Feels like several poor decisions were made on this one. In particular, the wildlife company letting the anomalous, exponentially reproducing, insatiable locusts out to take walks and selling them to whoever for research seems a bit... stupid.
yeah, they're acting a bit too dumb? like more ridiculous than a J class scp
Then also keeping the evolved ones contained instead of just... Killing all of them? If it was for research they could have just captured more from the ones that escaped
Honestly I can agree with this! However, back then I couldn't think of anything better for the locusts to break out, so it became that way. If I had written this now, I definitely wouldn't have let that slide.
@@JackalRelated
Dont beat yourself over it, I personally think the stupidity displayed was realistic for what companies often do and in-character for the Foundation considering some other SCPs where they put research above safety
@@JackalRelated na you were right on the money. This is exactly the kind of thing I could imagine a government funded agency doing in real life. People forget that oftentimes stupid is realistic
SCP Foundation: *Points to a pile of mulch* "This is why you don't destroy anomalies!"
GOC: *Points to an Earth eaten by bugs* "And this is why you DO!"
One of the things that bugs me (ha) about SCP lore is how inconsistent the Foundation is about destroying SCPs when absolutely necessary.
Sometimes they practice pragmatism and do it when they absolutely must. Sometimes they let this shit happen (in an alternate timeline but still)
High level staff seem to preach to never destroy them ever yet I can think of plenty that the Foundation are actively trying to destroy with fervor, some of which are way less harmful than ones they insist on containing like the wish-granting fly that makes you rot into maggots after you agree to the deal.
Gruesome and scary but hardly world ending, and the SCPF want to destroy it.
Foundation Loyalists: "You destroyed a perfectly normal anomalous chair and now look at it! You hurt its feelings! Its crying!"
GOC Separatists: "You harbored a fast-multiplying mutating insect race and let it go out on walkies? Who's the bad guy here?"
@Ruosong Gao I remember this SCP which showed this example off perfectly. It was something about a town of tiny humans who acted like normal people, the staff wanted to try and protect them and make sure they were taken care of well. But the guy in charge didn't want that to happen he wanted to do the bare minimum and almost let them starve and die out at times despite how much the staff argued against him. Eventually the town of little people had a much smaller population of only a suburb of 6 houses left, and the little people begged the researchers to give them more food and to help them but since they had to listen to the guy in charge, they couldn't do a thing about it. I don't remember what happened to the town but they either died out and we're classified as neutralized, or they still did the bare minimum to the town and it's still alive. But that SCP really did a good job showing how certain individuals in charge typically don't have the same ideas as other members in the foundation. They aren't all under the guide of the same group, they're just individual teams working on they're own SCPs.

This is a common misconception that is spreading like a pestillence in the fandom
@@gremlinfifty2308 good one.
Imagine being a non-anomalous locust and seeing one of them multiplying. Like, you jump over to one of them, assuming there just a regular locust like you, and then it friccen buds in front of you. That would be quite a spook.
"Hey baby, you wanna reproduce?"
"Sure"
Splits like a single celled organism.
Or eats you.
Or it's following the swarm thinking it going to a wheat field and they start chowing down on cow's like we do that now.
hey there pal watch it with the ethnic slurs, there are kids who watch this channel.
The lone locust: "Howdy partner! Fine grass, isn't it?"
Them: "Yes, it is quite fine."
The lone locust: "...maybe I ate too many grapes, I'm seeing double..."
Them: "Double? But what about us two here?"
This is the most incompetent alternate reality SCP Foundation, throwing competent containment procedures and indemnity out the window.
That was my thought too. Like why are they being allowed to multiply pretty much entirely uncontrolled and when allowing them to do so they're transported off-site. Like wtf? Thats just asking for containment breach especially with such a high risk scp. Plus giving some away for other groups to study seems like a very un-foundation like thing to do.
And once they started eating other things the population should've been culled keeping it to as small a population as possible. And the reluctance to set off the nuke even though that wasn't going to eliminate them entirely considering the basic variants still out in the wild.
