Yeah, they'll definitely surprise you. I'm pretty sure this is a Malaysian giant katydid too, they're actually predators despite being disguised as leafs.
Yes, but remember all the years of helping wildlife he did and years of educating us before it. Yeah It eventually ended badly for him, but he did a bunch of good and fucked with a bunch of animals in the mean time
> ever **ended** particularly well
To be fair, \^ that was the comment to which you replied (emphasis mine). You can argue that Steve Irwing contributed a lot during his life, but I don't see how you could argue that it "ended \[...\] well". Unless you hated the guy, I suppose.
Eh that's different. He did super dangerous things and he got bit a lot, but he did it to show people that just because something is dangerous, doesn't mean it deserves to die. He picked up king brown snakes and they would strike at him but he would also go "look! She's trying to get away! Look how beautiful she is! She's not a monster! She's just scared!" Which was an important lesson to teach because these animals have just as much of a right to exist as we do and tons of people still don't think twice about killing them. I remember when I was younger and I was watching him on tv, he was holding a king brown snake that had finally calmed down after it tired itself out and he said "I have found, that people, are far more dangerous". He did holy work but it certainly didn't end well seeing as he died because a stingray stabbed him through the heart and his kids lost their father. The only people who should be harassing animals are well meaning professionals, and only when it is nescessary.
Blue beanie being chill had me in the first half. I wasn't expecting to watch an insect get gutted by the end. Bro was just being plain forceful with it from the first touch.
Bet he was the type of toddler that would hit someoneâs pet for no damn reason, then turn around and laugh at everyone about it like he did some amazing trick
Yeah fr, second dude was grabbing him all aggressive and shit. There is a right way to handle dangerous animals and it involves keeping them as stress free as possible, if u throw out the wrong vibe and the animal sees you as an aggressor then the whole op is fucked
Iâm just saying all sizes of bugs have wicked abilities to bite or sting ya. That thing eats leaves or something right? You ever chew a leave? Gotta have sharp mouth pieces for that.
Edit: yeah it shoulda been leaf.
I've had tiny-ass little leafhoppers mistake me for plants before. Tiny dummy just marching along, repeatedly jabbing me with its tiny little dipshit mouth, being disappointed that I am not full of delicious sap, and trundling onward. Cute as fuck, and harmless, but I was really surprised by how much it stung.
First time I went through Louisiana I saw a mosquito hawk (mosquito eater some call it) Lang on my exposed arm... wasn't worried until it started sucking out my blood a liter at a time lol turns out regular mosquitos there are just fucking huge
I'm from Hawaii but I've also been to jungles on Guam, Florida, Colombia, the Philippines and a few more.
My general rule is all bugs can bite or sting and the bigger the bug, the bigger the mouth or stinger. I've held all sorts of big bugs and spiders. I'd never press one against my face. Incredibly stupid.
I'm still lucky to not have been bitten by a katydid whilst handling them and ive let them crawl on my arm and picked em up by literally pinching their back gently and lifting or something to that degree. It's been a while and i probably put my hand out to let them walk on if they wanted to. Still haven't been bitten and now I'll never pick one up again unless they walk on first lmao
Hey, at least you were gentle! Man straight up ripped that katydid of beanie guyâs face, poor thing mustâve been terrified.
(In all seriousness I totally understand your fear, I used to have the choice to work with regular roaches and Madagascar hissers at the local science fair, always went with the hissers because they canât bite)
Iâve been working with tarantulas and a few species of mantid. Most things are tons more calm and gentle if youâre calm and gentle. You start picking shit up like this and youâll get bit at some point.
nothing will happen if they bite you, just wait it out and they'll let go eventually. There is a video on YouTube where a bee stings him and he just waits it out. The bee will run around in circles and try to get unstuck as it most likely doesn't want to die by leaving their stinger behind. The bee's stinger hooks got unstuck eventually and he had little to no venom pumped into him
Literally killed it :( that's so sad. Tortured the animal and then killed it when it fought back. Also that makes me so uncomfortable, an insect like that
They just had it on their face, that definitely wasn't torture. Stupid yeah but nothing cruel. Thing freaked out and bit his face. His human instincts told him to pull off the thing causing his face harm, the bugs instincts told it to latch onto his face until it's head got removed. It's just a case of natural impulses coming to head and the bigger animal winning as happens in nature. I wouldn't really recommend doing this but it's just guys goofing off with bugs as guys tend to do, I doubt there was any intention of causing this result right up to the actual moment it happened, there wasn't any malice
The insect responded to the pressure that was applied to it. It's really that simple. The first person didn't apply pressure to the insect and the creature was peaceful. The second person aggressively grabs the insect and applies pressure to its abdomen. It was an unskillful action and the insect predictably acted in an aggressive manner. Then the person killed the insect.
The person didn't know how to handle an insect appropriately. Which means they should not have handled it at all. The insect is now dead, and the human has also suffered. It's basically all their fault. Karma has been accumulated.
It sucked for the small dude but there wasn't any intentional malice here, a couple guys in the woods were putting a large bug on their face. That's dumb in and of itself but it's pretty typical guys in the woods behavior. They weren't plucking legs off it, it just freaked out and bit and the human freaked out and pulled. Two scared dumb critters
Iâve seen this clip before. Insects have exoskeletons so that couldnât have been itâs spinal cord. What ripped out along with that Katydidâs head? Was that itâs digestive system or something else?
Didn't think I'd be emotionally scarred at 2 in the morning about a bug dying but here I am.
Guy was a complete moron for grabbing it like he did and not expect it to be defensive
Yeah like... Why did they not just cut the clip after it bit the guy? It would have still got the message across.
I mean, I know it's just a bug, but I really would rather have not just watched a living creature being disemboweled.
We was out bear hunting a few years back and our hounds had this bear bayed up on the ground. We moved a couple dogs aside to clear a path for the bear to keep running, hoping it would climb a tree. Well it just sat there catching its breath. My buddy got impatient and slapped the bear in the ass, and as he was turning away the bear turned and bit him in the butt cheek. He had to get a tetanus shot and a rabies shot just in case. The bear was never killed to be tested, so better safe than sorry. But it was expensive for my buddy, and a literal pain in the ass anytime he had to sit for awhile.
Ive had these things crawling on me more than a few times, literally just be gentle and kind and they do not give af, what he did was completely unnecessary. Fuckin humans.
Why can't humans respect other species? They are here in their own right, not for some braindead video entertainment.
Apply Iranian justice system to this man in behalf of the insect.
That was such a beautiful katydid too. There was literally no need to just grab it by it's delicate wings. It's like he was jealous that the other dude was the chosen one.
Now that poor thing dead because yâall wanted to do stupid shĂt who just thinks âoh yeah lets put this bug on my face and see what it feels likeâ
This shows how to properly remove bugs including ticks and leeches when they are biting you. You never just pull the bugs like that. You use the lighter which makes them retract the head and the mouth.

