Cool Bug Facts! The Camel Spider, also known as the Sun Spider, is a "spider" that actively seeks shade because of their hot and arid habitat. This often causes people to think that camel spiders chase after people--in reality, they're chasing after the person-shaped shadow, but people run away from the spider, causing the camel spider to chase after the shadow.
I have a horrible phobia of insects but those little guys with their little party hats seem nice, I’d let them crawl under my skin like the scarabs from the mummy.
As an entomology student this is 100% accurate and you cannot stop the bugs. (also pretty confident that the "What is this bug? Send help." is a ground beetle, aka a beetle from the family Carabidae)
My favorite part of this video is the image of a horde of bugs perpetually chanting "BUGS! BUGS! BUGS!" because they're just so friggin' happy to be bugs.
This went from a seratonin boost, mind crippling anxiety, to bangin bug disco bash... ...i may be a little TOO sleep deprived to process the sheer emotional whiplash but oh well. Bug 🐜

0:20 is a Strawberry Seed Beetle!! Cool bug fact: They’re often released into crop fields to kill off the bugs that can actually damage the crops (ie. Aphids). The same is done with things like lacewing larvae and ladybugs! These beetles are also often used in scientific testing on the immune systems of beetles, and are the reason that we know beetles are sensitive to oils like motor oil :D
I was about to give you smack for calling bugs ‘things’ and not ‘friends’, but I immediately got concerned about the fact that humans tested motor oil on these little guys.
LMFAOOO, yeah I’m also deeply concerned 😨. I love bugs, I’m studying to be an Entomologist, but… I still can’t help but worry for the little guys!! I mean, of course they don’t like engine oil. I don’t think any bug would like it if you stuck it in engine oil.
@@vaehtay I love bugs as well! I even want to become an entomologist one day too. It’s sad that hurting them in one way or another is part of the job… There might be one bug out there that enjoys the feeling and smell of *death!* I just hope the least amount of friends get sacrificed in the way-
I love that at the beginning the vibe is, "Oh! Look at this little guy! He's so cute!" and then for those, like me, with phobia's of insects, the energy gets ever so slowly more terrifying, 10/10
I could envision this as a song that Neil Cicirega would come up with, a jovial and friendly start followed by "you're going to die" once you get to the end Whether or not that was the aim, good job
Cool bug fact! While bees are known for their one-time sting, the way they deal with home-intruding wasps is quite unique. They group up, swarm the wasp from all sides, and rapidly flap their tiny wings, whilst not letting any space for air. Essentially, the bees are cooking the wasp alive by raising their body temperature.
I am obsessed with bees, particularly bumble bees. I have lots of bee facts! Here are some bee facts! :D Firstly about the one-time sting; this is particular to honey bees. The main groups of bee are honey bees, bumble bees, solitary bees, and stingless bees. Honey bees uniquely have barbed stingers, which is why they tend to die after, because very sadly, they rip themselves apart trying to get away. Bumble bees don't have this problem and neither do solitary bees, but they're actually generally less likely to sting (honey bees are just more combat-willing in general). Stingless bees are supposed to hurt worse than the others because they just bite instead of sting! Honey bees and bumble bees are so fascinatingly opposite in the way they set up things! They are the two types of bee who live in colonies and have castes (female queens, female workers, and male drones). Bee males don't have stingers at all, by the way. That's because stingers originally evolved from what used to be egg-laying tubes! I'm not sure how that evolution worked since they still do lay eggs, so they didn't lose that ability. Odd huh. Honey bees are big advance-planners and build an entire hive before using any of it. That's how they get the tesselating hexagons. Their queens don't do worker tasks at all. In contrast, bumble bees build nests adding pieces on as-and-when-needed. Little spherical wax pods just plonked on wherever there's space in no specific pattern. Bumble queens will do worker tasks until they produce enough workers to stop doing so. Honey bee colonies are enormous - thousands or potentially tens-of-thousands of individuals. That makes enough body heat for them to survive together over winter. Bumbles have much smaller colonies and much shorter lifespans - only a few hundred individuals. They all die out in the winter, save for the newly hatched queens, who dig holes to hibernate in solitude and wake up next year to start a new nest. Queens are able to do this because they're bigger, because they're fed more when they're being raised. Bumbles always like to take over old nests abandoned by other animals. Mouse nests and bird houses are favourites of theirs! Recycling bees. :D