This universe's foundation are a bunch of dumbasses
After the corona, I feel this is the most realistic
i believe the idea behind this AU is that we should be glad our version isnt this bad at their job
@@Tiana_atr To be fair, the original population was not released or contained by the SCP foundation, but by that seperate group. The SCP foundation did not share the insects with other groups. They were informed about them after the fact.
It's also likely that they did cull the numbers as small as possible, only keeping a few to research in order to find out what causes the mutation and how to prevent it in the wild.

Oooo author sighted!
Nice job writing a nightmare, very impressive.
you wrote this? damm dude love it, that is some great work!
This is a really good and creative idea. Good job man :))
Insect hell? They wrote an SCP about my old University dorm? The sheer horror...
Do tell....
Yes tell us more!
Still at that University rn but had to leave that place last year thanks to covid making it useless combined with a lack of work to pay for it. It was in the pedestrian zone in Passau (Germany) and seemed to be an absolutely perfect living space. You enter the old wooden door between the entrance of 2 shops, go up the stairs and are greeted with a nice roof terrace with entrances to each of the 3 rooms. Had the smallest one, but it was a floor up which made the view nicer as I could actually look into the streets in front of the house. The entire place had been (actually was still being at the time...) renovated freshly, but we started to notice that they had been... slacking... in some areas. Combined with the fact that my 2 other roommates were there more for the party life than anything else, constantly had guests over, and most importantly: rarely got rid off their bottles etc. First were the ants but that was absolutely our fault. The shared bathroom had a window that just had you stare into other housewalls. We had a chirping little newly-hatched bird fall from the roof (wasn't high but just not reachable from our place) onto the window sill. We left the window open for it, hoping the mother would pick him up. It was hot as hell during summer and that bird invited us to the trend of just letting the bathroom window open all the time as the airflow was nice. And then the ants started to crawl in from that window as there was a small patch of grass below the window from another house. In retrospect that garden on that roof was amazing but... it didn't help. We started closing it again, vacuum'd up all the ants and we all had to leave for a month or so for an exchange. Czech Republic for some projects with people who studied german (teaching) over there like us. Silverfish, an ant colony under the scale and in the shower, the smell from a dead bird from presumably the same nest on the tiny sliver of window sil OUTSIDE the window this time and all the flies that were onto it. Some cracks in the walls had given them full access to the entire bathroom. We're lucky the ants didnt crawl under the door to expand their territory TOGETHER WITH THE ONES FROM THE TERRACE which had a resurgance for some reason. The bathroom was so humid when we came back and it turns out that was due to a water pipe leak from our neighbor which they fixed, but didnt bother to clean up. That stuff sat on the ceiling of the bathroom (or leaked into it through the cracks from before) at 29° Celsius for about a month and made any stay in that room even more miserable. Oh and there was now a hornet nest forming outside my window so yeah. We told the landlord about it all and had to leave for a while, until the damages and bugs were all gone. But we never came back as lockdown began and none of us wanted to keep paying for a place we'd only return to like 3 times a semester for the few exams that were still not digital (Germany ftw...). It was honestly fine otherwise. Location, our respective rooms, the terrace blah blah blah. But the Bathroom was our own insect hell. Thanks for coming to my terrible Ted talk.

Why didn't they just exterminate the mutated locust to the point of needing glass to contain? I know this is for a story, but the foundation knew they'd eventually be able to eat anything once they mutated to eating non organic stuff. And it's not like there was a shortage of locust to contain. A lot of these "what if" stories really underplays the foundation's future planning skills.
I guess they became bleeding heart hippies.
@@worldofdoom995 the article elaborated pretty unambiguously on this, the reasoning is that they should keep them for study while totally overestimating their ability to contain it.

It works especially well with SCP videos if you ask me, I’m beginning to see them as something of a modern iteration of The Twilight Zone for the Internet era.

Me at the start of the video: how bad could it be? It's just insects.
Me after the video: I should not have said that.
"Those aren't birds" *chills*
A scenario where the GOC would have been like "See? We told you so!"
