Seeing What I Can Find Outside!!! Part 6

[@Dan-oj4iq]

My life would have been better if I met this guy when I was a kid. All the fear that I experienced with stinging and biting insects I would have avoided.

[@Michael-cb3uw]

Stop stinging and biting the insects you animal

[@nickwhite2569]

I love that you give so much detail on the more common insects and bugs! I really enjoy learning about the critters that we see on a regular basis but dont know much about. There are plenty of youtube channels talking about the "scariest" insects to get views, but there are very few that truly educate you on the things we're actually likely to encounter! You and Travis McEnery are my go-to entomology channels! Keep up the great work. You're a true gem.

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! I’m very pleased to hear that you appreciate the time and effort that I put into my videos to educate and showcase to the world about arthropods! It truly means a lot! 😄

I've been rearing monarchs and black swallowtails this year. It's so fun watching them grow. I have had so many monarchs and not enough milk weed. Im going to try to grow some inside over the winter. I also caught a black widow the other day and made a little home for her. Next year, I really want to get some luna moth eggs and raise them. I really have a fascination with insects. It's amazing what you can find around you when you are looking.

[@kelvinwiley]

That’s awesome! Insects are so fun to raise and care for as pets! 😄

[@rufusthehunalprophet6648]

I really want to hold all the cool bugs in my yard, but I'm always scared that they'll mistake me for a yummy plant and use their rostrums on me

[@tamigordon9062]

I love bugs and insects but they’re so scary to me. Thank you for sharing your findings and happy anniversary 🎉

[@kelvinwiley]

No problem, and thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 😄

[@AT-27182]

Happy Anniversary ! And thanks for your lessons !

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it! And no problem! 😄

[@AlfonseGambino]

11:30. Wow! What a beautiful yard with all the plants and trees. It's almost like you own your own little ecosystem. When I see yards like this it just reminds me like I'm walking inside a giant terrarium.

[@TheVaporater]

Congrats my man!! I pray you get to make a 50 year anniversary video in this same garden!!!

[@ISplimeI]

Congrats on the anniversary!! Hope you're doing well and will continue to prosper through this winter. :)

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! That truly means a lot to me! I appreciate your kind words! 😊

[@AlfonseGambino]

I'm horrible when it comes to the scientific names of animals. 😆

[@jrex427]

Keep doing what your doing, Kelvin. I have always had a fascination with insects since a child and I enjoy your content. Happy anniversary, btw 🎉

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! That’s great to hear! Always keep ahold of that fascination! And I appreciate that a whole lot! 😊

[@ToolJam513]

I'm just adding a comment to help support the channel. Keep up the good work Kelvin! 😉

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much man! I greatly appreciate that a lot! 🙏🏾

[@AlfonseGambino]

It mind sound corny but I'm so happy I found this channel. If I could toss anything in my bucket list it would be to hang with a couple of my favorite bug guys. Lol😂 I'm such a nerd but idc. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Wiley. Keep your eyes on Christ always and he will direct your path. I don't know you but I truly love you my brother. Thank you for all you do. Make sure you have as many little Kevin's as possible 😆 This world could use 50 million more people like you.

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much man! Glad to hear that you really enjoy my content and that you’re also a fellow bug nerd! The world needs more of those lol! And I also appreciate you congratulating my wedding anniversary! God bless you brother! 🤙🏾

[@joemcgonagle7177]

Love the channel!! Congrats on the anniversary

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot! 😊

[@nataliet8149]

What I love about Caterpie (the pokemon) is that not only is it basically identical to an actual spicebush swallowtail cater but they included the osmeteria in its design ❤ the original creator was an insect lover

[@kelvinwiley]

Dang! I should’ve brought up Caterpie in this video and explained that! 😭 I was obsessed with Pokémon growing up! 😄

[@nataliet8149]

@kelvinwiley what about an idea for a video where you show the rral life insect based off the pokemon? I did a lesson plan for my graduate class based on this :)

[@kelvinwiley]

That’s actually a pretty cool video idea! Thank you so much! I might actually do something like that in the future! 😄

[@6v6IsForCaveDwellers]

@@kelvinwileyI’ll be looking forward to seeing that video if you so happen to make it👀

[@brianmills5302]

What's up, my brother!!! Another outstanding video, congrats on the nuptials, hope you're happy forever!! Love the channel as always, my friend, good to see a new vid!! Hope all is well with you and yours, my brother. Peace

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much brother! I really appreciate it! 1 year went by so incredibly fast! But glad you always appreciate and enjoy my videos! It really means a lot! Hope you’re doing well man! 😄

[@brianmills5302]

@@kelvinwiley Hey brother, forgot to ask, seen any Joro spiders yet? That's gonna be interesting, people are gonna FREAK when they start seeing them in Jersey!!😂😂😂

[@kelvinwiley]

I haven’t yet unfortunately! I want to see one so badly! They have such a cool body coloration and are quite an impressive size for a spider! It’s very intriguing to me lol 😄

