[@zoyzoycornface]

keep doing what youre doing youre really good with your craft

[@PeterSchriemer]

Thank you so very much! :-)

[@EnderAnts]

You need to do more of these videos on other kinds of insects! Looking forward to seeing what else you’ll put out :D

[@PeterSchriemer]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! I'll posting more this spring and summer!

[@sangeetaraikwar4200]

Keep doing what you are doing....you are really good with your craft 😊😊

[@OvPdTurtle]

Thanks! I needed to research Tiger Beetles and Antlions for the March Mammal Madness bracket. This helped quite a bit.

[@PeterSchriemer]

Awesome! I'm really glad my video could help you! Both insects are super cool and interesting! This 10 min link contains both Ant Lions and Tiger Beetles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aarUdICvqbGmndU

This is what Aliens to do humans. 😂Takes us a few days, then release us back to where they found us.

[@suryamanipandey8002]

hahaha this cracked me up

[@kirbywaite1586]

What a beautiful bug.

[@PeterSchriemer]

Thanks! They are awesome!

[@bascxx2]

Awesome fun.

[@suryamanipandey8002]

nice video bro.... but idk how from studying about western ghats i ended up watching tiger beetles racing

[@sangeetaraikwar4200]

3:31 very good....😊

[@dantewomack771]

My favorite beetle is rhino beetle

[@zachariahmagallan5738]

Hey Peter iv been looking for the great plains tiger beetle have you been lucky enough to have held one if them

[@PeterSchriemer]

Hey Zachariah! I have to say that I've not held one yet or spotted one either. Probably because I haven't spent enough time in the Great Plains! Haha I have seen many of the midwest species around the Great Lakes, however. Where do you love to go Tiger Beetle hunting?

[@zachariahmagallan5738]

Right in my home town in my back yard I'm not to good at catching the 6 spotted tiger beetle

[@PeterSchriemer]

@@zachariahmagallan5738 That's awesome! I love the 6 spotted - though sometimes it's harder to find along wooded paths than the sand dwelling species in my video.

Shoutouts to Animal Crossing New Horizons

[@theropod_master5569]

Rather shoutouts to empires of the undergrowth

[@ajunteburns6894]

Nice video bro! Have you done a video on antlions yet?

[@PeterSchriemer]

The answer is - yes! This is a segment from a half hour show that also has an Ant Lion segment! This 10 min link contains both Ant Lions and Tiger Beetles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aarUdICvqbGmndU

[@Musicsage]

tiger beetles even eat small fish when they get the chance. At least some of them

[@nightlock3697]

You didn’t touch on the best part about them! They go blind when they move

[@PeterSchriemer]

You're right - that's a really awesome fact and I'll be sure to include that next time I feature them in a video! Thanks!

[@donttrustme6079]

Empires of the Undergrowth

[@kimmerrou]

Looks like Michigan to me. Which dunes? Thanks!

[@PeterSchriemer]

PJ Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon, Michigan! :-)

[@kimmerrou]

@@PeterSchriemer We're about 25- 30 minutes away! I knew it was Michigan ☺.

[@PeterSchriemer]

@@kimmerrou That's awesome! I'm in Ann Arbor - so I'm not far away either! I love visiting Lake Michigan as often as possible. :-)

[@jayceallen6530]

It’s insane that tiger bettles are so fast the have to stop

[@tonnierose8494]

I like you really how to find those things

[@PeterSchriemer]

Thank you! It's fun to search for them and it's fun to share with other people!

[@HaniHashiya]

Who's here because of animal crossing? 😂

[@supernaturalreports2293]

Are they eatables?

[@rajbharathshunmugavelu3315]

Carlos Amecos fix

[@PeterSchriemer]

Haha I'm sure they could be - but I wouldn't recommend it!

[@majidmask9872]

how old r u?

[@tommyvictorbuch6960]

Nature of God? One word: Evolution.

[@PeterSchriemer]

I know you’re just fishing and you’re entitled to your opinion, but there is so much unpack in a creation vs evolution discussion. Animals do show micro evolution within each of their kinds (this is documented, observed, and proven - like Darwin’s finches), but no animal has the ability to leap from one animal kind to another animal kind (this has not been documented, observed, or proven). Real science takes an honest look at the evidence or lack thereof.

[@ajunteburns6894]

Ant lion versus tiger beetle!?

[@PeterSchriemer]

That would be interesting to see! Tiger Beetles tend to be pretty big in comparison to Ant Lions, so I think they'd win.

[@aussieharyono2296]

Very good quality video

[@PeterSchriemer]

Thank you very much!

[@myvlog5035]

The design on their back kind of looks like a tiger face

[@PeterSchriemer]

I agree! Their tiger stripes are really cool and each species have different patterns!

[@ajunteburns6894]

Is there a particular reason why you name this the nature of God? I think it's pretty cool! I assume you are a creationist?

[@PeterSchriemer]

Yes, the name does reference that this particular series is faith-based. I've produced nature programs in both the secular and Christian markets. In my secular nature programs, I don't talk about my faith or the creation vs evolution discussion - but in The Nature of God, I clearly share my beliefs as a Christian and a creationist.

[@ajunteburns6894]

@@PeterSchriemer, As am I. Keep up the good work. We need more young Christians and creationist in this new millennia.

[@PeterSchriemer]

@@ajunteburns6894 Awesome! Thank you so much! Yes, I agree and keep up the good work yourself! :-)

[@tonnierose8494]

are you new

[@PeterSchriemer]

I've been doing this for a while actually. I have nature videos going back a number of years.

[@mathewbrust398]

It is always best to ask permission before using other people's photos in your videos. It is a decent video though.

[@PeterSchriemer]

Matthew - I agree. Any photos I was involved in acquiring, I made sure permission was given. I always do that, because I want people to get the credit they deserve. Are you suggesting that an image was used without permission by the production company (ColdWater Media) who was in charge of the production?

[@mathewbrust398]

I am referring to three of my own photos on the video. I was not asked permission that I remember. Please double check though, as I may have forgotten. However, I did not seen any photo credits.

[@PeterSchriemer]

Hey Matthew! Now that my mind has been thinking on this, I do believe I communicated with you on these photos. The production was in 2010, so it was a while ago. I double checked the credits on the video (this is just a clip) and you are included. I would have been the one to make sure names were included, so I'm sure we interacted on this back then. Sorry for any confusion!

[@mathewbrust398]

That likely explains it. Thanks, and I apologize for the confusion. Nice video!

[@PeterSchriemer]

You're very welcome! Thank you for being part of it!

[@sangeetaraikwar4200]

Bhai thoda to rehem kar le apne upar 🤣😂