People tend to think of honey bees while drawing bumble bees. Honey bees are the only domesticated ones, the others are wild. Bumble bees are the big fuzzy ones that look fat (but actually are just extra-fuzzy). They're that way from being cold weather specialists. They still don't like the cold or especially the wet, but can tolerate it a bit more. This is because they originally evolved alongside the formation of the Himalayan mountains. Finding themselves "suddenly" (in evolutionary terms) at higher altitudes, they developed extra fuzz to deal with it. :) so cute Solitary bees are a very varied bunch with huge variation of looks! They don't live in colonies, only tiny family groups. Sometimes it can look like they live in colonies, but in truth it's only down to many of them finding a good spot - they don't interact and support each other like honeys or bumbles. They're the ones you get if you make a "bee hotel" in a garden. The myth that bees shouldn't be able to fly according to physics, is absolute nonsense. Some guy wrote the calculation on a napkin while drinking, and forgot to consider that bees aren't the same size as blimps. Obviously, scale makes a difference to physics. Bees are easily able to fly according to physics. They have two pairs of wings, that flap in a figure-8 pattern, actually creating little vortexes of air beneath them, much like how a helicopter flies. Only honey bees swarm. There's a species of bumble bee with unusual mating habits called the "tree bee" that can be mistaken for swarming, but it's not swarming, it's drones dancing in front of a nest to attract a queen (who then has a wrestling match to determine if the drone is strong enough!). Bumble bees spend a lot of time crawling, because flying uses up a lot of energy (especially when weighed down by pollen-filled pollen baskets on their knees, which is where the term "bee's knees" comes from). They need to constantly feed on nectar to replenish this energy. The amazing little darlings risk their lives each time they go on a journey which can span huge distances. Running out of energy will result in death. :( Bumble bees can pollenate a lot of crops that just can't be pollenated by anything else. Flowers and bumble bees co-evolved in a strange way, where flowers made their pollen less accessible, requiring very long tongues (proboscis) to reach or even being unreachable save for a special technique unique to bumbles - buzz pollenation. With this, they lock their six little legs onto a flower and buzz at a higher pitch, making the pollen shake out of the flower. The biggest bee is the "flying bulldog", or Wallace's giant bee. It was quite recently rediscovered in the rainforest after being previously supposed lost. It's a very ancient bee that has enormous mandibles and looks more like a beetle than a bee! It's 4cm long. The biggest bumble bee, also 4cm long (but slimmer), is the "flying mouse", bombus dahlbomii, a bright orange bee native to South America. Bees evolved from wasps. They're basically wasps that started enjoying pollen more than meat and changed diet, diverging due to that. Bees are vegan wasps, ha. :P But yes, wasps have been around a lot longer than even bees (and both predate dinosaurs). They actually found the most sweet and sad fossil of a very early bee encased in amber (which is basically the only way we get bee fossils). It's a tiny little thing that looks very wasp-like but is clutching a grain of pollen. aww! :( Insects are the least endangered group of animals, however bees are the most endangered type of insect. They need our help a lot. Honey bees are mostly doing okay due to commercial viability; it's the wild bees that need assistance the most. Bumbles and solitary bees both need help. I don't know much about stingless bees (only what I've said), so I can't be sure about them. I live in England. The UK lost the vast majority of its wildflower fields over an alarmingly short time, and it's a desperate situation for a lot of insects including bees. They now, despite being wild animals, depend mostly on peoples' gardens and urban green spaces! But they are still not domesticated and do not do well kept inside. If you find one in trouble, the best thing to give it (very gently) is a 50% mixture of sugar and water. Honey can help, but is usually highly processed for humans, and often can be from the wrong type of bee with different parasite and disease resistances and such, so it's not as good a choice as the sugar-water. However, bumble bees will take a lot of rests during their adventures, so don't one mightn't necessarily be in trouble, it could just be resting. Finally, if you see a bumble bee "wave" at you, it can seem super cute, but it's actually a warning that the bee is scared and wants you to back off. Bumbles don't like conflict and so they give this warning rather than going directly for the sting. I love 'em to bits, if you couldn't tell. Ha. :D
@@tatir7081 Europian Honeybees that can't sting something that pissed them off will use their jaws and paralytic venom (yes, bee bites also have poison) to lock down and dissasemble the attacker.
