If you want to help, consider becoming a member of my crowdfunding platform Patreon: / bartbutterflies - I am not just a random vlogger or KZbinr, I am an amateur entomologist that works with insects and makes educational content about them.

HOW does Bart get so many views and subscribers with just videos about obscure subjects like moths and insects? Well, to be honest, it’s because I am cheating a little. I use an extension called “TubeBuddy” that automatically generates the optimal keywords that will attract the maximum amount of viewers and subscribes, makes thumbnails for me, and analyses my content so I can learn what my audience wants to see. You can even add a rival channel to TubeBuddy and see from what keywords they are getting their views and subscribers, so that you can use them as well and ‘steal’viewers away from popular channels to your channel! If you are a serious KZbinr that wants more views and subscribers and wants to make KZbin their job, then you cannot go without TubeBuddy. TubeBuddy is free to use, and a free version that will improve your channel is available for everyone! There is also a paid version however, that has many more features. Follow this link to try Tubebuddy for free: www.tubebuddy.com/BartMothman - oh and before you go and use it to improve your channel, let’s keep this a secret, so that me and my audience have the advantage ;)

Check out my hobby website! I write caresheets about several species of butterflies and moths, so that you can learn how to breed them! It’s like my KZbin channel but in website form! Check it out: breedingbutterflies.com/
-
HOW Do I get the good equipment and tools for breeding and studying moths like Bart does? Because I got so many questions, I made webstores on websites like Ebay and Amazon, listing the EXACT same products that I use in my videos! This is so you can copy my breeding, researching and moth trapping methods! No, I do NOT sell these products myself, I just show you where to buy them! Amazon store: www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amz...

The moths are just lovely! Never apologize about you accent, it is beautiful and you speak English perfectly!

[@lrm52283]

The Dutch, along with almost every European country, have multiple national languages. So it's not a second language. He may have grown up speaking as many as 4 languages. Being from Texas, I spoke Spanish as a kid, but bc America is so ethnocentric I eventually had no one to converse with and forgot :(

what are your species? i only collect Atlas moths since i live in the Philippines, but sometimes i take home different caterpillars from my garden since a trapjaw colony is there

Mostly North American species like Polyphemus and lunas. I also have hyalophorae species

From 1990 to 2005 I operated a caterpillar farm, specializing in the rearing of Saturniid moths. I also reared Monarch Butterflies for release int the wild.

[@joesell2565]

So many beautiful old friends of my childhood in Minnesota. Cecropia & Luna are favorites.

[@baggiemaggie5306]

i really appreciate how gentle you are with the moths!

[@CrimsonHelldrake]

*THOSE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!* thanks SO much for keeping the moth population up for we would hate to loose these lovely elegant wonderful creatures.

[@jukingeo]

Actually here in the U.S. ,We pronounce the first C in 'Cecropia' like an 'S', so it sounds like 'Secropia'. You got Polyphemus right though :). I do the same thing too, often mixing Polyphemus with Promethea. All beautiful silkmoths indeed. The last one is really pretty.

[@BartCoppens]

Really! I wasn't aware of that, they are not words or names you hear often!

[@jukingeo]

No, I probably would be same with European moths.

[@Eeb874]

Hey your from another comment In the video when 2 moths died and the rest had deformed wings and 1 or 2 caterpillars died

[@memelord4372]

Beautiful thanks for sharing that :)

[@BartCoppens]

Thanks! How come this video is suddenly gaining views, I wonder!? :P

[@crazeeborg]

I love how some moths present their eye spots as a defensive posture. Moths are beautiful creatures. The Luna moth is adorable. Thanks for another awesome video. You are doing a great job increasing the popularity of moths.

[@carolweidig4689]

beautiful...and lovely to look at and another great video...

[@oogalook]

Gorgeous. Thanks for putting this up.

[@MissWillowArtistry]

I like this. I raise moths as well, and tried to order cecropia but the breeder did not have enough at the time of shipping. Maybe soon. I appreciate you showing them with the house open and that they are too lazy or in that matter, happy to try to escape. It is very rewarding to have a creature friend that does not desire anything but what it has merrily. Great moth hobby, it is not weird. Sure there's frowny faces at times, but those people sadly cannot understand this kind of beauty.

I love your channel! I've been fascinated with moths since I was a little girl. We had Cecropia moths come to our yard one year, and they were gorgeous. But it was heartbreaking to see them dying. Such gentle, beautiful beings.

[@johnstonlildb8157]

My God mother was the moth and butterfly expert. Literally WROTE the book on them Joan E. Heitzman Her husband Was Richard Heitzman But if she were still alive... she would of told Your pronunciation of polyphemus moth was superb 🤗

I have a question! Right now I have some Polyphemus moths that have just mated and laid eggs. I read that the caterpillars eat oak leaves only, however I live in Michigan , USA where the leaves are not yet on the trees. What should I do about this?

Wish I wasn't so afraid to handle insects, I'm always so worried about damaging them that I've developed an irrational and frustrating phobia, but they are lovely, I have a little butterfly raising kit from when I was a kid and am thinking about trying butterflies again as a sort of "exposure therapy". Maybe I'll try moths to.
