Deer Splashing in Shallow Pools
I discovered that Whitetail Deer were responsible for muddy water in these small pools. I don’t know how to explain their behavior. This doesn’t happen every day, but it’s not uncommon to see it occur a couple of times each month.

Aquatic Beetle Larva Shoots Mud Ball at Spider
Переглядів 1077 років тому
A small wolf spider stalked the mud flats. It was particularly interested in the movement of what appeared to be a small insect near the edge of the pool. What wasn’t immediately obvious was the fact that the small insect was held in the jaws of a much larger aquatic beetle larva. The spider finally attempts an attack on the small insect, but is driven back when the beetle larva begins to thras...

Edwards' Hairstreak Larvae Night Feeding
Переглядів 537 років тому
Older Edwards’ Hairstreak butterfly larvae feed only at night and spend the day at the base of Blackjack Oaks, hidden in cavities constructed by Allegheny Mound Ants. Near sundown, the larvae leave their shelter and begin climbing the tree. Each larva is accompanied by its own cadre of ants. From the time they hatch until emergence as adults, the Edwards’ Hairstreaks are accompanied by ants. Th...

Snapping Turtle Laying Eggs in Ant Hill
Goodjob
Do you sell them?
No. I just occasionally find them in mosquito pools.
@@stevewillson1170 would you be interested in selling eggs or larvae?
the perfect trilogy doesn't exi-
why do the turkeys kind of look like they are kissing lol
Je suis très intéressé car c'est mon domaine .
Wow, that one is for real. I see quick ceremonial type fights fairly often, but when they start using the talons and "leg dagger" that is when the gloves are off. Cool footage
I saw the same thing here once, very nice video 🙏
They look similar to flying ants
Thanks for the video... never saw a turkey fight. Interesting!
It’s a horny world. Males of all kind wanna get laid.
I think they are just dancing

Where is the female wasp and the male wasp and look at these flies
The female wasp is the one that brings in mud balls to use in building the nest. The male tries to stay near the nest entrance and keep the fly away.
I have an opossum in my trap
The flies larvae eats the wasp larvae. Knowing this, I'm not sure why the wasps let the fly hang around.
The male wasp tries to keep the fly away, but the fly takes advantage of one careless moment.
@@stevewillson1170I guess it is lucky the female wasp wasn’t there. If it was, the fly would’ve faced its stinger or jaws
Is it only the males that make the quacking sound?
Males are the only ones that call. They generally arrive first at the breeding pool and their calls alert the females to the location of suitable breeding habitat and the availability of males.
Does this fly want to lay an egg on the wasp?
The fly is laying eggs in the egg chamber where the wasp is storing spiders to serve as food for the wasp larva. The fly larvae will feed on the spiders, leaving the wasp larva to starve. More info can be found here bluejaybarrens.blogspot.com/2018/08/pipe-organ-mud-dauber-wasp-and.html
Does this wasp sting
Toqhy___ Toqhy___ yes but they are very docile
@@Toqhyfemales do, the males don’t
I found a nest you can hear them building it's wild
I would have demanded to see permits
The fly.. huh..
If these guys can be used for the vector control methods which is of environmental friendly then it would be good
There has been some research done in this area, but I don't know if any successful applications have been made.
Where can I get some 😂
Hello! I am contacting you from a television production company in London called Arrow Media. We are currently making the fifth series of a popular National Geographic show called Animal Fight Night - within which we explore the extraordinary behaviours, anatomy and strategies used during spectacular fights in the animal kingdom. I would be interested in chatting to you about licensing this footage. Please get in touch at rhea.brooks@arrowmedia.com Thanks! :-) Rhea
thinking i could create something like this, even in my small space of a yard?
butterfly pudding pretty neat! learned something cool today!! Thanks Steve Willson! <3
where is peta?
Terrible mistake
Not might not eat the egg, but after it hatches, it's in big trouble lol.
At all other times, Toms will fly, eat, and hobnob with one another... But when the hens are hot, all bets are off, and there are NO "friendlies"! Males have been know to kill one another for control over the flock!
Yeah, those eggs are gonna be eaten.
Ants can't eat a eggs or they do eat eggs I don't know
Lol funny they're just like people when they see a fight.
Very cool to see, nice footage!
Man i just was watching a music video from lindsey stirling... how the hell did i get here...
Good video. It's funny how the others follow the fighters around and watch as close as they can.
Cee M funny lol