I once had an infestation of German roaches. One crawled in my ear. It was the most excruciatingly torturous thing I have ever endured. I could feel and loudly hear it scratch on my eardrum and I was losing my mind. I have been reminded of that.
@@idi0tsanswich379 I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. Assuming it isn’t, I’m obliged to tell you that German Roaches are an invasive species of roaches from Ethiopia. They infested Europe, which was when they were formally named. (The same is true for the American roach, apparently.) They are the roaches that most commonly infest buildings.
I've seen and experienced German roaches before, but not like this. I've been terrified of the event for a while, especially after learning they can fly
Yowch. Did it hurt, or was it just terrifying? (I did once have pinworms, and it's a surprisingly visceral revulsion to know there is something foreign inside you.)
I had a pet bug once. His name was Willie. Willie lived on my window for a while. Willie’s family lives there now. RIP Willie, your legacy lives on through an unknown number of generations.
I felt like the tone of the lyrics of when he sings seems really familiar but I can’t put my finger on it! Nether the less it’s really catchy and I’ve been listening to it on loop until I get tired of this song for a few weeks and then immediately come back lmao. The song is honestly terrifying yet wholesome and it seems like this happens offen
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. this is how ocd feels sometimes. i will think of this song next time i get intrusive thoughts of bugs everywhere - i’ll just imagine them with party hats, and i think that will help at least a little :)
i once had a termite infestation inside of my computer without knowing until i started to clean it up one day. another termite infestation under a cardboard box, under the bed, then suddenly when i just walked from the bed. my floor gave up and creating a hole and felt an entire colony below me. yes a fuck ton of termites.
I need like more of these 😭 my daughter has been singing and replaying this vid everyday since upload *cries* it’s so catchy I be catching myself “I’m a bug and I’m so very small” Amazing work ♥️♥️♥️🫶🏻😭
Pfft, alright, that was adorable, hilarious and informative. I loved them all in their party hats. It also reminded me that sometimes a random cricket starts living under my bed and chirps at night. I’ll look under the bed and he’s just chilling there.
Cool Bug Fact! OK so from the looks of it the bug at 0:21 looks like a common black ground beetle. these little guys live about 1-4 years and are most active from the months of April through October. Adults and larvae are voracious predators and feed on a wide variety in insect pests such as caterpillars, millipedes, slugs, and snails. Typically, the adults are fast runners and rarely fly. Some species have fused fore-wings and have lost the ability to fly completely!
Amazing song i love the increasing tension part when suddenly change from animation to a camera on the aisle. Also, you for any reason have stickers of the bugs for WhatsApp they will be so cute (one withe the skeleton on the couch will be hilarious)
It is now a running joke that every random object in our house belongs to the bugs. My three-year-old loves this song and listens to it on repeat all day 😂 She loves the bug rave at the end and starts dancing.
Not only is this another incredible, talented piece of art from Piemations, but it hearkens back to the days of random 2015 UA-cam videos, mostly singing a random song about some completely nonsensical topic. Top quality 👍
@@balab1236 Huh, never knew this, that's really interesting, always assumed they were some kind of bug. Just looked it up and unsurprisingly it's the same for slugs (the ones without the shell), they're super common here so I was wondering. Thanks for the info lol.
@@SamSam-nc1nd But you kind of implied it with your comment, even if you didn't mean to. To be honest I thought they were a bug too until the comment so it's no big deal.
Well, this gave me horrible flashbacks to dealing with bed bugs last year! Also, I highly recommend checking out "The Blackfly" from the NFB (classic Canadian animation about working in remote northern Ontario).
Hell yeah Edit: dude this is metal, hell yeah! Fun fact for ants: They actually use a special sort of acid (in my language called "ant acid"), they don't bite!
Your name suits you well ! It's methanoic acid ! In french, it's also named « acide formique », which could be translated as « ant acid ». Are you perhaps another french dude who learned about this by reading Werber's Empire of Ants ?
@Harold046 nope, I'm a Latvian dude that tries to know as much as possible about bugs Edit: Though i would like to learn french, add another language to the pile
Your ants, perhaps. Here in the US, we've got species _besides_ what we call sugar ants, and they ALL bite. Everything from carpenter ants to fire ants.
Do you know for sure your best friend isn't 10,000 bugs in a fleshcoat?

