Hey Benito I stumbled upon your videos randomly, and I remember you from primary school back in Mexico. I love your videos.

How on earth do you extract the brain from the butterfly?
@benitosexplenations4 жыл бұрын
Haha, using VERY fine forceps. All of my brains had been dissected out already so this isn’t an art I have properly perfected yet. The time will come soon I’m sure (especially when I’m allowed to get out into the field). Hope you enjoyed the video. Don’t forget to subscribe!

Doesn't it make you sad to kill butterflies :(
@benitosexplenations3 жыл бұрын
Great question. Luckily, I haven’t had to kill any yet, all my samples were collected previously by my supervisor. It’s a tricky one for sure but getting permits to do these things is a very rigorous process and a lot of thought and care goes in to ensure we’re not taking too much. These butterflies only live for maximum two weeks so at least it doesn’t feel like we’ve deprived them of a long and illustrious life ☺️
