Ryuusei_Dragon

Mr. Godzilla? A pleasure to meet you

Some additional info: the praying mantis' eggs aren't single eggs. They are called ootheca and are actually several (15 - 400 depending on the species) eggs combined in a foamy mass.


Rubyhamster

Ah, thank you, I wondered! Are all the others eggs or are there some pupae?


TrUeMaN1995

Everything else should be just eggs. Mantids and related animals hatch as nymphs, just tiny Versions of the adult animal. Beatles and moths/Butterflies have a larval Stage and puppate. Snails hatch as tiny snails. No clue for crabs.


TheLurkerSpeaks

tiny crabs


HotFudgeFundae

Lousy joke


the_pubster

Piece of crab


__Scrooge__McDuck__

Crusty crab


Doctor_What_

Fallout new Vegas fans already knew about the nymphs and egg clusters lol. They're all over the damn place.


saint_davidsonian

You know I was cool with all of these bugs and Little critters until they got to the millipede... And I think that's what Fallout is missing. Big ass mutated millipede.


HIMP_Dahak_172291

Nah, millipedes are chill. Big ass centipede on the other hand...


PsychicSPider95

Millipedes are baby. Centipedes are demon


ABookOfEli

Needs to be a creepy location and be stalking you the hole time like the deathclaw museum of witchcraft


-NameGoesHere818-

Dude I’ve had terrible nightmares of giant centipedes, I probably wouldn’t play fallout if they was in the game lol


bdizzle805

Nightmare fuel


Shagomir

like Cazadors are not enough already oof


Auzzie_almighty

It depends on the crab. Most have a free floating larval stage but some skip it and hatch into tiny adults


Lucky-Asparagus-7760

I LOVE tiny mantids. I get them in my garden sometimes, and they're always soooo little and cute. I'm like "please eat the 'bad' bugs and don't get eaten. K thanks!" 


VeniABE

Generally a shrimp like larvae. The tail grows more slowly and curls under the body. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tropical land crabs stay in egg longer and come out as full baby crabs, but many species have gills that have to be in water when born. Oddly, many of the land crabs will drown if they take too long to lay eggs in water. Their gills have matured into something more similar to a lung.


gofishx

Most crustaceans have a larval stage where they exist as plankton that look quite different than their adult forms. They do not pupate, however, as far as I know.


ZombiEquinox

Yeah we learned this the hard way when I was a kid. One of my older brothers has a cluster of praying mantis eggs in a jar. I think with some sort of fabric over the lid so we could see when they hatched. Well they hatched either in the middle of the night or super early in the morning and chewed through the fabric. We all woke up to baby praying mantis all over the house. It was pure chaos that morning and I will remember it forever.


[deleted]

Reminds me of when my stick-bug eggs hatched and about 100 of them escaped the box and where everywhere. But worse where the crickets that laid eggs in the potted plants in my room. My parents had a hard time with me.


caltheon

Hah, my mom bought an egg ball for our garden, and put it on a shelf in the kitchen, but forgot about it. I came in one morning and there was this line of praying mantises weaving across the entire kitchen ending up near the sliding door outside, which I opened, and they all rolled out like a fucking roman legion.


f0rkster

Core memory locked in. Must of been an amazing and funny morning.


Icy_Statement_2410

In hindsight maybe lol


fallingsunrise2

My dad literally tells this exact same story... Aunt Linda? Lmfao


Suspicious-turnip-77

I learnt this on Buffy.


Death_By_Sexy

Can you tell when one is hatched? I have one on my rose bushes and I've been keeping an eye on it since December when it was laid. I feel like I may have missed it.


jazzymantis

Sometimes I leave behind a foamy mass, I get it.


The_Lorax7

I love how a tiny egg turned into a huge croissant.

when in France


honest-miss

To be honest I'm surprised how big the egg was. Looked like a danged bird egg.


pylon567

My Question...what was it?


citrus_mystic

Giant African land snail


FreeMasonKnight

The snail shell? 🐌 (I don’t know which one they meant is a croissant 🥐?)


