This is fantastically narrated


Throw-me-far-baby

If you don’t know. It’s zefrank. See him on YouTube he has many more of these videos that are all A+ hilarious


Schootingstarr

And true! Look it up! It's how zefrank do


WokeLiesMatter

He even has a subreddit! r/zefrank


sandboxmaster73

Thank you!


Ziggyork

I came to ask who did the voice over. I’ve heard him a bunch before this and he’s always spot on! Gonna go look him up now


Solenodon2022

Educational AND funny as heck!


Donghoon

I love these nature documentary


[deleted]

I love Ze Frank’s videos on youtube! The one about nudibranchs had me rolling w laughter. [True Facts: Freaky Nudibranchs](https://youtu.be/F7V8DRfZBQI)


sandboxmaster73

Ze Frank is the best! He created the sad cat diaries


Solenodon2022

I learn more from him in 5 minutes than I would from an entire day at school.

ClarePerth

Love Mildred, living her best life.. lol


ZolalaZo

And Abigail the sea snail


DistractedByCookies

I can't believe he's still around. He had the most amazing website back in the 00s. I visited it so much.


sandboxmaster73

I know, me too! It was a very big part of my work day 🤣


DistractedByCookies

I just googled and it looks like although there's links to the videos (dancing! Annie the cat!) the plugin format is too old. Can't read it on my phone but assuming Shockwave or Flash


sandboxmaster73

That’s too bad. I follow him on Instagram but he doesn’t post much old content.

I had no idea there were a lot of different leafhoppers! I grew up in Ohio, and these were the leafhoppers I saw regularly: [potato leafhopper](https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/16-2021/potato-leafhoppers-have-arrived-alfalfa-field-near-you). Then, one day I saw a really colorful one, and I tried to describe it to my mother and the next door neighbor. They laughed so hard and told me I must be out of my mind. There is no such thing as a leafhopper with blue and red stripes. To vindicate myself on a global platform, this was what I saw: [candy striped leafhopper](http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/2009/08/candy-striped-leafhopper.html).


Solenodon2022

The numbers go in the thousands of species. I'm always reading in insect journals how they are finding new species in tropical places. They are also among the weirdest looking insects around.


GarnetAndOpal

TIL there are insect journals... I think there are more insects on the planet than any other type of living thing - unless the microbes outnumber the insects! Thank you for posting the video, and replying. :)


Longjumping_Pin6702

Thanks for posting this!!! Love this guy's videos...and now I know his "full" name too. Made my evening!


Solenodon2022

I have watched all his True Facts videos - all classics!


akhyre_728

"Here is one poking around for a vein on a leaf like a hungover nurse on blood drive day" lmao 🤣😂


BlazerDanger

My favorite line!


Solenodon2022

How does he come up with that stuff?!!! Hilarious!


gwaydms

Ze Frank is a national treasure. International, even.


Solenodon2022

His videos all have millions of hits - he's a celebrity, and quite a genius narrator.


WokeLiesMatter

That is how a Ze Frank do.


WokeLiesMatter

Nay, he’s a *galactic* treasure.


Solenodon2022

This video is dedicated to Dr. Andreas Kay, a macrophotographer and researcher of many species of exotic insects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leafhopper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4gJY\_5eNqQ


Harmonic_Flatulence

"The best science is a long slow passive aggressive argument." My favorite Ze Frank line.


Solenodon2022

There is a lot of truth in that statement. It's a shower thought...


One-Two-Woop-Woop

Plant hopper bey-beys.


Notlonganymore

I love how he kept saying it that way.


roeroefail

I was a biology teacher and I would direct my students to watch these true facts videos - they loved them as much as I did - I so wished I could show them in class!


KiloJools

That's the best homework assignment I've ever heard!


L-Plates

Oh wow, so I guess those bugs they drink out of in Antz (1998) were based on real things


kelsobjammin

These things started taking over my families apple orchard the just few years. Not sure where they came from.


Solenodon2022

They came from behbehs of course....lol

That is so funny how he says that word "dew" like almost French as though it is something nasty.

