- When you poop sugar, clone yourself and give birth to pregnant babies, you know your survival skills are off the hook...and that you must be an aphid.

16 days and pregnant.
Abahahaha
+SnifyWisper Fetus and pregnant.
+SnifyWisper LMAO
+SnifyWisper Mother nature can be so gross sometimes. XD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So basically these guys make rabbits look like nuns
🤣😂😁😎
Imagine if evolution somehow allowed rabbits to reproduce like aphids.
Humans: whew we finally finished this 5-metre tall border around rabbit infested territory. Now we wait for them to die of starvation
Baby rabbits: *suddenly grow wings and start flying
Humans: oh sH-
Naw, it’s mostly virgin births. Aphids are MOSTLY nuns.
@@TheMewtata Mary is at it again
The more I learn about weird animals and plants, the more I'm scared of what alien life might like.
I feel like Hank has said
"They suck. Literally."
Far more often than is explainable by chance..
"if you taste like a jellybean, you're gonna attract some attention from things that wanna eat you..." LMAO, I love hank!
Yassss. No wonder ladybugs eat them. Also, buying a container of ladybugs, wetting down plants in yard, letting them loose at dusk- FUN.
We used to order boxes and boxes of ladybugs when I worked on a rose farm. Lady bugs just tear aphids to pieces its brutal
Lady birds are amazing :)
+Alexandra “Boolybong” Wilson-Newman I agree, lady birds have wonderful colored feathers.
+OMGshinyobject Thats a pretty good organic way to control aphids!
Remy Xu that’s not what a lady bird is, it’s a bug not. A bird
@@alexandrawilson-newman6956 You meant ladybugs, right? I mean, birds are fascinating, too, but they're not exactly what everyone else was talking about...
Aphids sound like evolution on steroids
That's not what evolution is dude....
Or aliens
+ForeverOfTheStars That's what you would expect being able to produce so many generations so quickly, this is part of the reason why viruses can adapt so fast, the more the dna replicates the more chance for beneficial mutations to occur.
Agreed!! I have never heard a more adaptable species! What an amazingly efficient bug!
megazion34 I bet you felt so smart typing that out
"But moooom, all the cool kids poop sugar and clone themselves and...Give birth to pregnant babies?"
Imagine these things asking their parents "How are babies made?" I bet not even them know how the hell it works.
Aphids, just like humans, are amazing creatures that adapt very well.
That being said, both are equally unconcerned about killing their host.
My wife just watched an aphid give birth on the sleeve of her shirt, and so it reminded me of this episode, so I came back to refresh my memory of what the hell was going on.
So they are the Zerg basically.
+Skippa1986 FOR THE SWARM!
FOR THE SWARM
So they're like real-life tribbles... just not as cuddly.
ikr? at least tribbles purr for you!
I don't get it
@@catoctober8005 star trek reference, tribbles are born pregnant.
Quite literally. I am 2Gb over my data limit because of SciShow. Ladies and gentlemen, I love the knowledge you're passing. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic Video. I am wondering if you could make a video about the Platypus and how it could have evolved.
Dude they don't have stomachs
MrOplef Ok?
+Le Leedler its still in the process of evolving in to mamals
+hauhito _ wtf no
+hauhito _ You act as if evolution is linear and the end goal is mammal. You couldn't possibly be able to tell what a species as complex as a platypus is going to evolve into over the next few million years.
Aphids sound like the zerg
Yes. Aphid attack, new game.
Yeah
That's why ladybugs are awesome. They kill these annoying b-holes. You really care about your garden? Find a way to increase the ladybug population within it.
Unless you live in Ontario Canada in which case lady bugs are literally the devil
What do they do?
I used to have pet ladybugs. I would feed them aphids. Clearly my parents approved.
the circle of life. im getting it right? right?
babies havin' babies sounds like the name of a corny lovesong from the 80's
+Max Fux Sounds more like a bad slogan idea for an abstinence poster.
He should have talked about the relationship between black wasps and aphids. Just look it up, it's really... interesting.
Wow that's amazing
+Zoe Alyse Z Boy am I glad for black wasps then, keep up the good work boys!
+Zoe Alyse Z that shit's weird.
