    Some interesting looking bugs, Donna. Great that their behind glass! 🤣🤣The crayfish was interesting to watch. I think it just forgot the claw belonged to him! Thanks for bringing us along to the "House of Bugs!"

      The crayfish was fascinating to watch and strangely off in a corner by itself. It's a lot of fun to look through and learn about invertebrates.

    Fascinating choices Donna. Years ago I could not have watched this but have since come to appreciate insects and find many fascinating to learn about (after seeing a wasp carrying a cicada away). Thanks for the great views of the well camouflaged mantis and that interesting blue crayfish. A very cool ending with a smile ;) Best regards, Cathy

      It's amazing how strong insects are, especially with carrying things. I'm not a huge fan of big spiders, especially when there's a chance that they could get on me, but it's fun seeing them in a controlled environment like this. Hope you have a great day!

    Fun look around the bug gallery! You get to watch the insects up close without worrying about getting bit or stung! Some of those spider webs look super creepy! The blue crab was really cool- I haven't seen one like that before. I always wonder how they get the insects to lie out flat with the pins, since they seem to dry out in weird shapes whenever I've found them. Lots to learn- great for adults as well as kids!! Thanks!! 👍👍😄

    • @DonnaTaibossigai
      @DonnaTaibossigai  5 місяців тому +1

      I really enjoy visiting this gallery. I always find the pinned insects in the display cases get overlooked with all the living moving creatures around. I would definitely be avoiding brushing any thick webs away like that, even with a broom. Thanks so much!

    Oh I would like to visit this place... I never heard of insect museums before ... It's new to me... How nice to see and know about them... It's indeed a must visit place for the children... 1:18 seeing it for the first time... Loved his moves... 2:09 it's like someone pls remove this part from my body... 3:22 I never seen them resting quietly like this.... Thorough enjoyed watching this... I wonder how they maintain it with all those host plants and food for these wild insects.... Really a commendable effort!!!

They have an important role to play and you captured some fascinating footage up close of them! The crayfish is so cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. Those beetles are a whole new level!

    Thanks for the Arachnophobes warning - thankfully, I am not one! I do like seeing spiders, and I am careful not to injury them if I remove one from inside the house.
    Curious seeing the crayfish act like that! I think you are probably right!
    Lovely work here on this video Donna.
    Take care,

      Hi Paul, it's been interesting hearing who likes seeing spiders and insects and who doesn't. I feel like I put the arachnophobes warning up a bit late though...lol. Good job on carefully removing the lost spiders in your home, we generally do the same with all the creatures that find their way inside, too. Thanks so much!
