I wasn't too fond of the dragonfly until I saw them hunting mosquitoes. Dragonflies, you have my utmost support bros.
We have mosquito trucks here spraying poison everywhere once a week. I don't think it does anything because there are still millions of them that attack me outside where I live
@@sarahkilo3606 Sarah they need to be spraying dragonflies instead apparently. Maybe you should keep some as pets.
They had me at "hunting" and "mosquitoes"
We call em mosquito hawks for that reason
Yea these guys are great I’ve been out hiking and have deer flies pestering the hell outta me and dragon flies come in like goddamn top gun and grab them mid flight it’s awesome
“....yet” with the zoom on the dragonfly turning towards the camera has me DYING laughing
The future scares me now
2:10
Or do you mean FLYING
because
dragonfly
@@Flowtail why would you do this to me LOL
@@redflame300 it has me interested though.
"They eat almost anything they can catch, *with the moxie of a drunk college student who found half a breakfast burrito in their mini fridge."* 😂 Ah, these descriptions give me life
That's the point.
I showed this to my dad (he's 70). I haven't seen him laugh so hard in years. Thought I was gonna have to call an ambulance. Keep 'em coming!
“RIGHT-FRICKEN-OVER-HERE-AND-HERE.”
GangPardos IM ROLLINGG🤣

Ohh hosh tat got me laughing like a swan
Like a swan?
zefrank videos are the only thing keeping the fabric of spacetime from tearing in two.
Zefrank is Jesus approved!
Holy Christ
Jason Bourne that’s Jesus Christ
Wait, wait, wait... So Jesus Christ has a checkbox? Meaning that UA-cam verified that the user claiming to be Jesus Christ is, in fact, the real Jesus Christ? I guess I'm no longer agnostic. Thanks, UA-cam!
Well, if there was one guy who would know, it would be you
“And while Libby was good at avoiding frogs, she is currently under the windshield wiper of a HOOOOOUN- DDIEEEEEE…” friggin GOLD!!!
You can tell Frank has fun with these videos and honestly it's his whole appeal. He obviously enjoys this stuff and it shows
Wonder how many retakes he has to do because he cracks himself up. Maybe one day "Jerry" should do a video hehe
“Right. Frickin’. Over. Here. And. Here.” 😂
Michael Napouk I’m dying of laughter 😂
Justine Prévost have you seen his other videos, there’s several of them out there!
Michael Napouk yeah! I’m such a fan lol
Lmao had me dying 😭😭
That got me, gonna check out more
All joking aside, this is entertaining as well as legitimately educational.
Mans a genius
Agreed
I learn more from these vids, then in school
toxic fire Wish I could give this comment 10 thumbs up! 👍
He joke about, but doesn't stray from the facts
"Friggin'. Over. Here. And. Here!"
I'm dead XD
This got me too🤣🤣
10:03
I was searching for this 😂😂😂😂
Best part of the video!! LMAO
I am wheeezing!!! x'D
1) as a former college student who has eaten breakfast burrito, this elicits a very visceral and tactile sensation memory from me.
2) "Butt first cannibalisms is not a a good look for any species" = Truth
When he said that I think it's the first time he didn't tell Jerry he has to proof read first because he actually mean butt cannibals and not but, cannibals. 😂
Please don’t disappear for two years again...
He finally broke the spell BuzzFeed put on him
He finally got paroled.
Ikr
Ikr it would be a shame :(
i can finally quote this channel in biology class and not get bad looks.
“Yet” dragonfly: *looks at the camera like it’s in the office*
I would make a that’s what she said, but that would be too hard

*ORA ORA ORA*
DIOOO ?!
Road roller!
I just love how you pronounced "He-yun-die". It's priceless!
5:31 I couldn’t stop laughing, I’m so glad I found this channel. I love nature videos and maybe learning some things I didn’t know before but you are so hilarious as well. I can put these on for my daughter and we will binge every video because I get a huge kick out of them too. Seriously what UA-cam was created for, thanks for being one of the very few legitimately dope content creators
"Right... frikkin.... over... here... and... here!"
Best ending ever
That got me!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its like your planning where to put the furniture, while having sex.
@@SonicXD001
"That is how the dragonfly do."
That was funny
"All you need is a bathtub, a muffin, and a go-get-em attitude." 😂😂
Josh Peterson nothing will happen, but you might lose a roommate Hahahaha!
Josh Peterson i was looking for this comment.
I almost died at that one lmfaoo
tbh i didn't get it
idk english isn't my first language
I am still crying 😂😂😂
I'm in a legitimately very bad mood, very down and such, but when he had us imagine an anus, and told us we can keep it, it made me laugh. Thank you zefrank
My day has been made.
@@bellsy4622I decided mine would have a little bow tie
Fart jet propulsion
😅
What did your anus look like?
“Same same, but different” is one of the best most useful phrases to ever come out of this, I will use it every day now
2:15 "YET" perfectly timed! so funny!
"Such majestic creatures"