Europian Honeybees that can't sting something that pissed them off will use their jaws and paralytic venom (yes, bee bites also have poison) to lock down and dissasemble the attacker.
This is top quality education video of the bugs! I already learnt a lot after watching!
Send this to Misty from Pokémon!!

I once had an infestation of German roaches. One crawled in my ear. It was the most excruciatingly torturous thing I have ever endured. I could feel and loudly hear it scratch on my eardrum and I was losing my mind. I have been reminded of that.
😨
Whats his nationality gotta do with anything.....
@@idi0tsanswich379 I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. Assuming it isn’t, I’m obliged to tell you that German Roaches are an invasive species of roaches from Ethiopia. They infested Europe, which was when they were formally named. (The same is true for the American roach, apparently.) They are the roaches that most commonly infest buildings.
I've seen and experienced German roaches before, but not like this. I've been terrified of the event for a while, especially after learning they can fly
Yowch. Did it hurt, or was it just terrifying? (I did once have pinworms, and it's a surprisingly visceral revulsion to know there is something foreign inside you.)
I had a pet bug once. His name was Willie. Willie lived on my window for a while. Willie’s family lives there now. RIP Willie, your legacy lives on through an unknown number of generations.
Aww... Rest in peace Willie. I'm so sorry for your loss. Protect his lineage. ❤

Yup, they love crawling on your face and in your nose then out your mouth when you sleep. It's worse for people who sleep in their boxers.

I felt like the tone of the lyrics of when he sings seems really familiar but I can’t put my finger on it! Nether the less it’s really catchy and I’ve been listening to it on loop until I get tired of this song for a few weeks and then immediately come back lmao.
The song is honestly terrifying yet wholesome and it seems like this happens offen
As a ant keeper myself, I can confirm 1:56 is what happens when my ants escape
surrender
I love how the last cricket's chirp at the end is in key with the song. Don't know if that was done in post production, but it's a very nice touch.
This is the spiritual successor to Insects by Oingo Boingo and I'm all for it.
Oingo! Boingo! Brothaaaaaaaaas!
They bite and sting and suck, they bite and sting and suck suck suck 🗣️🔥
Honestly to me it felt more like a tally hall song
they make me want to DANCE!!
@@Minious1020 wrong oingo different boingo
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. this is how ocd feels sometimes. i will think of this song next time i get intrusive thoughts of bugs everywhere - i’ll just imagine them with party hats, and i think that will help at least a little :)
Fellow OCD-haver here 👋 This is an excellent idea and I’m definitely going to use it!!
love the lemon demon vibes!

i once had a termite infestation inside of my computer without knowing until i started to clean it up one day. another termite infestation under a cardboard box, under the bed, then suddenly when i just walked from the bed. my floor gave up and creating a hole and felt an entire colony below me. yes a fuck ton of termites.
Get Michael Reeves, he'll know how to take care of it ethically.
OOF, you fell into a colony? Ooooof

ikr lol
1:34 love how the bugs even covers some of the watermark lol
There is a 99% chance there is a bug watching this with you right now and you don't even know it
btw, this is why piemations uploads really infrequently. theyre still adapting to their transitions to a bug. i support you, bugs!

Rhyming “in the closet” with “oviposit” had me dying 😂
The song sounds like it came from the late 2000's/early 2010's era of UA-cam and I love it!
Yeah… I wish I was born in late 90’s,early 2000’s or mid 2000s (for this)
cool bug facts! The diving beetle traps air between their wings and body so they can stay underwater for a longer period of time
0:13 isn’t that just a trench?
Makes me wonder what ant war crimes they're committing in the ant trenches 🤔
War. War never changes.
@@leoncaples2947 If my time in the army taught me one thing, it's that war, war never changes
War Trench.
I would assume a trench is a combat structure/fortification, and this "highway" is just there to move faster ?
My friend has simply put become addicteed to this song and is literally listening to it on repeat for hours
I am now scared of their power
0:48 that bug sleeping is so cute omg 😊
Pfft, alright, that was adorable, hilarious and informative. I loved them all in their party hats.
It also reminded me that sometimes a random cricket starts living under my bed and chirps at night. I’ll look under the bed and he’s just chilling there.
He is your conscience.
Can we share him?
Have you heard the saying, don’t let the BED BUGS bite?
@@heydontjudge Yup, we can! He loves singing at night under any bed.
@@Flowerbarrel Thank you for your kindness, stranger. Lol
Cool Bug Fact!
OK so from the looks of it the bug at 0:21 looks like a common black ground beetle. these little guys live about 1-4 years and are most active from the months of April through October. Adults and larvae are voracious predators and feed on a wide variety in insect pests such as caterpillars, millipedes, slugs, and snails. Typically, the adults are fast runners and rarely fly. Some species have fused fore-wings and have lost the ability to fly completely!
it's either a ground beetle or a darkling beetle. they look pretty similar. good call, though!
Pennsylvania Dingy Ground Beetle perhaps?
"And there's nothing you can do"
My flamethrower disagrees with you
Your house belongs to the flames
The bugs always come back
After the charred mess, more bugs will follow....
Amazing song i love the increasing tension part when suddenly change from animation to a camera on the aisle.
Also, you for any reason have stickers of the bugs for WhatsApp they will be so cute (one withe the skeleton on the couch will be hilarious)
Don't worry, little bugs. You can have my body when i go to heaven. I just hope that it doesn't give you a tiny heart attack.
We feed them cheerios when we are here. It is only right to feed them when we are gone as well. One farewell to our bug friends.
Close enough, welcome back Insects by Oingo Boingo
Making a song about bugs is the first step to a Louie Zong collab
Adorable with a sense of underlying horror! 10/10 video tbh
It is now a running joke that every random object in our house belongs to the bugs. My three-year-old loves this song and listens to it on repeat all day 😂
She loves the bug rave at the end and starts dancing.
1:09 ma! The bugs are eating my fish!
1:05 Cheese: *OH GOD!!! HELP!!! I’M BEING CONSU-*
the ending made me pretty ANTsy