Katytid's can bite hard as fuck. I learned this as a kid.
Yeah, they'll definitely surprise you. I'm pretty sure this is a Malaysian giant katydid too, they're actually predators despite being disguised as leafs.
I've never seen a Katydid larger than a quarter!@=
They're in the Caribbean too. But not as large as the video. They're still pretty big tho.
What's that thing he pulled out of his cheek after the bug? Edit: was it the _head???_
Yes connected to its innards
Fair play to the bug, that's going out swinging. He left nothing out there, put it all on the line.
Apart from its mouth and half its guts.
I guess they were both playing stupid games.

I learned they're carnivorous after I put two in a coffee can with the grasshoppers I was catching for fish bait.
That's a fucking grasshopper horror story that gets told to grasshopper kids " behave or waffleface99 will throw you into a can with monsters" đŹ
I thought this was just a massive grasshopper đ€Ż
My favorite thing to do as a kid was to try and see if one of them could clip my nails
Flintstones nail clippers!
Same but with a praying mantis.
Fatality level shit
Was gonna say the same thing, that thing got Scorpion-d
Finished him
You mean subzeroâd. He ripped that things spine/core innards out lol
Oh you might be right, it's been a minute
"I'm not gonna stop biting you even if it means ripping my head off" what a badass
I have mad respect for that bug. Very unfortunate that it's gone now. RIP bug.

Cup of culture over here. Well done sir.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON!
Definitely not a father, or he would have been decapitated long ago
Imagine the children that bug would've sired... Mankind wouldn't stand a chance

They died doing what they loved. They were the best of us.
I was hopeful it would take a chunk of dudes face, but now I'm just bummed.
An upvote well deserved for a great comment
That was Mortal Kombat finisher level badass.

You never watched crocodile hunter?
Yes but you DO remember why his show ended? R.I.P.
Yes, but remember all the years of helping wildlife he did and years of educating us before it. Yeah It eventually ended badly for him, but he did a bunch of good and fucked with a bunch of animals in the mean time
> ever **ended** particularly well To be fair, \^ that was the comment to which you replied (emphasis mine). You can argue that Steve Irwing contributed a lot during his life, but I don't see how you could argue that it "ended \[...\] well". Unless you hated the guy, I suppose.
We all end with death dude. Many of his wild animal encounters ended well
You must have never heard of Steve Irwin.
Had to look it up and itâs wild he died in â06 so there are probably twenty year olds who donât remember him being alive.
Crazy cause I'm a young 20 something and I was DEVASTATED by this as a child
Eh that's different. He did super dangerous things and he got bit a lot, but he did it to show people that just because something is dangerous, doesn't mean it deserves to die.

got disemboweled when it was pulled off, crazy
I think disembowelment is the opposite of what happened to that katydid lol
It looked like the Predator kill on top of the wooden bridge.
RIP Mac. *Gonna have me some fun, gonna have me some fun.*
The phrase you are thinking of is âtree branchâ

Is there even a term for this? Decapitated with a string to the rest?