Has Evolution gone too far?
The answer is... YES, IT DID!!
+Combinemon
Oh, please. You haven't seen nothing yet.
imagine how terrifying giant Aphids would be
You mean delicious?
Here are 2 questions for you, SciShow: 1. Why does a glary light source make an asterisk like appearance? Is that only our visual image? 2. What's the definition of mites? -from the barely visible little red dot size bugs that zoom along walls to the microscopic non-pooping face invaders -What do they have in common, and how are they classified? (Clearly, not all bugs are insects and arachnids, and on that point, What's the deal with centipedes and millipedes?)
So you really could punch one so hard their grandchildren would be born bruised.
Quick question: How do aphids "choose" which of the three offspring to birth? Live, live w/ wings, or eggs of sexually (instead of asexually) reproducing males and females that hatch in the next season? Do they just turn certain genes on and off, as in - do they have a CRISPR-9 engine in their ovaries? I'm extremely curious
+Cody Manshack epigenetics.
+Cody Manshack I don't know the answer to that one, but I know that aphid s aren't mated in spring, but are in autumn. That is most likely due to the combination of temperature and barometric pressure in those seasons. Could be a clue :)
RainAngel111 Care to expound further?
***** hell no, I'm no expert, it's just the most likely explanation, I guess? Just google epigenetics and you should see what I'm talking about.
RainAngel111 Lmao! Ok thanks
I lost a mint plant to aphids last year. Poor Vincent :(
I wish they'd kill mine. It's taking over my garden. It burrows under the soil and pops up everywhere.
R.I.P Vincent
+Sam Spain #RememberVincent
+HoldOnToYourHats yeah mints are incredibly invasive, I pull the roots up and put them in a pot then fill it with soil and they grow fine.
I want a colony of hulks guarding me in exchange for my shit.
Aphids are amazing, their ability to adapt it amazing
I would like to know how they are able to control the genes for wings at will. It seems like it'd be an interesting study if it hasn't already been done.
I called my friend an aphid for like a month straight just to fuck with him. He figured it couldn't be the bug and was convinced it was some kind of insult that he couldn't find the definition to.
One of the easy shit pranks I've ever done
+Nathan Stevenson It's JUST a prank bro!!
Protip: ladybugs eat aphids. You can order them on amazon. a whole huge bag of ladybugs.
+DeLePlays ladybugs and lacewings. There's also some parasitic wasps and fungi that attack aphids. But first, get rid of the ants.
yeah. ladybugs i find to be the best choice though. theyre pretty and fun for kids
So, aphids are the tribbles of the insect world?
So why does running water make me need to pee.
+macmurfy2jka The water in your pee hears it and wants to flow too.
Probably the greatest channel on TH-cam TBH this shit can be Golden but also Sciency and stuff too so it's like a damn playground for me I love it
it really upsets me seeing how much the views have went down for your videos. i know that you get money through patrion and me and my fiance give every month but still your videos deserve alot more views than what they get.
Neat. I was just on an outing with a friend and his three-year-old and we saw some aphids, so I was telling the kid about how the ants like to drink their poop. Science facts are so amusing to tell to toddlers.
Aphids; the Tribbles of the macro world.
+Lara Schilling I thought of tribbles when he said some where born pregnant as well lol.
@SciShow / #SciShow / +SciShow
Shouldn't these type of Aphids be fairly easy to modify in the DNA structure? Since they can produce so much generations so quickly, if you input just a tiny aberration or radiate them just a TINY bit to mutate them, you can essentially under right conditions create a new species within just a year.
Aphids don't suck, they passively allow fluid to pass through them. The pressure inside the plant pushes sap into and through the aphid. The aphid strain out nutrients and the rest is excreted.
Fascinating! I want to know more about aphids now.
man, aphids are a genius creation of the universe
Weathering winter through hearty eggs is fancy, little buggers.
Bring in the lady bugs!!
I'm currently helping on a research project investigating the role of endosymbionts in feeding behaviour of aphids. Watching this episode made me happy, these little suckers really are much more than just an annoying pest :)
Remember the Shivering Isles quest where you get addicted to Felldew? Remember all the giant bugs you had to kill? I'll just let that sink in.
