At this day and age this type of content is so rare, and so welcomed. Just a chill guy, looking for cool bugs and telling you about them. So nice, definetly worth a like
I think millipede is dangerous if it bites us, but he seem nothing afraid.
@@SannPisethahe did some video where he gets bit and rate the pain from 1 to 10 lol
@@zugzwang8761 OH! Isn't it?
Your videos inspire me not to be scared of handling bugs thank you so much for making videos of finding bugs 💝
You are welcome. :)
@@GeneralApathy I feel like I can touch every bug I see and and not get poisoned
@@emmanuelalvarez5673 until you get poisoned
That’s probably my first time seeing an albino millipede. Cool find!
That helmeted “iguana” was also surprisingly calm.
I think it may have been a little on the cold side. :O
Ah, that makes sense. Great video!
I also thought the ‘iguana’ WAS incredibly calm!!! It was great to see one in the wild- super cool, & a rare glimpse!!🙂
*grabs iguana like a computer mouse*
You have such excellent handling skills. How are you so brave with grabbing the things you see?
No bravery required, just a lack of certain phobias.
I could grab that thing easy, the fucking gross bugs however impress me alot. Millipede disgust me way less than other insects
That albino population thing sounds like melanistic squirrels. Apparently they're very rare, but appear in localized bunches. We've seen plenty up at our cabin
I always thought that Albinism was an interesting phenomenon, thank you for sharing. (Congratulations on 70K.)
So have I. Thank you, Victor. :D
@@GeneralApathy :D
omg your channel is like a childhood dream, I'm always fascinated with bugs and observing them. pls continue to make more videos
Im addicted to your channel. It suddenly show on my preferences YT algorithm. New subs here.
Man, I wish I had a memory like yours when I was studying Biology.
I'm Panemaian and this makes me so happy thanks!
:D
I've never really been interested in this kind of stuff (in fact, I'm a bit squeamish with bugs in general), but I can't stop watching lol
been binging your videos for the past few days! Absolutely love all of them
Thank you so much. :D
Thank you for the video. Always a pleasure to see in situ footage of various species.
Awasome video, walking in the forest with the rain in the background this is perfect
:D
I love bugs. they are so cool. I wish I could handle them like you do, but my brain doesn't let me!
So, since the cyanide the millipedes release is only harmful if ingested, that means they are poisonous, rather than venomous, correct?
Some really cool specimens. Thanks for sharing your adventure, noble sir! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who is more comfortable handling invertebrates than you.
Correct.
as already mentioned this content is too rare! like all your videos!
thanks
I love insects so much, and through photography and interest, i've began finding it easier to just handle insects and not worry so much about bites and such. I've learned unless provoked, insects are typically really calm! So i'm extremely happy to find your channel as I don't know where to find certain insects and this is a really entertaining way to find out! Subbed. Also, how do you find these lush areas? Where I live its harder to find these places due to urbanization, really the only areas we have are parks.
I had access to private property when making this video. There are a lot of lush forests, often protected, in Panama regardless though.
I've gotta say, your videos are better than any wildlife show I've seen in the mainstream circle. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Jackie. :D
@@GeneralApathy You're very welcome, my friend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! It's proven MOST interesting!!
That’s awesome so much Variety out there.
Loved those big spirobolids! Chunky millipedes are my favorites.
damn u went from 1k subs to 72k in a short period of time congrats
Thank you. :D
I love these videos, thank you for making them.
Even the most terrifying horror movies I've ever watched didn't make my heart beat like crazy. I think the adrenaline level in my body is enough to have a heart attack. And I don't know why I still watch these videos. You made all my fears and nightmares come true.
You need to watch cheap 80s Italian horror like Fulci and you'll realize there's nothing to be scared of from the few minor bites he gets in these vids. Most of the bugs can barely break the skin.
your videos are so interesting I love it very much getting to know the local species there.
Thank you for teaching.. your work here is quite important..
I'm terrified of any and all insects and arachnids, but I definitely love albino and melanistic creatures regardless. This was cool, i was amazed at how many albino ones you found.
I like the clip, I like your clip, it's very good.
Thank you.
