I think the BBC missed an opportunity here. The importance of 17 was missed: It's a 'relatively' large Prime Number. Some predators might also have breeding cycles longer than one year. The number 17 is a number than cannot be relied upon by any predator with a breeding cycle of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc years. But 15, 16 or 18 years would make them more vulnerable to two or more of these much shorter cycles. Yes, a breeding cycle of 1 year catches everything, but they generally cannot afford to wait 17 years for a big meal. The fascinating question is how did Cicadas evolve to for their biology to count up to 17? (and why not 11 or 13?) The BBC didn't try to explain.
This amazing documentary clips made me feel sorry for a slug, root for a cute jumping spider looking for love, be totally in awe of warring ants and wasps with battle scenes better than any period drama. 🤩
You ain't a kiddin'! Can you imagine all the work (and equipment) that went into the Stag Beetle video? The footage showing the beetles tree climbing POV required a camera attached to a cable with a pulley. All the shots of defeated beetles, sailing back to the (re)starting point, must have taken a few days, as those weren't just different shots of the same beetle cruisin' downward! Nope, those are all different beetles! Lots of competition for the one girl - she must be a real honey, from a bug-eyed perspective! I can't see it... I mean, she's nice looking, and all, but no Venus de Buglio, IMO...
I live half the year in Canada and half in Thailand just outside Chaing Mai. The Cicadas bloomed about 5 years ago, what a racket. There were millions dead on the roads, our driveway was full. My wife had never experienced this either. When it first started it was alarming
The snail eating the worm man... that was the hardest thing to watch, imagined the worm inside the snail wigling around bahhh.. 6000 teeths is amazing tho
Female trapdoor spiders in Western Australia that can live over 40 years. And an over 20 year old female tree funnel web in the north of New South Wales in Australia that a guy has been visiting for 2 decades in the same tree is also a good candidate. Not so much creepy, just amazing!
The Scary World of Creepy Crawlies | BBC Earth. 12.11.23. I reckon that an evertonian bloke who kept normal run of the mill UK garden snails in captivity would have succeeded in growing said snail to the size of his fist....easy.
These captivating documentaries evoked empathy for a slug, inspired support for a charming jumping spider in search of love, and engendered deep respect for the intense confrontations between ants and wasps, surpassing even the most fascinating period drama scenes🥰
i stuck here for watching BBC Earth Docus!!!!! Wonderful and Brilliant. Awesome and cruel at once! What Pictures the Filmmakers deliver is amazing! Kisses and hugs to all of the Filmmakers and Crews that make this possible! For sure, without you we never see that wildlife and with your informations of this creatures you complete knowledge in a serious way. Should be shown in Schools, help teachers to train kids and students to make Earth a better place! We need that understanding to do well and for knowing how we should protect our world! At the end i just wanna say: Many, many Thanks (from a German Fan) to you.
I remember before kindergarten when I was very small I had a baby sitter missy. She was maybe the most prolific person when It came to swearing and being crazy. I found a giant zebra slug and I was studying it and she walked up and instantly stomped it under her foot. It really really really upset me, one second I have a slug friend and the next second it's splattered. I haven't thought of that In a very long time.
Mr. Cicada..... THIS is your LIFE! You were born 17 years ago, spent all 17 of them underground doing nothing but sucking tree roots until that great day when you dug out and climbed up that huge tree. Then you mated and died 3 days later. What a great life! What a great god we worship!
The dedication thís team of documentary film makers show is simply incredible - the way all the separate elements come together to produce such amazing results makes me proud of my ppl, the hoomon race
15:20 when that praying mantis side eyes the spider on his way to the female 👀 😂😂😂 he was like "I know you saw your boys body over there... shes not even cute" 🙄
I read a neat theory that part of how locust swarms move could be because of cannibalism, there's a constant fleeing and chasing that causes them to all move together
11:22 i still cant get over the fact that this beetle jist kicks the ants like footballs here
😂😂😂😂
TWO POINTS!
The TF2 dub is even funnier.
Sir David Attenborough is the best wildlife narrator. He's 97 years old and still going strong
Any day now too
Daym he’s 97
I didn’t know this fact. This is amazing.
Yk, if he was in his 20s trying to talk like this, everyone would think hes a right toff. But since he's old, he can probably talk about anything and still sound wise.
Isn't that beautiful
34:05 the best story ever... I mean this guy after the "work" just knocked down the lady 😂 unbelivable😂😂😂
How do they get footage inside these antholes. You guys deserve so much credit
In the documentary series “life in the undergrowth” they show how they record insects with fiber optics cameras. It’s pretty neat
Even the sound of the insets scurrying across the ground!
thats just added in post@@nightlightabcd
They just strap a go-pro to the back of an ant 😀
@@nightlightabcdsounds are most likely a post-production sound editing
*The Stag Beetle’s “Four F” motto;*