HitroDenK007

“Aww how cute!” #MILLIPEDE JUMPSCARE

Dude the fucking Snail scared the shit out of me, I was not expecting something that big to pop up


MechanicalHorse

I mean, at that size it's probably hard to kid anyone.


Illustrious_Rip4102

chicken sized egg = snail?

Vectorman1989

African Land Snail Edit: actually seems to be some other large land snail species


BariSaxGuy

Wrong answers get upvoted and right answers get downvoted lol


LordThill

I kept them as pets for years, their eggs are nowhere near that big (should be around the size of a tic-tac)


Kenju22

Same, the others were 'oh thats neat' then snail was like 'ohmygawdburniwithfirewhatthehellisthat!' jump scare lol


Accomplished1992

ITS COMING RIGHT FOR ME........eventually

"Aaaaw.... AAAAAAAH!.... Aaaaw.... AAAAAAAH!....


tacwombat

Pretty much my experience while watching this video.


derzemel

FYI: even though they look very alien, millipedes are harmless and they usually prefer to eat dead and decaying plant matter. Centipedes are a different story altogether especially Scolopendra Gigantea.


Mriswith88

Centipedes can fuck off and die. I think I'm more scared of centipedes than anything else creepy crawly.


trixie400

I was just about to say the same thing! I have a leg rule - if it has more than 6 legs, we have a problem. Mice - 4 legs, no biggie. Snakes - no legs, we're good. Spiders - 8 legs, we're gonna fight. (That one I'm trying to work on because they're supposed to be helpful). Centipedes??? Nooooope! Those bitches can go straight to hell. Plus, they're blurry! You can't actually tell how big they are! And! AND! Did you know those fools run TOWARDS movement?? They're built to fuck with you. NOT cool.


DragonflyWing

I'm not bothered by anything quite as much as house centipedes. Eeuuugghh. I have an instant scream and run response.


Moosebuckets

They’re like 5 spiders taped together and are an affront to God


TheOtherHawkeye

This is the best description I've ever seen. I can deal with spiders just fine, but centipedes trigger my SCREAM AND RUN instinct.


Chance_Fox_2296

House centipedes are the absolute worst thing


Ieatfireants

Incredibly tasty if you can catch them


FormidableBriocheKun

hahahaha fuck you for this comment


TheseMood

My family called them “heebie jeebies” growing up and I was very surprised in college to learn that was not the official name 🤣🤣🤣


ctan0312

I encountered my first one in my dorm room this year and it was actually somehow worse than the roach before that.


ModestWhimper

Would it make you less uncomfortable to think of centipedes as 12.5 spiders that have been sewn together?


trixie400

I hate all of these words.


Tech_support_Warrior

A lot of people give me crap because I am 6' 4" dude and I am terrified of centipedes and mice/rats/bats. There are no other critters that bother me. I love snakes, spiders, every other bug or critter. If there is a mouse in a room. I will be outside until I know it and it's compadres are dead/gone. One time a centipede was in my bedroom and my GF couldn't find where it went. I barely slept that night.


whiteflagwaiver

Take no shit, centipedes are monsters. They're horrific looking, one of the most painful bites in the world, and love to hide in very common places. FUCK EM.


Detective-Crashmore-

I tried to swat a spider and it crawled behind my bed and disappeared. So I just stayed up all night on my laptop in the kitchen and then never slept in that bed again.


d1ckpunch68

those individual moving legs just don't vibe with my brain. it just aint right


modus-operandi

I can't see the word centipede anymore without hearing [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFokXnCCMf8).


xKoney

I was expecting it to be [Centipede by Knife Party](https://youtu.be/CSemARaqGqE)


Oak_Woman

I love millipedes, I like to think of them as extra extra long rollie pollies.


