Why do you pronounce the p in ptera when it's in the middle of a word? Pronouncing the p obscures the translation, so is there a good reason for this or is it just a naive approach that has become too common to fix?

OH! So Parents told their kids to not get too close to others with long dirty hair, seeing as that's how the lice transmits and gets on to the next person, and they do this by telling their kids that the others with the bad hair have 'cooties'. Kids not paying attention only understood the part of other kids have cooties, and especially dirty kids with long hair = dirty boys with unkempt hair - 'boys have cooties' and girls with usually a longer hairstyle - 'girls have cooties'. This then became the shorthand for "kids of the opposite gender have 'cooties' ", ~war of the genders~ style. Then as we grew up we got better at keeping to ourselves and not touching heads/hair, we also realized we never knew what cooties were and all collectively thought that it must've been made up. BUT NO, cooties is a real thing, and it's the lice we used to get back when we believed in cooties but only as a thing the opposite gender had!

well the point of the original hagfish video was that it could either be in the clade or out of the clade, and the group would still be monophyletic, so it's not necessarily out of the clade. just depends on your point of view.

@HuckleberryHim 3 ай бұрын

It really means they are inside the clade but occupying a "basal" position. You can always debate what a certain label should include or exclude, but there is still a clade regardless of what you call it that includes both hagfish and the rest of Vertebrata, with hagfish being "basal". It's more debatable what "basal" really means, and not every clade has its obvious "hagfish". But it is a useful and mostly accurate way of framing things

The word "bug", etymologically, was only first applied to arthropods in reference to one singular species, and only later was applied to its many relatives: the bedbug. The word originally meant a malevolent haunting spirit (it's related to the "boogy/bogey" of "boogyman"), and if there's anything horrible that plagues you unseen while you try to sleep, it would be bedbugs.

I had to comment so my profile pic would show: the ever so cute boll weevil. When I was very young, I put an ant lion in a large jar of sand and fed it ants and other small insects after it made its funnel. Imagine my surprise when I looked in the jar after a few days and found this great big thing flying around in the jar! Later, I found that this was the adult Myrmeleon. This was one of the sparks that led me to become an entomologist. When I was a young teen I had a girl friend for a rather short period of time who chided me for always looking down when I walked. I thought this but didn't tell her that the insects crawling around my feet were much more interesting than she was

Insects are probably the most underrated animals on the planet. Thank you for allowing us to get to know them. Posting a comment on Clint's Reptiles videos until he makes a video about the Harris Hawk and/or the Caracaras, some of the best living predatory dinosaurs. Striated Caracaras are on the same level as Goffins Cockatoos, and they are extremely predatory. Harris Hawks in the Sonaran Desert hunt and live in social packs from 2-7 of related and unrelated individuals, using a variety of sophisticated tactics. They are literally living pack hunting therapod dinosaurs. Because of this they are extremely common in falconry, they accept the falconer as part of their packs.

Shoutout to my 10th grade honors biology teacher, Mr Anderson. We had to create an insect collection the summer before his class with at least 100 specimens from at least 10 orders, all identified, pinned, and labeled. For extra credit, we could max at 200 insects. Most of us did. We could only have two of each identified species, but if we could determine male vs female, we could have two females and two males. (I learned to love ovipositors.) I still remember thrips because of his class, and I remember that ants, bees, and wasps were in the same order. This video was a wonderful blast back to Mr Anderson’s class, the summer I spent running around with a butterfly net, and my mother’s long suffering patience in letting me store many insects in the freezer before pinning them.

I wrote a paper on the evolution of halteres in college and I’m pretty sure Diptera evolved from a sect of Mecoptera, and halteres are primarily sensory organs (they have mechanoreceptory campaniform sensilla that exist on all insect wings in much higher concentration) and don’t generate lift to allow them to more accurately sense forces on their body. Also in some more derived and very successful clades they swing their halteres while walking too and it’s not really clear why! Also I personally would love a full video on Diptera, there are so many unique body forms and ecological strategies that no one thinks about when they think of flies

Minor correction: apoidea INCLUDES sphecoid wasps! Formicidea is closely related to apoidea, but sphecoid wasps are in the same superfamily as the bees

@indyreno2933 3 ай бұрын

@Eosinophyllis, nope, that is only a controversial taxonomy, sphecoid wasps are their own superfamily (Sphecoidea) and while Formicoidea is restricted only to the bees and bees are more closely related to ants than bees are to sphecoid wasps, also ants no longer form only one family, as a superfamily (Formicoidea), they are now officially divided into six different families: Leptanillidae (contains Martialinae and Leptanillinae), Poneridae (contains Ponerinae, Apomyrminae, Amblyoponinae, Paraponerinae, Agroecomyrmecinae, and Proceratiinae), Dorylidae, Myrmeciidae (includes Pseudomyrmecinae and Myrmeciinae), Dolichoderidae (includes Aneuretinae and Dolichoderinae), and Formicidae (includes Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Heteroponerinae, and Ectatomminae) Just like bees (superfamily Formicoidea) are divided into more than one extant family, ants (superfamily Formicoidea) are now split into more than one extant family

I love how the very aggressive and most common form of "Yellow Jack" (the ones that make nest in grounds or hollowed out trees) you see in the USA is literally just a smaller "Bald Faced Hornet." And the Bald Faced Hornet is a Smaller Asian Giant Hornet. All three have nearly identical features, and markings but with different coloration. So they're likely as related to each other as the Widow Spiders are to each other despite being spread around the world.

@matyaskassay4346 3 ай бұрын

Most yellowjackets belong in the genus Vespula or Dolichovespula, while hornets are in the order Vespa. In contrast, all black widows are in the genus Latrodectus.

@Alte.Kameraden 3 ай бұрын

@@matyaskassay4346 Well issue is there is a lot of nuance within that though. What is most commonly called a Yellow Jacket in the USA is most definitely a form of Hornet. Right down to tiny details like hairs. They're literally just smaller Bald Faced Hornets but with brighter coloration. They're also just as aggressive as hornets. Live nearly identical lives as their larger cousins. I've gotten to a point that I don't really care if they gave them a different classification. I think the issue arises because there area lot of waspe given the name Yellow Jacket even in the USA. But the aggressive one that terrifies the public's mind is far more Hornet like than all those other varieties.

@@Eosinophyllis Then so must be Giant Asian Hornets as well. As I mentioned the only real difference is size/colors. In fact Giant Asian Hornets look like Ground Yellow Jackets just big and Orange. All three are very aggressive species and share behaviors. It's actually not uncommon seeing Ground Yellow Jackets and Bald Faced Hornets fighting over the same food source as well.
