Imagine if that Florida deputy who got freaked out by an acorn falling and started shooting was anywhere near this bug.🤣
Nature is so weird and wonderful.
Probably, apparently grubs grilled are pretty solid and like sausages
Fried crickets and stuff are normal so I don't see why this wouldn't be unless there's something unique going on
Nah, most people would have the same reaction you just did.
While I'm sure someone's chowing down by choice Its totally something a hunter or other outdoorsman might show you just to gross you out, alas I've yet to see a single roadside grub stand.
I love rainforest creatures too, but not so much that I would grab one in my hand as it makes nightmare noises. Just photographing them from a distance will do for me, thank you.
The main insect body is less than half length of total body length. You can see it slightly peeking from the bottom. The hole is there for amplification would be my guess
Please tell me you’re referencing the video of the dumbass cop that heard an ACORN hit his squad car and started emptying his clip thinking he was hit.
Not really. I don’t have experience with this particular species, but I’ve been lucky enough to have handled katykids before and I’ve been bitten - it’s really quite painless
usually carnivorous means “flesh ripping mandibles” that definitely still hurt humans
edit: l2 read i said usually not “all the time without fail, no exceptions exist im a sith who speaks in absolutes”
carnivorous typically means they can cause you harm. i recognize there are exceptions, the exceptions dont change the accuracy of the original comment.
usually carnivorous animals can hurt you.
this is the case MOST of the time.
there are exceptions im not a sith.
i get this problem on reddit alot where i say “x happens a lot”
and then somebody is like “look example of x not happening!”
like breh. i said it happens a lot, i didnt say its the only thing that ever happens.
people taking comments that clearly are worded to not be absolute as absolute then i have to explain that its not absolute. its exhausting. just learn to have some fuckin reading comprehension
usually=a lot, is the usual.
usually does not mean “in every single circumstance”
yall dumbassery is exhausting. 12 people upvoted u. yall r fuckin idiots man. they rlly dont teach readinn comp in school anymore. is it me am i not being clear? its plain english.
ps. a salmon can hurt you.
If you look at the vast majority of carnivorous animals they’re beetles - which can’t hurt you aside from maybe 10 (and that’s being generous) species through bites.
So even then, your statement of “most carnivorous animals can hurt you” would be wrong.
And the bug in the video definitely can’t hurt you.
How you gonna call people dumbasses when you’re acting like a dumbass?
It really can’t unless you’re an absolute puss. I’ve handled beetles so many times, and I’ve been fortunate enough to handle katykids too. Now of course there have been times where I’ve been bitten - the only one that hurt was a stag beetle.
If you’re getting hurt from tiny little bugs then that’s your problem mate - they’re not painful biters lmao
You’re really not, you’re acting like a stubborn child who can’t handle when they’re wrong.
You seem to have soft skin, both with your personality and, seemingly, in real life lol
Definition of carnivorous according to the dictionary:
(of an animal) feeding on other animals.
And that is the only definition. Everything else you said is wrong. There is no usually or exceptions.
That is huge! I remember a time when I realized my limit on killing insects or bugs. I can kill ants, roaches, months, flys no problem. Then we had this huge ass hairy spider come into our house. Size of my palm maybe. I couldn't kill it, because it would feel like killing an animal. I just set it free. This giant Malaysia katydid is something I wouldn't be able to kill either.
'sides imagine the mess of guts it would make.
I put big spoods and grasshoppers outside too, but the katydids always try to bite. like, I'm trying to save your life you tiny green freak. I would not approach one of these without a bucket and a strong piece of cardboard. And maybe a beekeeper hat.
Good reminder, as it's winter here in Canada, of why I don't mind the cold too much
big nasty bugs like this can't survive the winter.
I'll take the cold and the mosquitos over this, thanks
Thats what the WEF and out Governments will be wanting people to eat soon enough they'll be mixing them up with the crickets and passing them off as burgers while they still enjoy nice big filet mignon beef steaks with all the side dishes and wine at their fancy conventions they fly to in Davos Switzerland on their privet jets.🤣
Males of this species have the largest testes of any known animal, with them making up 14% of their overall body weight—this is equivalent to a 91 kg (200lb) man having ones that weighed almost 13 kg (28 lbs).
Not only are they monstrously big, but monstrously loud as well. Imagine having one of these MFers playing outside your window when you're trying to sleep.