Sometime while watching this I thought to myself, "How would the Land Before Time protagonists react to all this?" Since a swarm of locusts basically kicked off the plot of the fifth film (and that was where I first learned locusts existed, though I didn't recognize them as grasshoppers at the time).
It’s like they said from the start, let’s treat this SCP with reckless abandon! Nothing will go wrong, not like the world ends all the time or anything.
"The [locusts] in containment have continued to evolve. They now seem to eat practically any matter"
Some researcher's proposal soon, probably: "How about we just flood 682's containment cell with the locusts"
Makes more sense than what actually happened in the story, namely "Meh, just let 'em out."
The locusts now have an infinite food supply. They have filled 682's container. 682, distressed by the swarm, broke containment, releasing a hoard upon the facility, requiring a detonation of the onsite nuke to prevent an NK-class end of the world event.
Attempts to recapture 682 are ongoing pending nuclear cleanup.
682 adapts to contain its consciousness in each cell, becoming a hive mind in order to infect the locusts. 682 now has the ability to self replicate and eat anything.
I feel like there should be an SCP that is somehow already in containment which forces subtle evolution in normal animals. Maybe relate it to the locusts, saying that they found this SCP in a facility that was going to be used to test a new, but now neutralized/explained, SCP.
Scp 3698(if this number is already taken don't care)aka force evolution
Special containment Procedures:
Scp 3698 is to be kept in a house size containment cell to keep scp 3698 anomalous ability
Description:Scp 3698 is a humanoid entity that is normally kind but is known to loose its temper in which will cause a site size lock down due to it abilities
3698 anomalous ability is to cause certain evolutions in any creature or object at 7 meters around 3698
One test was conducted to see how 3698's ability works.A D class(for now on called 6545)6545 was put in close proximity and after two hours Scp security personnel open the cell only to be attacked by 6545 who had grown a tree like arm granting him a shield against any conventional weaponry after 6545 escape 3898 it to be terminated but 3898 broke containment and is still out there
Sorry for my atrocious writing and story but hope you enjoy my take on it
@@benurban8875 I like it, Buuuut I have to say it is something that would have gotten the Decommissioned status.
SCP-3698-D
Object class: Decommissioned (Formerly Euclid.)
Special Containment Procedures:
Former: Because of the Nature of SCP-3698, a specialized medium humanoid containment cell fitted with monitors, speaker systems, and microphones for communication, the cell itself is to be kept in the center of a 9mx9mx9m containment chamber. No personnel are to enter this chamber under any circumstances. Interaction with SCP-3698 is to be done via remote means such as drones, radios, microphone systems, and/or notes.
Current: SCP-3698-Ds remains are kept in a standard storage locker.
Description: SCP-3698 is a humanoid entity, resembling a young ------ male. While normally docile and compliant with personnel, SCP-3698 is known to enter fits of intense emotional distress at random, causing its effects to increase in radius and severity. Any organism within 7 meters of SCP-3698 will begin to undergo mutations in random areas of the body, with said mutations also varying in effect. Mutations caused by SCP-3698 have almost no exact function compared to similar anomalies [Footnote: such as SCP-016] or noticeable consistent mutations. [Footnote: such as SCP-407]
Addendum: 3698-T Mutation log
Effects during limited testing have resulted in the following:
*Ankles sprouting fungi
*Intense bleeding from open wounds
*The ability to perceive movement faster than should be possible [Footnote: Mutated subject D-1842 was epileptic and suffered severe seizures after exposure]
*The ability to consume inanimate material such as wood and metal.
*[DATA EXPUNGED] [Footnote: The fetus within D-6545 was found to not be affected by this mutation, although it was confirmed deceased]
Addendum: 3698-D Decommissioning
On the [REDACTED], D-6545 was exposed to SCP-3698 during an intense emotional state, resulting in a massive containment breach. SCP-3698 attempted to escape during the event, but was terminated via a stray shot from several security officers who underwent mutation causing their bodies to grow additional fingers that were nonresponsive. SCP-3698s remains were then transported following the securement of the site and the containment breach disarmed. Due to the lack of noticeable effects coming from the corpse, SCP-3698 is now classified as SCP-6698-D, and is to be labeled as Decommissioned.