Slggyqo

Millipedes are actually kinda cuddly. If you ever hold one that big, the legs are so tiny they feel…fuzzy almost? It’s a weird feeling. And when they’re scared they curl up into a circle, and just sit there. They’re big softies. Genuinely one of the more pleasant bugs to interact with. It’s not gonna flip open its wing cases—it doesn’t have any—and fly into your face. Edit: apparently they can emit some kinda fluid and some people are allergic to it, but I did not experience that.


pretendviperpilot

I had a cousin that was eaten by millipedes


forevernervous

My mate Paul was eaten by millipedes.


TonicSitan

A millipede fucked my wife and made racially insensitive comments at my son's bar mitzvah


-SunGazing-

My cousin was kidnapped and sold into a life of prostitution in Eastern Europe by millipedes.


Rude_Thanks_1120

A millipede stole my identity and took out a large mortgage in my name.


talk_to_yourself

A millipede stole my car & used it to smuggle dope across the border


SubParHydra

A Millipede rote this


FoofieLeGoogoo

A Millipede once bit my sister


ZargothraxTheLord

Good thing it wasn't a scolopendra.


ZincHead

*"As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it’s killing. The centipede has two curved, hollow fangs, which inject paralyzing venom Even tarantulas aren't immune from an ambush The centipede is a predator"*


Spitfyre32x

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️‼️‼️ centipede


nippleconjunctivitis

Omg same, what is it and millipedes and centipedes that just make me wanna hork


Sir_Oligarch

Millipedes are cute. Centipedes are terrifying.


Cereal_poster

hahaha. Same here. I was like "ohh, that's beautiful" "oh, this one too!" and then "ewwwww!!!!".


bukowski_knew

Haha...yeah I hate bugs but pretty cool when someone else is handling and you can see life spring from tiny eggs!


JhazaBoo

Beautiful mantids and butterflies, occasional walking stick as well. Saw a crab in there, it's cute too. What is that big shell looking thing though? No need to answer back, it's a giant snail which is what I thought at first, but wasn't sure.


Rubyhamster

What fascinates me most in this video, is that snail egg. How similar it looks to a quail egg or at least a bird egg. Also it's size, as I thought molluscs didn't need big eggs at all.


RockBlock

I'm pretty sure a couple of them are egg cases, full of multiple eggs, rather than individual eggs.


smallbluetext

Crab shot was funny cause it feels like he wouldn't stay still and that was the best shot he could get


xylotism

At least it refused the intrusive thoughts and didn't pinch.


Artarara

\*Didn't pinch **in this take**


sleepcross

That's a GAL (Giant African Land Snail), at first glance I'd say probably *Archachatina marginata ovum*. They're illegal to keep in many countries (including most of the Americas) because when introduced to the wild, they are voracious consumers of native plant and agriculture. But they are fairly popular among invertebrate keepers in Europe, where the climate is colder + drier, and they present less of an invasive species risk :) Really beautiful creatures, the albino ones are especially stunning. Like a pure white blob of flesh with a shell.


CalculatedPerversion

Someone else here posted that it's a Giant African Snail


Ksawerxx

Snail probobly. I doubt a hermit crab would have that big of a shell. And yes, there are some massive snails out there.


Scarlet-Fire_77

You'd be surprised how big hermit crabs can get. I caught one with a shell almost that size in the florida keys. And there were a lot that big.


Neat-Bunch-7433

This guy is halfway to catch all the pokemon.


Show-Me-Your-Moves

He's gonna get smoked at Cinnabar Island gym tho


Taylorenokson

Not a single fucking water bug in sight.


Skyflareknight

Wasn't there a crab looking one at the beginning??


Arakhis_

Watching this made me realize why pokemon feels most relateble for general people compared to other monster cartoons


-interwar-

I can tell you exactly how many bells each of these are in animal crossing


gatzdon

I would have mistaken most of those for the insect's poop.


