He is the coolest looking bug ever, hes pimpin with his cologne

Amazing video! I too have a CZcams channel related to invertebrates and I'm highly inspired after watching this one... The passion is crazy...

Watching this right after catching one sitting on the ground outside. Definitely a male one cause he's buzzing up a storm in the container I put him in. He's dull brown tho, damn those ones you have are so cool looking.

THE TIPPING POINTS HAVE STARTED. ❤

The tipping points have started, and no one can see it. Meanwhile the usa is shipping isrHELL ANOTHER 20 BILLION for GEENOCIDE

Also popular in Arizona.

They eat the bug guts build up on cars.. Why not hunt get some fresh😂😅

Beyond interesting! Thank you for the information!

The future needs to look like a giant skyscraper with homes schools hospital etc in it, in the middle of a farm and garden for local production.

What organizations are working on fixing this and what solutions do we have across global/national/state/county/city-town-village- university campus and school campus, municipal buildings and buisness roofs and backyards as well as city parks and highways etc? Who has the solutions and regenerative science to fix a lot of this?

Grocery stores either need solar panels and or pollinator plants on top of car ports in their parking lots

Look up native keystone species of plants to plant in your area

Yup, been wondering where all the fire flys went. I use this as an example of insects being gone

This is another reason lawns are wasteful

This is also what happens when we have private property rights, because then those “rights” take precedence over nature.

When i was a kid i often stayed up at night with a light on outside to see which insects would come by. There were all matter of moths, bugs and more. So many insects and also bats! If i do this now all i get are tons of mosquitoes and a couple small moths... There still are insects but they are dissapearing. It's horrible, the planet needs them!

It sounds like the 3rd rail

Who's here after watching #KyleHill's same vid from a couple weeks ago. lol

name: giant swallowtail caterpillar

I've been a professional gardener in the UK for the last 15 years and my two main observations over that time would be that there's less bugs around every year and that the weather/seasons are getting really hard to predict. I can see how these things would go largely unnoticed by people who aren't reliant on predictable weather and don't spend a large amount of the time with their head in the scenery, neither are extreme enough to be obvious (yet) but you do notice if you look for it. I can count the amount of wasps I've seen this year on one hand, normally they're a constant source of irritation at this time of year particularly where the apples are dropping but this year I've noticed the stark absence of their bothersome presence. Frightening times

The decline in insects appears to by directly proportional to the amount of geoengineering (stratospheric aerosol injection) they have been doing over the last 6 years. Look up at the skies people, do they look normal to you? WAKE UP!

They distract us with climate change, blaming it on fossil fuels. Any climate change is due to our transformation of the earth's surface. Think of an acre of forest. Now replace it with an acre of asphalt and concrete. Multiply that by billions of acres worldwide. There is your climate change.

My kitchen window used to be covered with all kinds of insects at night, attracted to the light. Now there is hardly anything on the window at night.

It is very alarming when they try to eliminate certain pests (e.g. mosquitoes) with genetic engineering. UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES will surely lead to bad things.

Humans cannot live without insects. Insects do just fine without us.

Look up folks, they've been spraying us since the sixties.

FINALLY somebody who is able to explain that Ladybeetles are similar species to ladybugs

No bees this year in our wild garden. Only a couple of years ago there were many.

Bring back ELF

Starmer stool them

They're all in my garden

Outstanding. Deserves several orders of magnitude more views.

I have been looking for anyone that has also noticed how serious the insect decline has been. I'm in the uk and have noticed not just a lack of insects but have also noticed a change in texture and flavour of some fruit. Getting pretty worried here tbh x

Now I'm ready for Alien: Romulus :D

I have always had a soft spot for praying mantis's. A couple of years ago I found out that you can keep them as pets. That very day I did my research on what I needed to do to have my own pet mantis. I received my captive bred praying mantis & I fell absolutely in love with it. Since then I have kept dozens of mantids & in the process I have grown a soft spot for all insects & arachnids. I now genuinely care about these creatures. Thanks to Travis McEnry I am no longer afraid of spiders & no longer kill them on site. I feel really bad about the massacre that I carried out in the past, they were just trying to live their lives & meant me no harm. I am now going to convert my grass yard into a "no lawn" & instead grow native wild flowers & other flower beds for the local insects to eat & enjoy. I dont mind sharing my yard with them. & wild flowers are a LOT less maintenance heavy than a grass lawn, that provides no benefit to the ecosystem. I might even release an ootheca of mantis's on my yard so that they can keep the bug population under control for me!

I have issues about all these pieces of paper that get thrown around with degrees on them and then the universities call on people like me that has none of those pieces of paper to help them out 😆 Care for a species, breed that species, watch that species, grow the nymphs of that species back to adult and repeat. That's how you learn about arthropods. Books can only take you so far.

I've got unmedicated adhd and I stayed glued to this presentation until the end. Nice.

Wow. Consise, thorough, passionate, accessible, beautifully edited, relevant, opinionated, insects. This presentation is truly something special. Thank you for sharing.

Here in England in late July and l can tell you there are practically no insects this year. No Bumble bees, wasps, horse flies, butterflies, caterpillars etc . The only insects are the honey bees from beekeepers hives nearby. I'm a grower and have a nursery full of beautiful flowering plants. The silence and emptiness is surreal.

I have been unable to grasp why termites go through incomplete metamorphosis while ants are complete. I've been reading and watching anything. You just told me the ever elusive answer in the first 15 seconds. They don't go into a pupua to reach adulthood. Why couldn't everyone else just say that. I love you. Thank you so much.

Cloud seeding and weather modification. They are constantly spraying silver iodide & potassium chloride in the stratosphere to make for permanent cloud cover & rain. It seems to be acting like an insecticide (which we are all ingesting too). Have you noticed the total lack of bug & fly spatter on your windscreens and wing mirrors ?

500 Million years of variation and evolution gone in a moment... you can see the decline year by year now

Oblige garden owners to have Compost Heaps in a corner... maybe a resevoir of worms and hopefully insects

They either all died already or learned to avoid vehicles. In the 80's your car got covered if you drove at night. Now I find almost no bugs on my truck, ever.

I agree with what you are saying, its literally been years since I have seen a hawk moth in Europe. Talking with my son and an old friend both of whom have budllea in their gardens in the UK which in years gone by attracted butterflys by the score now there are very few. Last year I visited the 'old home town' just across the border outside West London and when I was a kid back in the late 50s &; 60s the sky was 'black' with swifts, house martins and a few swallows, whilst sand martins were common by the River Thames, now there are only a few flying around. I am wtiting this in Spain, where there are far fewer wall geckos than there used to be and i rarelly ever see a butterfly. Whilst I fully realise that this evidence is only anecdotal and far from scientific I have sadly come to the same conclusion as you have that inscets especially flying one have declined quite sharply and noticably in my lifetime.

Nothing to do with 5G, of course.
