[@spoldozer9372]

Regarding Moths, the reason that they seem so suicidal is actually because of human interference. They instinctively use light sources as navigation sources, typically in crepuscular times (Dawn and Dusk), when the sun is not moving as much. However, they can't tell the difference between the sun and a lamppost or fire, so they just circle around those light sources because they are confused by them.

[@zaconmacon565]

That doesn't necessarily seem like human intervention since most humans probably don't even know that. It's a happy little accident

[@williamhardee8863]

I think he’s just really good at picking clips. I never understand why some people consider nature something boring. If you discovered an alien you would wanna know everything about that alien, but the thing is we’re technically aliens as well to something, and there are so many animals with traits you never hear about casually, so learning about animals can still have that same sense of discovery imo.

[@theregularterrarian3933]

I like how humans shit on most bug builds purely because of the massive size difference and the fact that they can wield many insect killing things, makes being a human very fun

[@elijahmancilla4413]

Yea but without the proper materials (for example a gun) they can be easily mauled by builds like bears, tigers (or most big cats), and herbivores (hippos and rhinos)

[@thepioneer1525]

​​@@elijahmancilla4413honestly firearms should be nerfed, they are usually pretty easy to get, while also being extremely powerful. I think they should bring back the old version of firearms where they were less accurate, less powerful, and slower to use, or even remove them entirely. In the current version firearms are just too overpowered. The only thing that can compete with a firearm user is another firearm user.

[@blurb9319]

@@thepioneer1525some stealth builds can be decent counters, but the sheer dps output human builds can reach when properly equipped is ridiculous

[@seek.l2215]

@@thepioneer1525they aren’t easy to get by any means. Humans just invested tons of resources into weapons research and manufacturing. Took humans hundreds of thousands of years before firearms came out. It’s just a very late game item so I feel as if it’s balanced

[@thesphealking6442]

Fun fact, mosquitoes are true flies meaning they are on the list with the other flies. Also did you know that if you drop a beetle from a ten story building it won’t get injured.

[@Celestia282]

That has nothing to do with a beetle's defenses and is entirely just physics. It's the old saying: the bigger you are, the harder you fall. All insects are so small that they hit the ground with almost no force. Even other small animals have this ability. Anything squirrel size and below takes no fall damage, even at terminal velocity.

[@faintduch6630]

@@Celestia282 to be fair, the dev team had to give the smaller players at least something that wouldn't kill them... Either that or it's an exploit of the physics engine allowing them to negate fall damage but the point still stands. Their average game span is already short enough, minus the outliers obviously

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Almost every bug will survive a fall from a 10 story fall

Fun fact! the mantis actually dont commonly eat their mates when breeding! that only happens under extreme stress such as a human recording or viewing them in the act

[@joeybesignano9203]

I had a male and female housed together and they mated mulitple times without her eating him. But I think I forgot to feed for a day and I came back to 1 and half mantises left.

[@SolarBlyze]

@@joeybesignano9203 yeah, if a female is pregnant and can't find any other food sources she will consume the male in order to ensure she has the nutrients to provide for her eggs

[@stuckincollege1778]

While you are correct that ants, bees and wasps are picked due to their high popularity, it's also what's making them so strong. Since they gain the passive ability "Colonizing", they gain a multiplier to their attack, intelligence and speed when near a team group, catering to new players, gaining more popularity and therefore increasing the efficiency and power of this types of insects. This however brings the major drawback of the passive status "Loneliness", which causes the insects speed, attack, defense, and intelligence to be halved and locks all abilities and attacks when separated from a team group. This causes a easy to learn insect for new players, but causes other insects to be pushed out of the meta, causing the "Extinction" state, permanently deleting all data on that insect, making the meta more and more skewered to the favor of ants, bees and wasps.

[@DrSuperLuigiSeth1]

Is it popularity or population? Not trying to correct you, just curious.

[@stuckincollege1778]

@@DrSuperLuigiSeth1 Popularity

[@ClussyPomni]

True

[@MegaGaming11]

It doesn't delete all data on the insect, as records of it existing will still exist, but it does mean that no new players can arise (as far as the game delvers are concerned)

[@faintduch6630]

I thought "colony" players were playing the RTS integration and expansion, where they're playing as the whole colony instead of a single entity, with their actual player character being the queen ant, wasp, bee, ect. I mean I've seen at least 100 new colonies around my job mini game location... One of which I've been rather shamelessly using as an inventory cleaner for my leftovers or bits of lunch that I don't need or can't save for later, giving them a rather unfair advantage over the other colonies around the area thanks to the constant supply drops but my point still stands, surely every single ant can't be an individual player right? Oh God I'm not gonna be reported for allowing a favoritive exploit for players of other factions am I?

[@DaFlyingSeal]

20:06 Fun Fact: Tranpinch and his evo line are actually based on antlion larva and adult antlions

[@thesphealking6442]

You should watch the ant war series by kurzgesagt. It’s very interesting and will change your entire view on them. They are definitely one of the most interesting and intelligent species.

One of the reasons they’re my favorite bug

[@lennartstockl5826]

"I think that beetles are the most aesthetically pleasing bugs as well." Butterflies: Am I a joke to you?

[@Ryodraco]

For what it's worth, female mantis eating the male during or after mating is not nearly as common as some people think. Mantis are cannibalistic in general, males just tend to be smaller than females and if the female rejects or does not recognize his advances, she's liable to just eat him the same way he would if he had the opportunity and was not trying to mate. If they actually do mate then he has a good chance of surviving. Early studies are mantis breeding were flawed because the researchers did not give captive mantises the opportunities for courtship and escape that they have in the wild.