i didnt know a song about bugs freaking slaps
alternate ending- the guy pulls out anti bug spray. Bugs- oh fu- end
Cool bug Fact's: This video has given me a newfound appreciation for bugs. Hopefully that will appease them so they'll go a little easy on me.
I rate it 🪳/10

1:43 not my shrek
NOOOOO
this was a vibe.
fellow bugs, we must eat the human!
wow this video's very educational i didn't know what oviposit meant before now i know that there's no escaping it
Not only is this another incredible, talented piece of art from Piemations, but it hearkens back to the days of random 2015 UA-cam videos, mostly singing a random song about some completely nonsensical topic. Top quality 👍
He and BDG really out here doing God's work
0:40 This scene gives me Totoro vibes and I’m 100% here for it
THEY ATE THE WHEEL
As a pest control tech. Yes, this is 100% accurate.
Bugs, unique, small, colorful, and creepy as all can be.

This is amazing. I've watched way too much already. It's addicting. I love it.
I can imagine this playing while the immortal snail chases me
Snails aren't bugs actually, they're mollusks like squids and clams
@@balab1236 Huh, never knew this, that's really interesting, always assumed they were some kind of bug. Just looked it up and unsurprisingly it's the same for slugs (the ones without the shell), they're super common here so I was wondering. Thanks for the info lol.
@@SamSam-nc1nd But you kind of implied it with your comment, even if you didn't mean to. To be honest I thought they were a bug too until the comment so it's no big deal.
Yes, bugs. Exactly what I was waiting for
As someone with a fear of bugs, that segment really captures how i feel whenever i see bugs.
I must have watched this at least 10 times already and it has made its way into my "videos my mental health depends on" playlist
This unironically goes hard
No, we are a bug, comrade
Well, this gave me horrible flashbacks to dealing with bed bugs last year! Also, I highly recommend checking out "The Blackfly" from the NFB (classic Canadian animation about working in remote northern Ontario).
Hell yeah
Edit: dude this is metal, hell yeah!
Fun fact for ants: They actually use a special sort of acid (in my language called "ant acid"), they don't bite!
Your name suits you well !
It's methanoic acid ! In french, it's also named « acide formique », which could be translated as « ant acid ». Are you perhaps another french dude who learned about this by reading Werber's Empire of Ants ?
@Harold046 nope, I'm a Latvian dude that tries to know as much as possible about bugs
Edit: Though i would like to learn french, add another language to the pile
Your ants, perhaps. Here in the US, we've got species _besides_ what we call sugar ants, and they ALL bite. Everything from carpenter ants to fire ants.
@@asialsky I'm pretty sure fire ants don't really bite: they sting. Even then, the acid is what really hurts.
@asialsky oh yeah. I've had a common brown ant walk up to me and just chomp me square on the knee lmao. New World ants bite!
aww, id be honored to be food for these adorable bugs! 🥰
This shit is addicting man
1:33 Didn’t expect to see Oviposition make an appearance in this song
W song, idk why but I really like this, and I want a plush of the ant guy :3