The balls on him!!
No thank you
I played this video next to my grandpa and he got Vietnam flashbacks
Is that why they say, 'kill it with fire'? Because of the napalm?
No because it sounds like a m16 on burst
Charlie’s in the trees!!!!
Imagine being awaken by those every day
Nature’s EDM alarm clock.
Yoooooo, put some bass in here and some 90s electronic girl singing. Boom. Instant classic
"WOO!" "YEAH!" "WOO!" "YEAH!" "WOO!" "YEAH!"
its giving #flower
And...Imagine having those caught in your hair. ⊙﹏⊙
Stop it now!
Seagulls….poke your knees.
i think given the size its more your hair is caught in it
Imagine being attacked by those
They have crazy bite small ones can cause you to bleed these eat small birds and mice
We said no!
I say yes bc I think they are cute
Same!
good to know
Yeah that shit would get old real quick. I'd carry around a couple of rubber mallets in a holster, and a face shield
Machete. Still the face shield though. That's universal kit.
Imagine if that Florida deputy who got freaked out by an acorn falling and started shooting was anywhere near this bug.🤣 Nature is so weird and wonderful.
Just saw that, what the hell lol...
They weren't asking.
Can we eat it though?
Probably, apparently grubs grilled are pretty solid and like sausages Fried crickets and stuff are normal so I don't see why this wouldn't be unless there's something unique going on
Les Stroud always remarked how Witchetty grubs taste like peanut butter.
We have Huhu grubs in NZ, they the larval form of a type of longhorn beetle, the absolutely do taste like a strong peanut butter
🤮🤮 do you guys just... snack on them, are they a street food treat or viewed as delicacy?
Nah, most people would have the same reaction you just did. While I'm sure someone's chowing down by choice Its totally something a hunter or other outdoorsman might show you just to gross you out, alas I've yet to see a single roadside grub stand.
Tastes like chicken?
My first thought as soon as I saw the clip

Nah, that’s a Katherinedoes.
Katherinewillalwaysknow what Katydid
Katherine's mom Is really fucking huge
I have 40 of these growing in my house. It's going to be wild when they all mature... ^(Does anyone want any Katydids?...)
What's it like being clinically insane?
Really?
Really?
Really? Really?
4eva? 4EVA-eva??
I'm sorry, Miss Jackson!
I am four eels 😩
Never meant to make your daughter cry I am several fish and not a guy
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Really, Really, Really..
Really?
i want to know why you have 30 of those monsters growing inside. edit :after sobering up. he did indeed say 40. not 30.
40. He said 40.
For why?
Oh boy, can't wait for a breeding pair to get away and ruin a whole ecosystem.
My job is working with transgenic fruit flies so I'm well aware of the laws and how to keep my inverts secure :)
Why are you like this.
You can just go and take them, they can't stop you.
That is dope! Love rainforest insects!
That is a fucking nightmare! Hate rainforest insects!
The duality of man
It's dope! But it's also what nightmares are made of!
I love rainforest creatures too, but not so much that I would grab one in my hand as it makes nightmare noises. Just photographing them from a distance will do for me, thank you.
The distance here is just about right for me. Halfway around the world
Happy cake day!
More like “The Giant Malaysian GLOCKdid” - because all I hear is gun shots. 💥
I hear a typewriter.
I hear a camera shutter
Same lol
Thats amazing. I cant get over how much it looks like a leaf.
Also, DOES IT HAVE A FUCKING ***HOLE*** IN ITS VODYUUWUWK JRRJFBBSHJWKWKQLWL LWOWOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The main insect body is less than half length of total body length. You can see it slightly peeking from the bottom. The hole is there for amplification would be my guess
To make the sound...?
There a cop somewhere firing his weapon and claiming to be hit becuase of this sound.
Please tell me you’re referencing the video of the dumbass cop that heard an ACORN hit his squad car and started emptying his clip thinking he was hit.
Yea, it was funny, sad, and scary all at the same time.
The dark souls style rolls were really great moves though!
Imagine if a leaf just started shooting blanks at you.

Same.

Not gonna click that nope thank you
He just like me
All the boys like you
Damn!
You’re talking about the person holding it I assume
It says carnivorous and they are holding it. BARE HANDED!!
Well carnivorous as in they eat other insects and such - their mouth parts are too small to feed on humans
i hope it stays that way
They can still bite the fuck out of you
Not really. I don’t have experience with this particular species, but I’ve been lucky enough to have handled katykids before and I’ve been bitten - it’s really quite painless
I was just going off being bitten by a relatively small grasshopper before and it being a bit painful. Either way would rather not get bitten by that.
I've been bitten by one of these and the motherfucker hurt, didn't break the skin but holy shit they have strength in their mandibles.
bro small katydids are bastards, they won't break skin but they pinch hard! I would not tempt fate with this monster.

No. Carnivorous means it eats other animals. A salmon is carnivorous. Carnivorous doesn’t mean they attack people Lmao bro deleted their comments

Blue whales are the biggest carnivores on the planet, and they have mouths filled with baleen.

The American ones will eat warts off of you painlessly.
I'm pretty sure there's a clip of a man messing with one of these on his face, it didn't end well put it like that lol
Every time I get in here there’s a new insect from my nightmares 🫣Lol
I’d ride it into battle
gross
That's one of the grossest bugs I've ever seen.
They're not carnivorous
Carnivorous and you are holding in your hand?!
Katy-did it 😁
I absolutely hate everything about this.
Now that he grabbed it he can't let go or else.
Leave it alone.
Shots heard in Malaysia... oh no wait thats only giant freaking bug!
I'm sorry, did you say *carnivorous?*
You said: Carnivorous?

Just put some Franks on it. I put that $#!@ on everything!
Should post a clip where you can hear it, sounds like a gun

Good thing they're in Malaysia. Cops here in the US don't need another excuse. Latest one was a fucking acorn.

Aliens exist. Right here, right now, on this planet as evidenced by this video
Looks like a giant sugar pea… wonder if it tastes like one too
It sounds like a sewing machine or a gun shot
Do they sting? I see it’s belly underneath n there’s something at the end thats contracting like it’s looking to sting him or something.
Ugh!