Karen: isn't my child beautiful?
This reply chain is an abominatuon of curse-ness
“Right…friken…over…here!!”
Perfection
I love the tone and ecological education mix in your humor! I grew up in the swampy lower section of Georgia and used to catch dragon flies from below on the clothesline.
"And although Libby was great at avoiding frogs, she is currently under the windshield wiper of a Hyyuuundaaaaiiiiii." 😂 8:01
*hyun-die
LOL 😂
I couldn't seem to figure out what he said, although I think he said "Honda" am I right?
@@sargentsteve7148 yup
Nope. Hyundai. Different car.
Thank you forever and ever for coming back to us z
Only took him a few years, some cow blood, and a child sacrifice. We summoned him though, it was successful.
For real... the net just wasn't the same without frank
9:11,try finding this position on pornhub
Me:is that a challenge I hear?
One of the truly good things on the www
"But maybe the babies are placed RIGHT OVER HERE AND HERE!" I died laughing 😂👌
"Symphony of death" is such an awesome phrase. I wonder if he was intentionally referencing Iron Maiden?
Possibly Megadeath.
Sounds edgy
@@mysterymaster180 I was thinking of a verse from Maiden's song Paschendale:
"Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire;
Running straight at cannon fire;
Running blind as I hold my breath;
Say a prayer, symphony of death"
It's probably just a coincidence, as "symphony of death" is just an awesome phrase. Anybody who thinks of it is naturally gonna want to work it in to anything they can.
"The sound of the mortars, the music of Death; We're playing the Devil's symphony."
-Sabaton: "Stalingrad"
I love how Zefrank’s favorite recurring phrase seems to be “Scientists have used their sciences”
It's better than saying scientists have be spending hours day maybe even years stalking some insect closer than the fbi stalks people who they don't like to see how it hunts
And "bebbes".
"Scientists have used their thinky thinky parts to figure out..."
That's how the scientists _do_.
hidey-holes
“While human entrance to adulthood is marked by pimples, useless hair on our genitals and college debt, the adult odonata gets freaking wings.” 😂😂😂😂
We were totally screwed
Our reincarnation is rigged.
On the bright side we have another 20 years of crippling depression, oh wait.... that’s not very bright....
And now I'm jealous
5:40
You know 2020 has hit you hard when you read the title as "The coronavirus dragonflies"
I’m a total biology/animal/science nerd and I didn’t know that they ate mosquitoes!!??? PROTECT THE DRAGONFLY at all costs!!
Thank you, ZF. Perfect teachings and humor as always.
"Science hippy".
All you need is a bathtub, a muffin, and a go-get-them attitude!
*WHEEZE*
Nothing will happen, but you might lose a roommate.
Sinclair St.Cloud lol
I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying
Sinclair St.Cloud You didn’t just lose your roommate, You lost your life
*CARAMELLDANSEN LASER*
i don't get that joke...care to explain?
"Their wings look like they're made by a coke addict being attacked by a squirrel who is also a coke addict" 🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was widely known that all squirrels are coke addicts
@@robinmatz6686 You live in Florida or something?
Their 90% hunting success rate is one of the highest of all animals. Absolutely incredible organic machines.
5:27
It's moments like these and the other quips provided with facts that makes this all the more enjoyable.
I'm really happy to have found this channel. Far better than television.
Like college, but worth the intuition!
As a former practicing biology teacher, I only wish these True Facts had been available when I was in the classroom.
I think we all know that they can't. Sadly.
We ran out of time, but my Invertebrate Zoology professor was going to show us the Mantis Shrimp one
I teach in south korea. I use them all the time. Kids love it. No backlash yet.
@@catherinestickels2591 Cause it was the only video that was okay to show in school
@@lindag5851 That's not really a concern in college where we used them. My point was that they are indeed good in classrooms, rather than on the appropriateness.
"The following has nothing to do with the human labia, which, thankfully, has not eveloved in this direction... YET".
That's it, you are a genius.
I swear
Depends if we're considering family court as part of that equation or not.
@@justadude9012 youre right. labias have been preying on modern men for decades now. the family court is like the stomach, digesting your property and wealth to feed the labia
Since ZeFrank's father did win the nobel prize in chemistry chances are he probably is a genius.
🤣🤣🤣
My mom runs a small organization, and has a big part in water quality. She eventually got led to various aquatic fauna, and the dragonfly has become essentially a staple of the organization. i know multiple pieces of random trivia because of it. love you mom
Now I want the official pronunciation of babies to be "be-bis"
From the scientist point of view:
"This is a marvelous nature."
From the mosquitoes point of view:
*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
"Shit!"
7:39
*NOM NOM*
Nomnom
Mosquitoes can get f***ed
This blew my mind. I had no idea they lived underwater most of their lives and were so badass.
Chris blew my mind too! I always associated mosquitoes with growing up in water
@@AceAlbatros mosquitoes require still water to reproduce, so yes
you look up water bugs, the one thing that piranhas fear
You should look up caddisflies, they are amazing creatures.
@@jwinthepro what about sausage flies ? they submit themselves to a tribe amazons for an eternity of fucking
I can’t take this seriously
This guy is legend for being so funny 😂
I honestly can just watch these over and over.
“Water is drawn in from the butt, as it should be” 😂
Hol Up
😂😂😂
Best line in the whole thing
Omg as I was reading this he said it 😅😅😭
like the olimpics atlets
BRO WHEN HE SAID "YET" AND THE BUG NOT ONLY LOOKED TOWARDS THE CAMERA, BUT THE CAMERA ALSO ZOOMED-IN ON IT.
XD
Around 2:15
XD
That part sent me 🙌🏾🤣
@The hutwatch Builder The time when he said it in the video.
probably the wet dream of those feminazis
@@kv2315 Sounds like your wetdream, Kevin
I’ve watched this video upwards of 6 times and I’ve NEVER seen the text at 3:12. I’m so obedient.