[@brianmills5302]

@@kelvinwiley Yep, should be interesting, people who don't even mind spiders are gonna be a little iffy with that one!😱😂 Ttys, brother. Peace

[@corndoglovers10]

I have those black swallowtail butterflies all in my backyard and I found out about the defensive juice the hard way when I picked it up

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

Congrats! Happy anniversary! My husband and I just celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary July 3rd...and as of July 30th, we've been together 19 years. Lord help me 😂 that's half my life 😩

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot! And congrats on celebrating you and your husband’s 14th wedding anniversary as well! 😄

[@bell1337]

Your videos are the best. I wanna go outside now and see what I can find

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! Happy my videos inspire you to go out and explore! 😄

[@Armenianantifury]

Next to the red bugs, there was a jumping spider and it jumped on your hand!

[@hannahkramer8248]

I just saw your video here. This is awesome!! Is your wife into this as well? Definitely would love a "Ms Rachel" version of your information. You are incredibly entertaining & informative to adults, but just a thought she might be into and could also sell your artwork on her thing. Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but it would be so cool for kids. Hope yall succeed in everything you do!

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! My wife enjoys insects too, but not nearly on the same level as I do lol! 😅 But yes, that would be a pretty cool idea! Thank you so much again! 😊

[@clappingc417]

Can u give any tips to catch cool critters like these? Asking cause I need insects to pin for entomology , Ty ❤️

[@kelvinwiley]

I personally would just try to go outside and take advantage of the warm weather whenever you can and explore wooded areas, gardens, ponds, swamps, and open grassy fields! That’s honestly how I find everything that I show in my videos! 😄

[@O5-council235]

This morning I had a mini heart attack when I accidentally rubbed my hand on a puss moth caterpillar lol.

[@kelvinwiley]

😅

[@Armenianantifury]

WOOW!

[@bigburr]

Caterpillar: dont make me get stinky on yo azz.

[@darrellwilliams7471]

Congrats on your wedding anni

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@cellman1829]

Congrats on your marriage 🎉🎉 wishing you both a long healthy marriage Does your wife enjoy insects as much as you 😅

[@kelvinwiley]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot! 😄 She likes and enjoys insects as well, but not nearly on the same level as I do lol! 😅

[@cloudzack1090]

Kinda funny, didnt even know what a lady bug larvae looked like till around the start of the summer. Literally pokemon evolution my dude

[@kelvinwiley]

It’s crazy how unusual they look like in their larval form! 😅

[@silverfox9004]

reminds me of lizards 😊

[@314costa]

Not assassin bugs, but can they be called Box Elder? Or are Box Elder bugs different?

[@kelvinwiley]

Unfortunately, Boxelder Bugs are different 😅 They belong to an entirely different genus and family than Large Milkweed Bugs. They are however within the same order, Hemiptera 😄

[@mattsweatt85]

You in PA?

[@mhoke63]

I saw on your webpage that you explicitly say you're not an entomologist. You said that you've just observed invertebrates, read a lot of books, researched them, and worked at an insect facility. Well, that's what entomologists do. They observe, read books, do research, and work with invertebrates. The title, "Ph.D" is short for Philiosophae Doctura, or "Doctor of Philosophy". Philosophy, broken down is Philo, or love and sophistry means knowledge, wisdom, or learned. So, a Ph.D in entomology means you live learning about invertebrates. So, I guess that's you etymology lesson about entomology. Anyway, I just wanted to point out that while you don't have the formal degree to legally call yourself an entomologist, you absolutely are from the meaning of the word. Also, have you thought of going through all that schooling to officially get your Ph.D in entomology? I could totally you being an amazing professor. People teaching something that gave a passion for that things make the best teachers. I love your enthusiasm for invertebrates.

[@kelvinwiley]

I completely understand what you mean. I personally put on my website that I’m not an entomologist to avoid being looked at as an expert. I do consider myself knowledgeable in this field of study, but I know how many people can be when it comes to someone showcasing or explaining something of a study that they don’t have a degree. But yes, I do agree that by definition, I’m considered an entomologist. I just didn’t want people to think that I had a qualifying degree in this particular field. But as of now, I am currently in school in hopes of one day getting a degree in entomology! 😄

[@ZennonTheOne]

Discord users and Reddit users are the only people who dislike this video

[@Navileraa]

Idk seems you press so hard when you are manipulating them. Probably you could hold them more softly?

[@kelvinwiley]

I apologize if it appears that way in the video, but I can assure you I’m not applying much pressure to them at all. Just enough so that they’re secure but not hurt 😄

[@JoeGic]

Literally scared the Frass out of him lol 4:20

[@kelvinwiley]

😂

[@atlas16198]

1:55 it was thanks to this that I realised the little larva looking things I've been seeing so many of in my backyard were ladybeetle grubs!

[@kelvinwiley]

I’m happy to hear that my video helped solve the mystery of what you were seeing in your backyard! 😄

[@silverfox9004]

4:15 😂that's a giant turd