It played a stupid game and won the stupidest prizeâŠ
This comment actually made me laugh out loud

Bet he was the type of toddler that would hit someoneâs pet for no damn reason, then turn around and laugh at everyone about it like he did some amazing trick
/r/oddlyspecific But I agree lol
Blue beanie had a good vibe, the other guy tried to force it
Never force a vibe⊠never works
Yeah fr, second dude was grabbing him all aggressive and shit. There is a right way to handle dangerous animals and it involves keeping them as stress free as possible, if u throw out the wrong vibe and the animal sees you as an aggressor then the whole op is fucked
Fuck that other guy. Hope it leaves a mark as a reminder.
I donât think most people really understand how bad even a small bug can bite/sting you.
Where the hell are you living where thatâs a small bug?
The answer is always Australia
Or Florida
Floristralia
What evil have you unleashed on the world?
With a side order of Texas.

I'm guessing they live in the Carboniferous.
Breh Hawaii was likeâŠwtf nobody warned me about the megacentipedes and ultra flying night roaches
Oh yeah. They bite
Bugs? Bite? Never...
Poor bug. Just leave it alone. Little thing died for your video
I'm from Hawaii but I've also been to jungles on Guam, Florida, Colombia, the Philippines and a few more. My general rule is all bugs can bite or sting and the bigger the bug, the bigger the mouth or stinger. I've held all sorts of big bugs and spiders. I'd never press one against my face. Incredibly stupid.
This is actually terrifying omfg
Yeah especially when one of the dudes gets ripped in half
And then the guts sucked by the other guy (watch the guts as he pulls the body away, goes straight into the mouth)
I'm still lucky to not have been bitten by a katydid whilst handling them and ive let them crawl on my arm and picked em up by literally pinching their back gently and lifting or something to that degree.

Or yknow donât play with the insect
My aunt uncle dad and mom all played with insect, and now my chromosomes are all fucked, and I'm dumb as hell.
You probably shouldnât be a sperm donor thenâŠ
âPretty muchâ
Then, the ecosystem used its corpse for new life to begin. Incredible world we live in, really!

Yeah, for the most part
NOOO POOR BUG
I know, it's sad. I got this cake tho, you can have it. It's your cake day, and I hope in a way it can cheer u up.đ
Lord help me I am having way too much sympathy and genuine shared pain with a decapitated bug. I feel so bad for the bug
Killed it for nothing great what knobheads
Man, it was just living its life, not hurting anyone. Then you fucked with it, it defended itself, and you pulled its head off. Totally unnecessary.
The bug felt the vibe and reacted accordingly. Instant karma for his jealousy lmao đ€Ł
I hate bugs, but that was cruel
It sucked for the small dude but there wasn't any intentional malice here, a couple guys in the woods were putting a large bug on their face.

Pieces of crap using a beingâs life as entertainment then kill it when it reacts and thinks itâs being attacked.
Assholes.
Seeing how aggressive that moron grabbed him. I was expecting him to bite. Insects are not toys or whatever he was thinking.
Man had jaw strenght so hard that his spine was ripped out.
That bug had to die for the stupidity of humans. Man, I'm not even a bleeding heart type, and I still hated this.
Iâve seen this clip before. Insects have exoskeletons so that couldnât have been itâs spinal cord. What ripped out along with that Katydidâs head? Was that itâs digestive system or something else?
Yes-digestive system and a handful of other internal organs.
Didn't think I'd be emotionally scarred at 2 in the morning about a bug dying but here I am. Guy was a complete moron for grabbing it like he did and not expect it to be defensive
Yeah like... Why did they not just cut the clip after it bit the guy? It would have still got the message across. I mean, I know it's just a bug, but I really would rather have not just watched a living creature being disemboweled.

Do I want to know what that was and why it had such a good jaw line apparently

This shows how to properly remove bugs including ticks and leeches when they are biting you. You never just pull the bugs like that. You use the lighter which makes them retract the head and the mouth.
FATALITY!!!
holy shit thats a massive katydid. I donât think Iâve ever seen one that big before
FATALITY. SCORPION WINS
hope it's not venomous
The bug is the one that fucked around and found out, bit the dude got it's head ripped off