"Hey guys! We can use chickens to breed dinosaurs!"
Dinosaurs eat man, women inherit the earth.

Same here. I'm still laughing! :D
I had to break the 100 perfect likes
7:45 isn't good enough?
7:22 the dragonfly knows where it is...
This is the funniest one I've seen yet. Man you had me rolling.
These videos are becoming more and more genuinely educational *while* also getting funnier. You are a freaking treasure.
Whilst
Bedroom Blueberry actually, while is correct. Whilst is an alternate word, like between and betwixt, except whilst isn’t as archaic as betwixt.
And their really not funny
Electroboom and zefrank1 are two of my favorite educational YT Treasures.
@Furrymix _gacha im not easily amused
"You can try this at home!"
"All you need is a bathtub, a muffin, and a go-get'em attitude."
"Nothing will happen, but you might lose a roommate"
Did that, and never again.
Best line in the history of entertainment!😂
I legit snorted laughing at this line and shot whiskey out my nose. The wife said I looked like that damn giraffe in the previous video. Lmao
I guess I can't do this at home; I don't like muffins. Wait...does it work for pie?
Sushii Bird you forgot to use a strainer on the drain didn't you?
5:50 "We totally get screwed."
One might consider that an _upside_ to adolescence.
this man is actually soo underrated like his narration
*chef kiss*
"Water is drawn in through the butt - as it should be."
Speech 100.