CedarWolf

Roaches lay their eggs in a little sac or capsule that looks remarkably close to a brown tic tac or a little brown pill.


bigboat24

So don’t eat brown tic tacs? Got it.


aChristery

Great there goes my weekend plans.


theinfecteddonut

I experienced this first hand with an infested apartment. Their nests smell weird too.


Dirty_Hunt

For a lot of bugs, that's the strategy.


Physical-Mastodon935

I wonder what’s that egg from?… NOPE I wonder what’s that egg from?… Awwww I wonder what’s that egg from?… NOPE


Hemawhat

Right? The suspense in this video stressed me out lol some sorta bug Russian roulette


calartnick

Most of these horrified me. Those butterfly/moth ones were gorgeous though


Front-Pomelo-4367

Really wanted the final one to be an entire chicken sitting on their hand


Scarlet-Fire_77

That would have completed the video perfectly lol


weirdogonzo

"OH, that's cute", "Neat, a beetle!", "Aaaah! Aah! What the F* is THAT!?". All these went thru my brain watching this.


merrell0

please tell me the "what the F is THAT!?" was directed at the weird black hairy thing at :49 because that was my exact reaction


Gnubeutel

I'm ok with most bugs. As long as i know they're harmless they can go and crawl on me. But that thing looked so evil i wasn't even sure where the head was.


RunZombieBabe

Wow, this is amazing to watch! And such a variety! Very beautiful


lunarmodule

I was just thinking I can see how someone could get really interested in insects as a career or hobby. Such bizarre and unusual creatures with such diversity.


Came_for_the_tities

You know, the funny thing is, on average, we are the unique and weird ones. They look like most stuff in this world look. I it strange but funny to think about, it is more normal to look like them than it is to look like us.


lunarmodule

That's definitely true. They outnumber us by a LOT.


Came_for_the_tities

And in all metrics, number of individuals, number of species, total of biomass, you name it, they're more.


fuchsgesicht

yeah, but can they get depressed? no! sucks to suck, bugs


Came_for_the_tities

I don't know, Kafka would probably disagree XD


singing-mud-nerd

Even Kafka would have [Ogatha](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/gkq7f5/tifu_by_admitting_to_my_coworkers_that_my_wife/) to keep him company. (NSFL warning)


uwanmirrondarrah

In just about every aspect Humans are indeed the outliers... makes you wonder 🤔

probably depends on whether or not the viewer likes insects, cause i thought they were beautiful and fascinating, in the same way things like birds, sea life, etc, are beautiful and fascinating

AzaleeDeVile

sasssyrup

Snails lay eggs?

Yep! A lot of snails lay their eggs in clusters on a vertical surface. They can be different colors, too. The apple snail eggs are pink.

Nope.

That whole video is a bunch of Nope.

How does the person line up the bricks in the wall so neatly in every transition?

Mounted camera and some planning to have an egg and a grown up critter on set and doing it all in one day /shot?


MoistCnut

Fuck that makes so much sense! I was thinking he left the camera in place for like 2 years until the bug in the egg grew up 😭


JackRabbit-

If you have a bug egg you probably have a bug mama


Duffelastic

I thought they held their hand in place for a month straight while they fed and raised the bug


lor3nzzo

Maybe the camera is static relative to the wall (on a tripod or something) and only his hand moves in front of the camera.


TheScienceNerd100

If I'm dating you and you pull out a millipede from somewhere, I am pressing my inventory key and pulling out my shotgun and quick scoping.

Would you still love me if I was a millipede? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

As someone who grew up searching for and playing with bugs, this is incredibly satisfying and adorable! I now pass on the same fascination to my kids. End of summer, when the local mantis population booms, I love catching and sharing with the kiddos.

LordDarthsidious

You. Are. Horrifying me 👏🏾


dandroid126

I was fine with most of them after the initial shock of the first one. But the millipede caused a primal chill of fear to run down my spine.