Aphids: the sweetest evolution showcase that happens to be very sour if you care about your garden.
"Giving birth to pregnant babies."
Congratulations, you've just answered the one big question that was on my mind a few weeks ago.
I've been keenly aware of aphids all my life, but didn't know all of these interesting facts about them, go figure. 🤔😳
I need to become an aphid. Like, in my life, every time I figure something out or get on my feet everything changes and falls apart. And I feel like that's just life so being an aphid would make it way easier
Hank is love. Hank is life.
I once had a aphid fly in my face and terrify me. I was mesmerized by the fact that I even noticed something so small when I saw it land on a rail and I looked at it.
animals that can grow wings if they need to in just generations. how freakin amazing is that?!
+Are you for Cereal Can't think of any other Hemiptera that do this from the top of my head (not literally from the top of my head), but obviously ants can, but they are a more advanced family (Hymenoptera). Do termites do it, too? Because they are some of the oldest insects around. Thanks for the thought!
Nikki Bishop ohh ants have the similar ability? I always thought winged ant as being just the queen.
Well, there are kings, too. When the colony gets to a tipping point (too many members, not enough food...), the queen lays eggs that grow winged individuals.
Nikki Bishop interesting! thanks!
Thankyou, so kind.
I have battled these little beggars and can only add that they also seem to be able to spontaneously generate! 😂
But why is there corn in my poop?!?!
I'd rather ask why is there poop in my corn. But that isn't exactly a problem. Anyway, the reason is that corn is very hard to digest. The only reason we can partially digest it in the first place is because of the bacteria we have in our stomach.
Heil!
gradeAunderA huh?
Nando Ginkaku
What?
+SS GradeAunderA made a video where he asked about the corn thing, and one of his viewers made a video doing the experiment Grade outlined. Basically you would take laxative to empty out your digestive system, eat corn kernels without chewing them for a few days, and see how they come out when you poop them out. His fan tried chewing and not-chewing on two separate occasions and filmed the results. Apparently Nando thought the OP or you were referencing it.
+evilcam what cam said
Once I poked a pretty small bush with lawn mower and I got absolutely covered with aphids. There might have been a few hundred on the mower and dozens if not over a hundred over me.
Hey look a channel that deserves more subs than pewdiepie
Shouldn't it be called...honey-doo?
(Sure someone has already said that)
these animals pretty much laugh at our science of classification of animals. amazing.
Took a break from John Green's Crash Course, found this vid amongst the recommendations, and what do you know - it's another Green
I had an aphid ant colony in my garden previous summer, pretty interesting.
You guys should do a video on CRANE FLIES! Many people mistake them as mosquito eaters.
I can not stand those things but it always brings a smile to my face to watch close up videos of lady bugs just grabbing them and eating them like candy. Also just spray the guys off with water before you use any organic or chemicals.
Found a plant infested with aphids, and showed my young daughter....she grabbed a handful of them and ate them...and went back for more!
I couldn't resist....they are really sweet!
This is such a brilliant coincidence :P In my evolution lecture last thursday my lecturer couldn't stop raving about how interesting Aphids are. And to be fair, I would probably have to agree :P
After watching a couple times I had this thought: Aphids are in a matriarchy. Neat.
Babies havin' babies! ~ Hank Green 2016
I 💜 Hank Green
Aphids sound like proto-zerg.
probably the best episode yet. I laughed way too hard with amazement
Aphids sound a lot like tribbles (born pregnant)
My mind is blown away
vid on why my eyes water when i yawn please? :3
Haha yes please, everyone thinks I'm like crying and I'm just like bro I just yawned that's all
Can you just imagine if aphids came in different flavors like jelly beans? Like one beetle is out and about and he's like, "Carl check it out these aphid beans are pina colada." And Carl eats one and says, "Holly Hell Steve, this isn't pina colada!" And Steve says, "oh, I got you good you bastard: it's licorice flavor!"
Perfect timing! I was wondering what all those tiny little white bugs were crawling around in my pot. This probably explains why none of my seedlings are getting very big, and seem to shrivel up at the base, fall over, and die. Time to find some lady beetles or poison.
if they shrivel and die like they are rotting, thats called dampening off. its a diseas that lives in the soil.
sorry, its called damping off.