100th comment (: I love your videos, they're so informative, and fun because you interact with all these creatures. Please don't stop making videos lol
I so appreciate your channel. You are so incredibly honest with yout knowledge. If you don't know , you say so! You have SUCH a wide knowledgeable too. I hope you carry water, or disinfectant cloths with you to get the cyanide off right after the millipede does that thing. I must say, I don't understand what the difference between the millipede and centipede is...
cool albino millipedes. nice vid.
I saw some Christmas tree moss there. My experience with that plant is that it dies really quickly without water. Now I see why. It's growing on dead wood in the undergrowth of a tropical forest.
Love your videos! Excellent work!
Thank you very much, Rob.
You found a lot of shinies in that route, cool
Cool the harvest man reminds me of an oversized vonones ornata
I love these kind of content, I should’ve subscribed you since your first video!
I used to keep giant African millipedes, & had some giant pill millipedes for a while. I just love millipedes, & would love to have an albino one.
great video. next video will be your 100th on the channel.
12:48 teehee, it's cute that you're so concerned here, but I sincerely doubt the frog cares about your opinion of it 💅
Love your videos thier really interesting and love the way you explain things ^^
Thank you. :D
bug collecting was a big hobby of mine when I was young. I'm now stationed in south Korea with the army, and seeing your videos makes me want to get back into finding and collecting them. do you know any good resources, or have any tips/recommendations, for looking and caring for bugs in this part of the world? thanks!
I have never been further east than the Persian Gulf, so I do not have any experience in that region of the world. I do know that the climate is quite humid during peak insect activity, so you should be extra wary of desiccation. If you have a general idea of the species you seek, I may be able to provide better advice.
@@GeneralApathy that's definitely something to think about. if you don't mind me asking, how do you gather information about what you're looking for prior to travelling? do you use a website, or Is this some sort of a career for you as well as a hobby? thanks for the help.
I’m not a millipede expert” *says millipede expert* 🙂🙂 (I seriously think that ‘professional’s don’t have this much knowledge & field experience!!)
great video! I actually keep a few pet millipedes (O. ornatus of the gold variety and H. haydeniana, which you actually showed in this video!) so it delights me to see others sharing an appreciation for these underrated critters. I hope to be an entomologist when I graduate so I envy this herping trip of yours! so many cool species.
what you said about most ants not bothering millipedes is true. however there are some ant species that actually specialize in taking down millipedes. i was recently in thailand and there i found a cool scene of the gorgous blue leptogenys chalybaea forming daisy chains to transport a rather large pill millipede.
Love your videos!
Congrats on 90k
Thank you.
1:10 What's that worm? I've never see before in I was young until now.
When I found this Video in my recommendation, I thought it was composed/taped by a big UA-camr yet I was wrong ,I still wonder why your sub count are at 70k only.
Nice
I wish they could create breeding programs for those AWESOME TRACTOR albino mutation millipedes!!! Well, actually ALL of these millipedes are INCREDIBLE- I would LOVE to have one!! (
(I wonder if they DO allow for some responsible wild collection & export?)
I’ve never EVER even remotely seen any around the Midwest for sale.
Lemurs in Madagascar get high off lemur secretions they also use as insect repellent. They lightly masticate them.
In eastern panama I found several pale millipedes just like those, but no normal colored ones (I saw other large flatbacked millipedes with dark coloration but they were clearly different species with longer legs and different flanges etc). I assumed they were just a species that always looks like that
Really interesting video. Isn't there a big risk of crushing everything when you place the logs back where they were?
Would love to have the names as clear text below the critters :D since I still have to learn how to remember them... love your vids !
I may start doing that later, but for now you can find them in the description.
omw it actually looks scientifically made, amazing stuff❤
cool content bug man
guess ill sub now
He was shiny hunting for sure 😂
🔥🔥🔥
What leaf cutter species was under that log? I’m guessing some type of acromyrmex species
GDH Scorpion vids? We still have a month
The iguana just got grabbed like a *computer mouse pad*
3:40 dude out here shiny hunting in real life
Can you show your protection? Like how you can move through forests and not get bitten by ticks/snakes
6:57-- are those eggs, next to the millipede, or its excrement, or detritus?