Note: SCP-3698-Ds cell is now being used as a temporary holding cell for various low danger anomalies.
So basically, it's a Grey Goo or Paperclip scenario where essentially a tiny machine destroys the world by converting everything into more of itself.
Oddly enough there are K class scenarios for those.
NK-Class "Grey goo" scenario, which while theoretical, has occured before.

Yes
I just wanna know what happens to the other SCPs.
Everyone thinks of 682 and all, but I have to think about the Flesh that hates getting torn down.
The carnivorous rabbit would get overwhelmed probably.
Dr. Brights necklace thing might get eaten (?)
I dont know.
The initial containment plan made me so anxious. The Wilson's Wildlife plan, I mean. Had to specify since there ended up being several different actual SCProcedures
Maybe I just read into Fairies and Fae Folk lore, but the first mistake?
Naming the fucking bug “Ghengis”. You know, one of the handful of people that nearly conquered the world?
I don't like how easily the bugs broke containment. There are so many ways the SCP foundation can contain them.
Force fields exist in the lore. Pocket dimensions too. All sorts of solutions.
Those on the wiki would just spam “there is no canon” over and over until you blindly agree, but I’d argue it’s more for the sake of the story, meta-wise. It is just a story, after all, and if the scp just “force fielded” anything, every article would just have a magic force field in the containment procedures.
They thought glass could contain them, and a glass containment chamber is probably cheaper than keeping a forcefield running all the time. By the time they realized glass no longer worked it was too late.
@@saucevc8353 In most scenarios they have multiple back up measures like flooding the chamber with acid. In this one they just had the glass, and then nothing but the nuke.
@@tokenfinnishguy8714 But nothing else would have been able to recontain them. If they can eat the glass, there's nothing they can't eat through, and all it takes is one to get out, so only a nuke would have worked.

When he said Wilson wildlife and followed up with Ghengy I knew what this was all about
Awesome story. Love how it ends up with Solomom. Kinds crazy that one AI has more humility and respect for human life than most of the Foundation. Actually admitting they could have done better and let the world down, you dont often hear that from the Foundation, even if it's coming from an AI.
Ya clearly haven’t read a lot of world ending stories, in most of the ones that I read the foundation accepts that they could have done better and that they didn’t act like they should have.
Insect hell, or as we call it in the south, cicada breeding season.
Please don't stop making these. I jumped on the scp train two years ago and there's too many good pieces to not record and explore.
I like how in the beginning it was very science fiction based on the scp foundation, and the anomalous insect, and towards the end, it started to get really philosophical and whether or not the world should be saved or ended. I really liked that, keep up the good work.
Thanks, I already hate bugs so this was fun to watch. You practically the best I know at putting bizarre but oddly related images in this types of videos, and it makes your video thumbnails seem more iconic of your flawless handiwork, I'd know it's your video without reading the tiled or discription, and watch any way for the fun suprise, plus you final fantasy exploration was on point and truly spectacular
This whole story really exemplifies The Butterfly Effect: All it took was one certain Locust running free.
The Locust Effect

This is the first world ending threat I’ve watched that actually uses SCP2000
i do wish it was used in more world ending scp stories, it does seem like an anticlimactic plot fixing device but this scenario uses it really well
I appreciate you so much, these little stories are such nice distractions from my tinnitus when i try to sleep
This is one of my favorite storylines I’ve ever stumbled upon. I’m glad it’s getting some recognition
Its hard keeping a balance of making the scp foundation a super secret organizarion capable of levels of communication and action we can only dream of and it also struggling to do anything . Personally i really like the bug apocalypse
Dear exploring series. I wont be able to put into wprds how much i admire your work and how thankfull i am for it. By now i have seen every single one of your scp videos ans also the hp lovecraft readings. I await every video every week eagerly and listen to them as soon as they are released. Seriously man i fell in love much to listening to your videos. They have given me so much fun an intrigue
"The situation will all be over in a couple of months."
I've heard that one before
Insect Hell...aka summer in Australia. Of course Insect Hell started with an Australian locust...