FLING ‘EM! 😂
Haha, nice variation on the old adage!
I’m watching this to distract myself from thinking about my ex 😂
Nothing shall help you mate, be a man, face it. You didn't find yourself at the dump. You're better than these.
Hit the gym instead
Ik that feeling my homie🤝🏼
@@duanechism273 Thanks! I’m gonna do that as well. But, at midnight when I’m wide awake, BBC nature videos help.
@@Markelloreal Thanks, bro!
These documentaries are phenomenal
That beetle just kicking those ants at 11:40 is perfect ❤😂
TWO POINTS!
Jeez. Slugs do everything slow, even death.
"She kills him anyways"
Spider life is tough
hehehhe

That lizard mimicking the beetle 😂😂
I felt sorry for that snail in the beginning but damn he held it's own.
How are u so dumb to think that’s a snail? The video said many times it’s a slug and the lack of a shell should tell you that 🤦♀️
Def surprised at the defense system being able to goo them up. Did not see that coming
Kudos to Ant cameraman who decided to record this whole event for us and also missed the whole feast in doing so....
Don’t worry she was fed later in the nest
The stag beetle is hilarious. Just throws her off after he was done with her like, "Well thanks for everything girl. Time to get off my tree now." 😂😂
That shiiiiite Cracked me up,lol
Cicada:"Can I go to school mom?"
Mom cicada:"Nope, you're the feeding-predators sibling"

In the US there are different types. They all follow their own prime number of set of years. The why not is exactly what Nature thought
@@michaelhart7569 There are 13-year cicada species.

Right? And the poor ant gets eaten in the end. I guess there are worse ways to go -He had one last hurrah!
The defensive stance of the king cobra was menacing, but it's a bit problematic to find fascination in such deadly creatures, right?
That beetle 🪲 kicks send ants flying was hilarious 😂
TWO POINTS!
The time, work, patience to get these videos/films is beyond me. Thank you film crew, everyone.

Seeing the playful but fierce interactions of the otters was cute, however, should we be entertained by their mock battles?
At this moment of the video 11:32 The narrator says “The valiant ants drive him off into real danger : Amongus” 😂😂😂
* a mongoose
@@randomhunter47 I know
Or the ATV.
11:42 This part is very amazing
The snail eating the worm man... that was the hardest thing to watch, imagined the worm inside the snail wigling around bahhh.. 6000 teeths is amazing tho
Creepy crawlies are everywhere, which one do you find the creepiest?
Spiders African Beatles they shoot things out of their ass no thanks
Probably centipedes, Scutigera in particular, they are very creepy and very crawly too
@@felixbaumgartner5474 For me it's gotta be scolopendra but hey nice to see we're ok the same wavelength! 😂

The ones that my autistic daughter 'deconstructs' and puts in my bed 😳
It's all beautiful till the time it doesn't step inside our house!
He did all that work then threw her ass out the tree. 😂😂😂
The Female Jumping Spider was probably saying will you keep still
Part with the Stag beatle is truly amazing.
9:41 that thing is a monster
*Incredible* video footage of crazy creatures!! Love it. Thank you. 👍🏼
The intelligence of the ants is stunning
Some believed that the next civilization that Evolves after humans will be ants or orcas and we would be the elders race to them 😂
@@zondor8123 it'd be neither so long as a single primate species survive our destruction.
It's more collective intelligence, 1 single ant can't really do anything revolutionary but 1 human can.
I'm so grossed out.
Poor little slug 🐛 bug.
Poor thing. So sad
It’s not sad the ants have to eat.
Without the ants the slugs will overrun the forests ~
I'm not.
It's nature and it's normal
Listening to narration by Sir David makes me wonder what a marvellous achievement by a man of his age! May he keep going strong n healthy!
11:43 **insert funny popular videogame character**
Absolutely amazing, kudos, to the BBC
crew, they do great work in filming these amazing insects.