Tried that once, as a child, in the bath. Mom got mad...
We Entomologists salute you! Thank you for providing EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL that people ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT! Your comedy makes this a TEACHING MASTERPIECE!
@Chia Li Jung Boooorinnnng (I mean documentaries are great, but humor is humor. And this video is... well... humorous)
@@draven_sword7092 your skeleton is humerus.
waaw entomology 👍👍
It at least helped me, and I am an Entomophobist!
@Chia Li Jung I have to agree with that one, these kinds of videos should be used for younger audiences as it will take their interest more but to provide the most amount of information in the shortest amount of time, I have to say normal documentary is more useful.
Without a doubt, the funniest and most informative nature documentary I have ever seen.
I've watched this so many times and it is divine every single time
2:15 ...has nothing to do with the human labia...yet. Priceless.
YET
Especially the zoom in
Aggressively looks into your soul
Does that mean I should see a doctor?
Now that I think about it..... Have we been tricked by the labia, lured in to stick our thingies in ....looks at the ants video... life is about finding a taker for what you are giving.
*All you need is a bathtub, a muffin, and a Go-Get-'Em attitude. Nothing will happen, but you might lose a roommate*
HAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S BRILLIANT!!!
It took me a moment, but then I just lost it. Literally cried and had to rewind the next part.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know explaining a joke ruins it, and I LOVED the rest of the video, but can someone explain this joke to me?
"Butt first cannibalism isn't a very good look for any species. Nobody wins" 😂😂😂 I died!!
This is officially among my favorite True Facts videos!
"... which, thankfully, hasn't evolved in that direction... YET!" Holy crap, that made me lol so hard.
0:30 Damselflies have a cool name in spanish. In spanish they are called “caballitos del diablo” which translates to Small horses of the Devil
In Portuguese, it's called "libélula". I have no idea what it means...
It seems that there is an identical word in Spanish, though: 'La palabra libélula viene del latín libellula, que a su vez es el diminutivo de libella que significa “balanza”, término que hace referencia a la capacidad del insecto para mantenerse equilibrado en el aire.'
From Latin, meaning balance... Fair enough.
Libélula is how you call dragonfly in both spanish and portuguese.
Caballito del diablo is how you call damselfly in spanish.
Idk how you call damselflies in portuguese.
@@fishguy3101 we call it "donzela", which it means maiden
Oh sorry, I read dragonflies... I didn't even know the difference. It seems people call it "donzela" or "donzelinha", in diminutive. Would be "doncellita" in Spanish? How cute
"These young couple are in search of... Oh- forget it." lmfao🤣💀
😂😁
Fishy caught a snack!
I was going to lik but then I realised you're at 666 likes so I have to leave it by law
Wow. As a pond owner, this just made me smarter and quite amused at the same time.

"it's like if you had testicles hanging down by your ankles, like the little bells on an elven shoe"

Be ready for a rollercoaster of emotions
"while human entrance to adulthood is marked with PIMPLES ,USELESS HAIR on GENITAL and COLLEGE DEBT the adult dragonflies gets FREAKING WINGS !!! , we totally getting screwed" i laugh so hard hearing this XD
It's hilarious because it's true.
Seriously, Hair in your ear, on your butt....and your Genitals. Damn evolution
"Water is drawn in through the butt, as it should be."
😂
I actually did a snort laugh at that line!
as all things should be
Because the butt is the place to draw things through. That is is purpose
@@annhuffman8386 as it should be
When I saw the title, I had to do a double take. I must've gone dyslexic for a second there, cause I read it as "Coronavirus Dragonflies", not "Carnivorous Dragonflies". I'm wheezing 😂.
This guy totally cracks me up. Absolutely hilarious. Love the voice too!
RIGHT. FRICKIN. OVER. HERE. AND. HERE.
This part literally got me burst out laughing.
That "double dragonfly" I saw as a kid in summer camp makes SOOO much more sense now lmao
You mean double anus flying things?
It flies RIGHT, FRICKIN, OVER, HERE, AND, HERE
ShadeVial they was sky fuckin
You can also see it in house flies! :D
They’re usually on top of each other even if you shoo them off, I try to kill them if I see that-

“HY-OOOON- DIE”

The amount of laugh I held to not wake my sleeping wife while watching this educational masterpiece is immeasurable.
Can David please stay a recurring character, he's my favorite.
Mine too!!!
He was actually from the ant mutualism video, so this must've been his comeback!
Go to 22 seconds and you'll see. ua-cam.com/video/1h7KV2sjUWY/v-deo.html
David, come back David that's poop.
Wasn't expecting u here.
ooh yea😝
I love how he puts out accurate information and makes it halarrious at the same time.
Like "The interestingness of animal is proportional to how difficult it is to figure out where it's butthole is."
This channel makes me happy. Thank you
Some Dragonflies are the definition of “fuck around and find out,”
I swear he needs his own prime time nature show 😂😂😂
Thats what i said way back. I swear this guy would get all the kids attention
It would be R-rated.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog All the better ;)
He could make a show about anything and make it interesting. He could review pain and it would be awesome
I would love to know who zefrank actually knows named David. I feel there’s a lot of unresolved resentment there.
Not as much as Jerry
Kate DeGonia Nah, Jerry’s in the process of redeeming himself! He really worked hard to help make the ostrich video, for example! 😂
“YET” editor(s) deserve highest praise for that well timed zoom and turn 😂😂😂
No one else covers etimology in such detail. The humor is Prime Time. Thanks.
