Bits and Pieces
That is some impressive camera work! That said, I think I’m going to be sick.
Holy balls, hymenopterans are repulsive. Good thing beetles are perfect and beautiful and never, ever gross.
Superb…what fantastic camera work.
Too bad the video didn’t talk any about the obligate PolyDNA viruses that facilitate this whole process. That’s the coolest thing about most parasitic Hymenoptera.
pretty glad i study these suckas on occasion
But I don’t understand why this happens.
Yikes. I think they should consider changing the name of this channel to “Nightmare Geographic.”
Still, fascinating, and great photography.