As with many albino or leucistic animals ....they are beautiful! I've been hooked on white animals ever since I saw the National Geographic article on Snowflake the albino gorilla back in the early sixties.
10:19 is that charmender!
Thank you very cool video. I first saw one these tractor millipedes in New York state park on the side of tree 10years ago. I could never figure out if US has these beautiful large millipedes why people doing educational shows don't use these more for hands on or demonstration Most people seem to use the large black millipedes from African for show. I think the tractor type millipede I saw was likey 4 inches. I assume maybe the tractor centipede sprays more?
I am uncertain as to whether they have that ability at all.
Nice video
5:53 can i get more info on this millipede eating beetle?
6:37 research says its a bearded weevil. very cool and quite big. wish they had mega weevils in the uk
Rhinostomus barbirostris is the scientific name
Oh that's cool
As he grabs my nightmare material
those millipedes are gettin busy
What kind of centipedes are found in Panama?
Having lived in New Mexico its weird seeing you just casually picking up snakes and scorpions
My guess would the ants are of the Ectatomma genus though I'm not sure.
bro caught two shinys in a row i think hes hacking
7:17 Isn't that an isopod?
0:59 "supposedly is not harmful"
not sure how much I'd bet on "supposed" knowledge
you must be fun at parties bro........................just tell her ' i got crabs' ........ wanna see them? lol
When I flipped a log there were baby spiders and yes there are baby’s there was a egg sac
damn ur wild
That one ｔｈｉｃｃ millipede
"I'm no expert in animal but" *Proceeds to explain the biology of the animal*
What kind of work/education allows you to travel and delight us with these videos?
Can you search for the the local Gastropods in the area. Im my garden in fl i only find leather leaf slugs they’re cute but quite boring. I’d love to see the types in Central/South America.
Where in Panama are you located?
These were found about an hour west of David.
Can inverts even be albino? Slugs can be white sometimes but I've never seen an albino spider, or csntipede or millipede. If I search em up there are no images.
Technically, I don’t think so. Arthropods don’t produce melanin to begin with. They may lack the various other pigments they are supposed to produce, but that may not fit the definition of albino.
@@GeneralApathy so it's basically just a color mutation?
@@GeneralApathy also I bet we will reach 100 k soon. Been around since like 300 or 500 subs can't remember. 😊🦂🕷🕸🐞🐝🐜🦎🐍
We have crab spiders here in Canada that can be white but I don't think that would count as albinos.
@@loupblanc7944 it doesn't. They just change color from white to yellow depending what flower they move to. Im in canada too lol
cool
@7:30 no they’re not, they’re called rolli pollis! Lol 😅
millipedes are millimeters long and centipedes are centimeters long so.. *what’s a kilopede?*
An albino millipede is still camouflage by the looks of things.
Could you catch more and make more housing videos?
I have to keep that format of video on hold for now because they don't allow live animals where I am currently living.
@@GeneralApathy ah i see if you don't mind me asking what happened to the ones you use to have? Did you give them to a friend?
@@tfordham13 Yes, a friend is keeping my collection for me in the meantime.
We have a similar millipede In the UK shapewise but they are very small sadly
That stench a millipede gives out, is that too cyanide..?
It's very pungent on the nose..
And speaking of albino, I've noticed more n more around than usual..
At my place, this very moment, I've two (what's suppose to be) red back spiders.. ..the web, the placement (area of home), the eggs n a stain on it's back matches everything about the redback.. ..just that it's kinda clear like..
I've noticed small roaches, pray-mantis, millipedes, flies, n spiders being albino..
Now one or three would maybe be normal to none; and yet every week, we see a fair few..
Question: would something in the zones play a role..? Since I'm only seeing this many on eastcoast..?
It depends on the species in question.
@@GeneralApathy ..the one thats mixed between a milli- centipede, you mentioned @ around 12:35.. ..i think, or near of..
animals seem kind of weird. There's no real fight or flight reaction from a lot of them, maybe just a bit of initial surprise.
Cool vid can u find some thing cool? Pls
Algorithm!
Are these good for food?
He said one is deadly
I’d say no.
Calm down Pumbaa 😂
Albino is like a shiny in pokemongo lol
That millipede is paler than a league of legends gamer
