One thing TierZoo doesn't mention when he talks about moths is that they have a couple of ways to counter bats if they detect them approaching. And one of their best methods is to emit sound pulses that can actually JAM a bat's echolocation.
Ive got bitten by a more smaller but common type of assassin bug once when i was younger. There was no puncture in my finger but there was clearly a red dent where the bug did try to bite my finger and it hurts like hell. I screamed in the middle of the night and my parents had to come and deal with the insect it was probably the most scariest encounter ive ever had with a bug.
Fun fact about flies. Their visual and sensory structures recieve the inputs much faster than humans do. When you are touched by semething or you see something, there a roughly 200 miliseconds delay before your brain gets the info and even more before it can process it. So you actually see and feel what happened in the past by some margin. Flies almost don't have this. Their "brains", if you can even call it that, are so primitive and their sensory structures are so quick to respond that they experience a much closer present than we humans do. This is why they can react so fast.
I don’t know how you could set up the story but after seeing this broad Tier list I have to agree with what y’all said before, an insect based souls game would be fun as hell
@@terraria_ranger4887 Eh, it's basically 2D Souls. The dodging/hitting gameplay is the same, the focus on enemy movesets is the same, it's literally Dark Souls in 2 dimensions with bugs.
@@michaelhenry3234 the biggest thing is that soulslike combat generally relies on slower, methodical, and commital gameplay and attacks, while HK's combat doesn't really fit that, especially after you get some movement abilities. Also I might be wrong since I haven't played any soulslikes, but they don't have the aspect of gaining new abilities to progress, in contrast to metroidvanias such as hollow knight.
@@terraria_ranger4887 Bloodborne, though? The combat has to be different to be fun in a 2D perspective, but it's close enough that I think it's accurate to call it a 2D Soulslike. The basics of Souls combat is there, the level design is similar, the lore (and method of storytelling) is similar, the exploration is similar, and it's got difficulty. Hell, it's even got a light and darkness thing going on and the player character is a creature of darkness lol. While Souls games have never had the metroidvania ability progression, you could say it's vaguely similar to Sekiro.
10:39 you ain't paying attention. The thing with stick bugs doesn't work because the disguise fails when moving. A lot of Caterpillars have disguises that work whilst moving.
That clip of the spider killing the silverfish is one of the main reasons I tend to keep spiders around in my house, they’re helping me kill the pests and they don’t wanna fuck with me just as much as I don’t wanna fuck with them.
I generally don't kill wandering spiders that don't make nets, but boy oh boy are daddy long legs annoying with their netting. I swear if I didn't hoover them every few days it would be like Shelob's lair in a couple of weeks.
18:42 we had them in Algeria in 2005 (not sure about the date) and yeah for the next 3days we were founding their dead bodies everywhere, more impressively we had a baby chick in the outdoor and some how he didn't get attacked by this sworn, another thing is that because of how much bodies there were we some times did collect them to feed the chick and honestly it's funny to look at how he does immobilize them (not sure if he doesn't make the difference between dead or alive or if he it's his equivalent of using utensils)
You know seeing that video of the dragonfly nymph in the water and it reminded me of the True Facts video you watched. I feel like you guys should watch Zefrank1's True Facts again, he's been continuing to make some awesome videos.
i Keep pet Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches and they are so cool. The mothers give birth to live babies and will help protect them and they are very gentle unless you try to manhandle them. If you took the opportunity to stop being degusted or afraid of them then you will learn to appreciate and respect them your opinions may change.
I love grasshoppers! one time a huge one jumped on my leg and I just flicked it off even tho I really wanted to keep it. But yeah a million grass hoper invasion like that is just too much
I was surprised about your feelings for butterflies, so I looked up dark facts about them, and the first thing I see is, “Butterflies eat poop, and drink tears.” I’m just like 😶
I have beef with assasin bugs since my country once had many people sick of Chagas (illness) thanks to the Vinchuca (a type of assasin bug). Luckily the infected people are less and less every year but they still make me mad >=( On another note, only way I can kill a [resting] fly is being like a mantis: stay still and veeery slowly get into position ready to strike (since the fly process everything at such a high framerate I seem still and they end up lowering their guard). If the fly is flying tho, I need a swatter or something similar to smack them mid-air (bought something like an electric tennis racket and it works wonders).
I used to eat grasshopper as they are staple food in my traditional normally people wouldn't eat nowadays but i used to enjoy them as we eat them while playing man vs wild with my friends
Earwigs can’t normally pinch hard enough to hurt a person, but my grandma was working in her flower garden once and got pinched by one. It, by sheer coincidence, had managed to pinch her in a way that caused the pinchers to wedge underneath her fingernail in the meat and that earwig was a pain in the a** to get out. Also they sometimes get in peoples ears at least that’s what I’ve heard and that’s gonna be a hard no from me. I think the sheer psychological horror of the idea of it getting inside your ear should at least put it in B tier.
"could you manage if cockroaches could fight" Well if you'd like to see that there's a anime called terraformers it also has a manga too check it out! it's actually pretty good.
Skitten: I'll go with silverfish me, having already watched the video: 😈 also, oh no! i think she was too grossed out by the termite queen's pulsating body to hear the the queens can live as long as humans and elephants! that fact blew my mind!
27:05 fun fact that'll fill ypu with existential dread is humans "peak" in our 20s. I think it's 24 for men and 27 for women. Might be earlier. But basically, after your 20s, it's a gradual nose dive towards oblivion... and not the game.
Scorpions are arachnids, just like spiders. They are not a bug. Bug is sometimes used as a blanket statement term for all arthropods, others say that only insects are bugs, but they're wrong too. Bug is just one order of insect, yet for some reason all insects get called bugs.
Fun fact. If you're mildly allergic to shellfish, you're allergic to cockroaches and termites. I'm only mildly allergic to shellfish, but I am rabidly allergic to termites. Just seeing them on screen give me PTSD. Thanks for that.
Okay off topic but why tf is there a, no exaggeration, MOVIE in my ads? Not an ad for a movie. No but a literal 1 HOUR 22 MINUTE AD about THE F***ING NATIVITY!
Flight is an absolute top tier ability. Why do you think humans valued it so much? Butterflies and whatnot use stealth or mimicing like stick bugs to cover their weaknesses....its not their ONLY ability. Thats the difference here.
26:49 no it's true that the longer lived you are the higher your level cap is. Humans just have terrible growth rates. We need several levels just to be not be fully dependent on a parent and we take many more to reach the stat caps for the average human player human player. Even once we reach that most players don't have anymore stat growth and need to craft equipment or use our abilities as an intelligence build to gain skills using skill share. But even if a human player does that they will have stacking debuffs as they approach the level cap.
Skitten: I'd die if a cricket was in my car me, who has had to deal with crickets being inside my entire life: aha side note, don't look up a camel/spider cricket. they are stupid, ugly, and generally awful
also, yes water bugs can ABSOLUTELY take out frogs, they are known for being one of the most extremely painful "bites" known to man and a lot of people fear them
Chavezz in that crown in the beginning is a SoundCloud rap album cover. Change my mind Edit: I’m guessing you haven’t seen that SpongeBob episode about the butterfly, Skitten😂
Y'know, you can tell that Chavezz took a few seconds to decide whether or not the "rear-facing weapon" joke was a good idea. Furthermore your reaction was absolutely priceless Made me choke on my food laughing, thanks y'all
I think Earwigs are S Tier, they're Wings are strangely beautiful and I recently managed to get one to come on my hand (memory is shxt so might be remembering wrong) and it was peaceful, not as bad as I thought.