+omar guerrero Arg really? Ehhhh stupid seedlings and their very particular watering requirements
If any of you have read the novel Darwin's Radio I'm 99% sure this is where greg bear got the idea for it. It's so similar it's almost uncanny.
How has a movie with aliens based on these guys not been made yet? It seems like these bugs are the perfect basis for some intergalactic species.
A pretty fitting life for a being that's basically sugar.
Giving birth to pregnant kids? Sounds like some of the Chav's round here!
I had to rescue my tomato plants last year for these little blood suckers! Soapy water kills them pretty quick or ladybugs work too if you know where to find a bunch.
I always used to joke never leave two bunny slippers under a bed together. Now I say seriously that I hope aphid slippers never become a "thing"!!!
Please do an episode on the science of aquafaba (the bean liquid you can use to make things like mousse and meringue)! Thank you
I knew most of the aphid facts but never though of them as plant mosquitoes. That had me LOLing
Actually aphids don't suck, the phloem is slightly pressurized so it just flows into the aphids.
I think I've seen something that's similar to this before... I believe it was called the 'zerg?'
+Dino M The swarm is coming, are you prepared?
When you can't find your Instagram button.. the Ap hid
👎
Here, hold this L
brilliant
Aphids don't really suck, the phloem is under so much pressure that it is forced into the aphids' mouths - so they're even cooler! :D
This episode oddly really made me want to play some starcraft >_< they remind me of the zerg i guess.
In the town I grew up in the farmers tried releasing tons of ladybugs to combat the aphid populations, except the ladybugs didn't stay on the farms. I'm still completely traumatized by ladybugs.
Where was this and in what year (if you don't mind telling me)? I like learning about biocontrol
It was Spring Lake North Carolina. I can't remember the year maybe '97 or '98. The fields around us were mostly cotton and tobacco; though, I think they were doing soybean as well at the time. It was joyous amounts of fun, I promise.
+Samantha Stroiazzo Thank you :)
Welcome. :)
Hmm... paranoia gets the better of me and somehow I doubt that information really matters about biocontrol. Shame me if I'm wrong in thinking such a think about your innocence. This is the internet after all. So to cover all my basis: my credit history is shot and my score can't go any lower... and if you feel like actually stalking me I'm on a lot of the social media sites. :) (I'm also an anthropologist so I like studying strangers' behaviors and pushing the norms.)
Aphids sounds like a rejected alien idea in a sci-fi horror for being too gross.
Have an Aphid problem? Buy a bag of ladybugs.
They certainly didn't mention this in HS biilogy class.
They also didn't teach you how to use grammar properly.
+Leon Kokonas Well duh, it's a biology class
yosh322 I did't say in Biology class, did I?
+Leon Kokonas I think technically his grammar was fine, but his spelling was off. Also, he was referring to "they" as teachers in a high school biology class, so you were also talking about teachers in a biology class by using "they."
+Tristan Morris Thanks. I was typing on my smartphone and I am more used to a full keyboard. I usually note and correct my fat fingerings, but this one I missed. I have been touch typing since around 1954, so it's hard to get used to using a single finger and using both thumbs would only make it worse.
I don't know why but the aphid reproduction part reminds me of the replicators(from SG), the similarity between the bodies doesn't help either...
am i the only one who thinks this is a PERFECT example of evolution ??
aphids really sap the life outta plants huh? :P
Great episode! Keep it coming!
Do a video on White flies or carpet bugs.
They sound like horror monsters.... If they weren't so tiny, feel like they would be.
Why am I watching this? Oh right. Science
The work and dedication put into these videos is incredible. Outstanding and such an interesting source for knowledge! Made simple and easy to digest, these are topics a middle-schooler can understand and this subject in particular is something I want to share with my fellow biologists. Hey guys, I'm youtube smart! :) great job, SciShow!
aphid infestations seem a lot like the plot to interstellar lol
Imagine that kind of reproduction system on a slightly *larger* insect.
Holy... Aphids are ridiculously metal.
Do a video about ladybugs, how they eat aphids, and how their artificial introduction to environments can lead to infestations of their own (see Harmonia Axyridis)