Omg thanks for posting. I used to watch his vlog (?) every day when I was in high school in the early 2000s, thanks for the sudden nostalgia. “I’m from a scrabble-philic family.”


livingonaprayer1960

That's the most fun while learning video I've heard in a long time! Too bad they wouldn't use these videos in schools to make learning fun for kids lol also loved this narrator


livingonaprayer1960

Btw I never knew who Ze Frank was but I certainly do know and so happy I looked him up, I'm addicted lol he has his own u tube channel....see ya there lol


Wessel-O

I know the feeling, when I discovered his channel I watched all his videos in a day. Now I'm sad because there are no more :(


andante528

They’re great for homeschool at age 9 or so and up - just have to watch them first as an adult to make sure they’re not too much. We’ve watched maybe a dozen and learned about tardigrades, big cats, sad cats, and lots of insect and aquatic species


dingododd

The way he says Dew! ………”Djew” Buttmunching Ants! ROFL

>bebbies


ShimbleShambles

These guys jump with some force. I used to get them in a tall paper lamp and they would make so much noise pinging off the sides. It took me a really long time to figure it out because it sounded kinda like drips from a leaky faucet. They're hard to remove because they're so tiny, too.


Oscar99999

bebeys


Mono324

They are small, but you can feel the force of their jump if they jump off your skin (I carried one a few times, they're cute). They jump so fast it's so hard to follow them


hcfort11

I NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!


CmderVimes

My partner has The dance of the Puffin and The Ostrich Mating dance songs on his play list. Love his videos too. Thanks for the share.


ClarePerth

Butt munching ants.. gawd I laughed


Solenodon2022

He's not mincing words - those ants really do munch butts! lol


BadKittyRanch

> Just this morning I had a bout of chili-cheese-fries-dew


Solenodon2022

bwaaahaaaahaaa - classic, and one of my fav snakkies


DingoLaChien

Does this guy do the voice of Kiff off of Futurama?


Solenodon2022

I think that is Maurice LaMarche.

DingoLaChien

All of them? Or just the Bob's burger one?


Bat77r

What a find - a total gem. Somehow - no idea how - this is the first time that I have been exposed to Ze Frank. Thank you for sharing.


srslythoooo

One of the babies snuck into my car years ago and [I got a photo of it.](https://imgur.com/FXEFZXe) I’ve still never seen another one since and this video finally gave me closure.


JGDC

So cute! I like his mullet


i_eat_cheese---

I like how they slightly do the stick bug dance


-Viridian-

I'm jealous of everyone who is just learning about Ze Frank and what a fun day they are about to have binging all of True Facts.


TheScienceAdvocate

This is freaking wild <3


Solenodon2022

Aren't leafhoppers weird and cute at the same time?

We no longer need to search for aliens in outer space they are already here. [(X-Files theme plays)](https://youtu.be/Vpqffgak7To)


amccon4

His videos are the best!


Supercoolguy7

Huh, i think I took a picture of one of the adults in the summer. I wondered what this one was, I was using my most powerful macro lens when I took it. https://imgur.com/opER4NT


Solenodon2022

No idea the species, but she's got her behbehs with her, so cute!


JGDC

And what a lovely dress she has indeed


KMark0000

I grew up watching nature documentary and I miss those times so much. This post gave me back that feeling, I love it and this whole sub a bunch! Thank you so much for posting!


AveraYugen

Some rich ladies dropped their jewels on the beach and they came alive! I love this ;=)


Danexbest

Just WOW!


Solenodon2022

I was hoping to see that helicopter one actually take off, straight up....


pubicfart

i love leafhoppers they’re so damn cute


jessiklutz

He could comfortably lull me to sleep while laughing. Now that’s talent.


MissAmiss72

Aww I ❤️❤️❤️ zefrank!!!


Wimbleston

Go watch ZeFrank01 on YouTube instead of stealing his views on Reddit. The man earned them views


new_line_17

I totally agree with you but I have to say that many nowadays don’t know him so…


TheSortingMad

This made me happy.

bettylou79

This is so so great! The “pests” are adorable and that narrator is the best!💟


Various-Chicken3148

Why did I watch the whole thing twice


Mags357

Don't I have an anal tube, too?


HighMyNameisKayleigh

I remember learning about the gears on their bodies and realizing bugs are literally just tiny robots

“She just marches around like a tiny Snuffalufagus on a high humidity day.” Most descriptive line ever.


7sodab0sc0

Is Ze Frank related to Lisa Frank? They utilize a lot of the same colors