Just mad uncomfortable lol
Ugh... and how everyone's focus is on you... and those rando passersby who start singing along... 😩
“Butterflies are horrifying, they’re so ugly.”
Moths: perhaps we can change your mind? We’re so fluffy!
Moths arent butterflies. Why tf would moths being cute change somebody's opinion on butterflies?
@@zeallust8542 Thou art a fool.
@@zeallust8542 some people who don't like butterflies also don't like moths thinking they're very similar
Moths have the cute faces that butterflies wish they had
Moths are far superior

Yes

The close-up on the eyes of the bug at the beginning was the best moments

At last a common struggle. Allergies need to stop existing. Also love the crown.
Chavezz with the crown is like him wearing the crown of shadows. Dnd has a hold on me and i want to tpk my party
That spongebob episode is what made me scared of butterflies lmfaoo traumatized me as a kid alongside the mummy episode in courage the cowardly dog
im sure most people have spongebob to blame for that fear
I haven't seen or watched Chavezz for 2 years and I see him now lookin fully like a dwarven King
Chavez is a mood I feel everyday 😂😂
Little pre schooler me would spend hours looking for cool bugs in the yard

Those ladybugs that always pee on you... it's not pee. It's acidic blood that they squirt from their 'kneecaps'.

"He went to popeyes"
Fun fact: the Diabolical Ironclad Beetle have such high defense that they have survived being run over by cars
I remember the locust storm! I flew there for a game tournament and actually ended up running into you guys!
I am the ultimate fly killer, I use pairs of pants, the blinds, sometimes even my hands because they tested me so now they gotta catch these hands.
As a Mantis main, I know we aren’t too teir. But the thrill of being able to reliably fight AND KILL small bird players is a reward in it of itself.
"Might see scorpions on here when he starts talking about spiders"
Damn Chavez, you fr didnt know that spiders arent insects?

S tier ad transition
King type crowns are usually wider and have a thicker base.

The dragonfly also has a very messed up larvae form. The nymph is a water based jaws bug. They kill little fish, and even small frogs
imo dragonfly nymphs are based cuz they kill mosquito larvae
That’s how crickets are in San Marcos Texas. They come out in swarms and you just hear the crushing on the sidewalk
Show her what ladybugs do. They are vicious and commanding. Afids being farmed by ants too
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ! exactly what i expected lol!!!!!