The power struggle between the eagles was majestic, however, it's a bit contentious, right?
@@wanimalus ???????????????????? you mean the rock band?
ayo that slug put up a damn good fight though

The music during the giant hornets massacre (30:17) is amazing.
Better check my bed tonight for creepy crawlers
Excellent footage and narration. Thanks!
24:58 this is why you should NEVER mess with an ant pile
I was going to relax and watch an old Japanese monster movie while I do my books, but this is even better.
5:40 music to my ears. you should listen too! 👍🏼
the spider one i’m cryinggghg
''He matched her expectations but she kills him anyway'' 18:00
Love that dancing guy though, looks like my best friend trying to impress his crush
Here in my country we have the cicadas every year, during spring.
Hail from Brazil ✌
I even accidentally graze a worm : breaks into 15 pieces.
Snail slowly, SLOWLY, consumes a worm : ohhhh noooooooo, you got me.
😑
Look at them...They're just amazing little animals
... @ 17:20... " I WANT SNOO SNOO... "… 🕷️
36:54 why did he do that?? 😂 yeet
39:41 I'd recognize that soundbite anywhere! That's the Don't Starve pigman oink!
Human beings are more creeper than this 🤧
Dudes out here living like a stag beetle
Omg this is the cutest and funniest thing I've seen in a while 12:35
Yes, scary enough for Halloween!
We have the 17yr cicada here in Florida. They're absolutely defining! Louder than a 747 jet taking off! SPL
More about the Devil Riders, please. I have them in my yard, but unfortunately I'm not BBC Earth, and don't know much about them.
good luck is all i can say
Arthropods are freakin' amazing !!!

The beetle fighting his way to female is so romantic
...That ain't it chief.
14:32 awwwww its adorable
5:07 wow! 🫢 those are a lot of cicadas
Even after the several minutes dance and being her match “she killed him anyway”. We would never understand!
I never thought i would be afraid of a snail before.
So fascinating 😊
Thanks, for sharing❤
I remember before kindergarten when I was very small I had a baby sitter missy. She was maybe the most prolific person when It came to swearing and being crazy. I found a giant zebra slug and I was studying it and she walked up and instantly stomped it under her foot. It really really really upset me, one second I have a slug friend and the next second it's splattered. I haven't thought of that In a very long time.
What an insight on what mother nature has created way beyond our everyday hustle bustle of life, work, family, and leisure. Amazing ❤️🩹
I can't believe I'm crying over a lizard copying a beetle's gait 😭
21:48 That's not a gruesome heading at all! Hey kids! Come watch this!
The cicadas 😅
Mr. Cicada..... THIS is your LIFE! You were born 17 years ago, spent all 17 of them underground doing nothing but sucking tree roots until that great day when you dug out and climbed up that huge tree. Then you mated and died 3 days later. What a great life! What a great god we worship!

36:54 - as a follover, I've already seen it, but it's still funn, this dude is incredibly brutal=)
That beetle is like a guy with a flamethrower!
I love the spider dance

6:40 boyaaaa, times are GOOD! Get them cicada on the grill, Bobby! It's BBQ TIME!!!!
I've come to love the creepy crawlers
Its crazy that bugs are unaffected by fall damage. I fell 2 feet and broke my shoulder once. Nature isnt fair man.
Not sure what's so amazing about the bombardier beetle. I experience the same thing after an all you can eat ghost pepper wing night 😂
Absolutely fascinating stuff. I would like to see a programme about the scorpians living in a wall in Sheerness.
14:9 literally me sharting at 3 am
15:20 when that praying mantis side eyes the spider on his way to the female 👀 😂😂😂 he was like "I know you saw your boys body over there... shes not even cute" 🙄
would ABSOLUTELY LOVE Ze Frank to voiceover the entirety of this video.
10:39 My favorite!
when ants wield soil for slug slime as a tool,this next level shit blow my mind.
First 3 mins terrified me 😮
Such a incredible film shooting !!!😮😮😮❤
17:81 at this point it looks like he's just taunting her
I read a neat theory that part of how locust swarms move could be because of cannibalism, there's a constant fleeing and chasing that causes them to all move together
How do you even film tiny spiders dance, that too in the wild??
I will watch when Im not trying to sleep lol
Very well thank you
Imagine ants evolve tall as a dog😱
Respect to camera that took these footage
We’re due this year for our cicadas. What a life! Awaken, crawl out of the ground up a tree. Make loud noises, mate, lay eggs, go back underground.
Waiting 17 years just to live and day in 1 days
ta jaszczura udająca chrząszcza jest zajebista :)
Ok well, that first clip alone was enough internet for the night, Jesus Christ
There for a minute, I thought that slug was gonna win.
