything crazy like a bullet ant
Did you know that the mosquitoes in the Newyork subway are separate species for each subway station there is! Some are only a few km apart and are totally different species !
I’ve been assaulted brutally by fire ants more times than I can count growing up in southern Georgia.
I love you have your own youtube channel now
Africanized bees sound like a great security system. My pool is filled with babies rn is crazy, huge black spots around the pool
Fun fact! This Canadian will not be travelling anywhere warm anytime soon! Not because it’s early season but I enjoy living in a place where every insect and plant don’t want to kill you
While there's nothing wrong with the facts it bugs me (pun intended) that there is some footage of European hornets when you're talking about the Asian Giant Hornets. Same goes for the fire ants, some of the clips are of a completely different species. Something to consider for future videos, but otherwise great stuff!
My little brother was hospitalized from fire ant bites when he was a toddler. We had just moved to Texas from the midwest, c. ‘02, and my poor mother had no idea what was happening. I was like 10 and it was absolutely terrifying to watch.
Ick. Thanks Forrest 👍
I didn’t know locust swarms lasted yurrs. Long time
Bullet Beetles have the most painful sting of any insect. But they live on tree tops. Just as well.
Doesn't waste your time describing mosquitos while accurately describing mosquitos 😂
I touched a hairy caterpillar as a kid and my arm and neck swole up like Michelin man
I nearly touched one a year ago, and found out not long ago that would have been a very painful mistake
I had one that was about 3" long climb up my leg while I was playing videogames last year and I didn't feel a thing (I felt it touching me, but I figured it was just a small moth, as there was one flying around my living room just a couple of minutes earlier). I just swiped it with my hand, as I was focused on my game when it happened. Then I looked down a couple of seconds later and it was there on the ground, trying to get its bearings back.
The same species as the one who gave my mother a nasty burn and made her rush to the hospital after the pain became unbearable just the year prior.
I remember finding Lonomia obliqua caterpillars several times in our yard as a kid. I was never stupid enough to try and touch one, though, thankfully.
Damn, that sucks dude.
Cool video
I was bitten by a spider on my elbow. I got a staph infection. The hospital did that purple line around it, and I went back at 12:30 every day for antibiotics.
Yeah, I got MRSA, and couldn’t walk anymore. I was 17 and waiting to go to UVIC. Everything turned orange. I don’t know the antibiotic they use for methicillin resistant staphylococcus. But it was all orange. Everything.