[@demascus3vods]

I love the way you react to these like actual video game meta and I wish you'd do more

[@hondaaccord1399]

Us Mantis mains may not be top tear, but the thrill of being able to take down bird players is a reward in it of itself.

[@sharebear2103]

same bro i agree

[@aprilhippie8752]

0:52 Apparently the reason why a female mantis eats a male mantis during the mating process is because it provides them with the nutrients it needs for her and her offspring to survive. Especially in the case were the female has not had a sufficient meal but not all pray mantises eat their mates.

[@joeybesignano9203]

Praying mantises rarely eat their partner in the wild breeding in captivity adds alot of stressors that contribute to them commiting canabilisim.

[@pandoraspixel3367]

The most ridiculous solo build here has to be the Beetles but damn insect colonies are just built different, they go for quantity over quality

[@cadman2300]

3:46 To answer your question, those are not irises, they're pseudo pupils. They're an optical illusion caused by looking directly down the lenses in a compound eye that are closest to you. It is pretty interesting in that it gives the impression that the animal is staring right back at you. 🐛🦋🐜🐝🪲🐞🦗🪳🦟🪰

[@kurotsuchiiwa3627]

tier zoo actually said that most insects are actually pretty high tier. they might be small but they are one of the few classes that actually work against humans like bees and wasps. they are also all pretty good for gameplay as they dont really have many weakneses

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

I can't believe you were right on the money with the Trapinch guess, because that group, specifically the antlion, is the Flygon line's basis.

[@ArkhamHedler]

The animal that caught the frog is called toe-biters (other names include: giant water bugs, Indian toe-biters, electric-light bugs, alligator ticks, or alligator fleas) is a Belostomatidae, and yes it has a very strong bite and a toxin that can kill certain animals, even in humans its bite is considered one of the most painful in the world, it is so painful that many people are paralyzed by the pain! This insect is very common in South America.

[@mocahbutterfly]

Mosquitos are a part of the fly faction. One was shown attacking a flamingo.

[@DaichiOkami]

18:02 The developers make the enviroment and world and natural events and so. It's the players who custom tailor their living beings into whatever they want. And that's how species are made. Each species is a faction and each of them were made by players experimenting and evolving

[@thatonetreeobsessedwithyt]

I heard something about the flys brain sees less frames per second in life than humans, so everything moves slower for them. No wonder they are so hard to hit

[@chaotixthefox]

They perceive time slower, which means faster reaction. It also means if you move slow enough they won't perceive your movement.

[@melvacaoyona-ollosa278]

Um what you mean is that flies see things in slow motion.

[@bluerodan561]

The dragonfly downplay by this man when we get to the lacewings (or just comparing them to flies) is insane, like brooooooo

[@keewalks5310]

If he payed attention he would have seen that mosquitos are true flys

[@codename618]

Since I know someone's going to be confused regarding bug terminology, I wanted to clarify some things. "Bug" and "Insect" do not mean the same thing. An insect is a type of bug. Bugs can include insects, arachnids, etc. Insects and arachnids are otherwise not related. Likewise, "Arachnid" and "Spider" are not the same thing. All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. Scorpions are also an example of arachnids. Also, for those questioning what the deal is with hornets being absent, they weren't. Hornets are a type of wasp.

[@nijinoshita3301]

[@Banchoking]

It's important to note that bees are only really struggling in places they aren't native to.

[@Rubywing4]

I am surprised fleas did not get a mention in the tier list. The flea build has an insanely high defense stat that not even a human build can break it with the Squeeze attack, I tried it myself, and my father even tried equipping a hammer for extra damage for invading players in my family's old base before I started playing, but the hammer proved ineffective against the fleas' strong armor. Also I got really bad rng recently and got afflicted by a cold debuff right after the Christmas event, and even though I have consumed several stacks of Hot Tea for healing, its effect persists still now. It must not have many layers left, I have quests to do for my guild in 3 days to level up my Chemistry skill so I can advance to the higher level daily quests with better rewards, at least once I find quest givers willing to hire me. Such bad rng to get the cold debuff just as the new expansion begins, I hate this game sometimes.

[@chriswhinery925]

If you haven't yet you should watch his full video on eusociality to see the real reason why bees and ants are rated so highly. Eusociality completely breaks the game by changing the quest objectives for most of the players. Most factions have mating as their highest value quest objective because that what keeps the faction alive. But by modifying the way the genetic math works, eusociality makes it so that most players of those factions have keeping the queen alive as their highest quest objective, so they're willing to unquestioningly lay down their own lives in pursuit of that objective.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Ants dont just capture prisoners, some of them capture bugs like aphids and keep them around to milk them, or transport mosses and fungi to grow farms.

Mantids eating the male is actually not as common as it's made out to be. It only happens when under extreme stress or a shortage of other food sources. A female will consume the male for nutrients if she has no other option in order to ensure she can provide for her eggs. A well fed female has no need to consume her partner. Male mantids will sometimes gift the female food before mating with her, it boosts her ability to bear good eggs as well as make sure she's fed so the male doesn't become the menu lol. Even without that though, it's still uncommon for the females to actually eat the males. Mantis females get a bad rep but really they're amazing creatures. Anyone who's raised mantids will tell you that females are far more handable than males
