[@Cheescurddragon]

So true

[@POOPPOOP34]

Lol

[@ItalianCountryball11]

I used to be scared of butterflies.

[@Caal]

Fun fact: in french we call moths "papillons de nuit" which literally means "butterfly of the night", so to us butterflies and moths are literally the same insect, the only difference being the time of day that we see them

[@Sh4rkzz._]

Wdym french people aren’t real

[@-TelaxyTensei-]

That actually also makes sense to me since the only times I saw a butterfly is in the day and a moth in the night, also I only see butterflies outside, but moths only inside, specifically in my room, when I'm trying to sleep or about to go to sleep

[@Raikuthedragon]

We also simply call them "mites" in french, which is the official term. But yeah we also call them "papillons de nuit"

[@jerryworshiper1587]

mea Culpa Confession Time. When you had pictures of a caterpillar, a butterfly, and a moth all lined up in that order, then said "I'm going to rank each of their life stages separately," I briefly had the horrified thought of "oh god no, does he think that the moth is the third life stage of a butterfly??" But of course you were referring to the larval, pupal, and adult stages the whole time!!!

LET'S GOOOO, love the roly poly love!!! Fun Fact: Despite commonly being referred to as bugs, they aren't actually bugs and are instead isopods, a type of crustacean! (this is my 🤓moment)

[@lawn_moa]

I disagree, 'bug' is a colloquial term not a scientific one, it's not strictly defined and is instead much looser in definition. Saying that 'slaters (roly-polies) aren't bugs because they're isopods' is like saying that 'tomatoes aren't vegetables because they're fruit'. They're both, as these terms ate not mutually exclusive.

[@baguettewoman1413]

[@rileywoolstenhulme4065]

great video! I love to see the many ways which us humans have invented to cope with our fears. I do however hate to inform you that the word "bug" actually only refers to a specific group of insects that posses a tounge-like proboscis and some other stuff. If you're looking for a word to describe all the animals on this list It is actually quite difficult as it includes not only arthropods (insects arachnids and crustaceans) but mollusks (slugs and snails) and annelids (earthworms). The best descriptor to include all those phylums might be "protostomic coelomates" as they posses both protostome development and a true body cavity (coelom) as unifying characteristics. I also would note that the bonus bugs being crustaceans is ironic considering that crustaceans are more closely related to true insects than annelids and mollusks. 🤓🤓🤓

If it helps I’m not afraid of live bugs. Keyword: Live. I held a wasp before and multiple spiders. Whenever there’s a bug in the house I’m the one who deals with it. But if it’s dead, I can’t get near it without feeling dread. Same with crabs and lobsters and shit (which are basically sea bugs, all arthropods) Edit: I had not finished the video when I commented this, and was not aware you had acknowledged lobsters and crabs and shrimp on your list

the only thing i find wrong about this is that WASPS ARE IN A TIER? beedrill is cool and all, but wasps are the freaking crazy neighbors of bees who are for some reason constantly renovating their houses.