How u watch this 2 day ago
It's cause he's Hugh Mungus is how he watched this 2 days ago.
I appreciate SCPs that are more then just trying to be spooky.
I love all these vids, hopefully one day I will get to see "Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-001 - When Day Breaks" in my notifications. Its one of my favorite SCPs and seeing you do a multipart series on it would be amazing. But even if you never did it I will very much enjoy any vids you come out with, thank you for all the content you provide us each week ^^
“Too much of anything can be bad”
Me telling my friend to stop breathing
Man this story had a cool twist ending it's always nice when scp-2000 comes up
Woo hoo!! A new exploring series video! Love the content my man please keep it up!
ngl seeing a new exploring scp series always makes my day.
I remember the first time I saw a mayfly swarm in a city and thought the same thing, of how screwed we'd be if they were carnivorous or stung.
I love how the apocalypse was kicked off by one guy picking the wrong vehicle to evacuate in. That nuke SHOULD have been the end of it, but no, one wrong decision and its all over
I'm so glad you upload these at night, thank you.
Great name dude.
Can you cover SCP-5004 - MEGALOMANIA, by djkaktus? I think you've covered his 4444 one, and 5004 is a sequel to that.
Some universe ending scenario: **exists**
SCP-055 and SCP-579: "it's showtime"
With each story release i seem to act more and more like a kid on xmas morning..
“Yay!!! Insect hell!!”
Great way to start the day
Thank you for doing this for us... I do not know how much you make with this, but know that you make some freaks a lot more happier and self-confident in what they do.
9 am on a monday....
A perfect way to start the week!
Watching through all these again, with the new knowledge of what "battan" means from a fishing minigame in Dark Cloud it seems kind of a shame he wasn't a locust in disguise.
Just when my insomnia needed management. Thanks for this
I listen to you videos every Monday. It helps me get though the week so thank you. Thank you for making my week, sometimes and giving me and many others a great chill place on the internet.
I love how social media posts are included, from the self centered twitter posts, to the 6 IQ tumblr posts, to unhinged 4chan rambling. Very realistic and appreciated.
I remember reading the social media SCP years ago and being impressed by how creative it was. Very glad you covered it here!
15:17 something else ended in tears just a few days ago...
I really like your videos, dude. Have you thought about doing an Exploring Halo series? The stuff on that videogame series can get really crazy.
Thank you so much for introducing me to the scp foundation, and for that hours and hours of entertainment that you have given me. you are the only channel in my subscription feed that I click on every single video.
i like the less Lovecraftian and more concrete videos like this one instead of the cryptic stuff keep up the good work :)
Ngl, the scp article accompanying this, including social media posts, added a strange relatability to the end of the world scenario.
There is another story somewhat related to insect hell involving parawatch, it's called "END OF THE WORLD LIVESTREAM"
It's pretty funny in a dark sorta way.
Yeah that one, also the one of “ they will always find a way in” that one gave me chills, specially the wanderers library scene.
Hell yeah I’m sick and was looking for a new scp video your timing is incredible.
Don't stop making these. I love your narration and style. I get excited when you put out new ones as I'm not a strong reader.
I love how different each canon is. This seems so plausible. I really liked this one.
The earliest I have clicked on a video as well, these are so good please don't ever stop what you do. We love your content! And I really like your voice!
I have an interesting idea for possibly short video. How about SCPs that were initially thought to be anomalous but after some shenanigans proved to be non anomalous natural phenomenon I feel like there are some of those on the wiki and they probably be pretty entertaining
Those are called explained SCPs bro, and there is a handful of them.
That's the thing with exponential growth. Everything looks fine, until it isn't. After that, it's faaaaaar too late.
Another awesome video as always :D
When the foundation of all groups decides that the thing must be cleansed in atomic fire if it breaks glass you know it’s fucking serious
Thank you I love your series! I'm always excited for Monday because of you! Would you ever do Exploration Logs? :D
Oh boy 3am! Just as I was worried I wasnt going to be falling asleep to the sound of scps
7:38 Reminds me of something people were saying march last year.
what a surprise to see pictures of tyranids in an SCP video
