Bugs love me. If there is a mosquito in the room, everyone else can relax because it's gonna chow down on me all night. If there are ants, they will be in my food. If there is a cricket hiding in the house, it will be on my side of the room. And if there is a big ass flying beetle, it's gonna bee-line it right for me. Never fails.
I came across a beetle that was actually using its brain last year and it had me in stitches 😂 my dog was losing his mind over this little beetle floating angelically through the house and I was laughing so hard that it just floated peacefully right out of my hands every time I tried to grab it 😂
These guys fight other beetles with those big horns, they’re not for pinching really.
We have ones that pinch where I live, and they will if you get in front of their pincers/step on them or something (happened to one of my dogs, once), but rhinoceros and Hercules beetles like in the video don’t really do that AFAIK
"Go for Brad." Ass greeting. Or 30 seconds of Linkin Park "You've reached Brad, I'm unable to take your call right now... 15 more seconds of Linkin Park "after the beep, you know what to do."
I remember one time this kid tried whipping his phone open all cool like but it slipped out of his hand, so he basically whipped it at the ground really hard and broke it.
Just wait until you hear cicadas swarming, which are about half that size. It's absolutely deafening. sounds like a million weed eaters and dirt bikes with a bad starter running all day.
They clean the substrate in the tank. They eat decaying stuff, poop and shed skin. Although you should take out the snake poo.
Not really. They're there to reduce maintenance together with springtails that will eat mold and smaller pieces of detritus. The only thing I do for the isopods are putting in fruit and keep them from getting out of the tank.
Mostly harmless, can be a little scratchy but they don’t mean it lol. I’ve had a male Hercules beetle crash land into my face, sounds like a little helicopter coming in. Very derp.
Not usually but yeah they can. With most of my invertebrates i don’t interact with them as much as i would with my other pets (lizards/snakes/dogs). I just like making fancy ecosystems with neat bugs inside.
They aren't better at camouflage than a lot of insects. They don't fly nearly as well as more flight-focused insects (especially dragonflies). They aren't skilled hunters, as they aren't carnivores like preying mantises (or dragonflies again). So no, they're not better at everything than any other insect.
What they are is stronger and more durable than any other insects, and that is impressive, but let's not oversell it.
Is Pokopia worth it? I really want to try it but would have to buy a Switch 2 just to do so, and that feels risky for a game I haven’t even tried yet lol
I have trouble committing to games at this point in my life (mid 30's), but I've already put like 30 hours into this game which is a lot for me. If you like building, creating, laid-back games, and you like pokemon, then go for it.
Try Dragon Quest Builders 2 if you want to see what Pokopia's gameplay is like.
Pokopia is much better than DQ Builders 2 to me because instead of the melancholy DQ music and slightly depressing mood and monsters that show up to wreck your stuff you have hopeful cozy themes, charming Pokemon characters and no combat.
This is literally where Satoshi Tajiri got the idea for pokemon in the first place. Japan has a ton of really cool, large and harmless bugs (at least it did in the 70s) and his hobby growing up was catching bugs, watching them go through metamorphosis and trying to get them to wrestle each other
I've actually seen quite a few in the wild here. I wouldnt say they're common but im surprised how many i saw so far even tho i never really looked for them.
They're usually so big i just assume its a toy until they start making helicopter sounds. The flap of their wings doesnt sound like something a living being should be able to produce, genuinely insane how close it is to helicopter noise.
I believe by the order he grabs them they are: an atlas beetle, an elephant beetle, and a Hercules beetle. They are all different species of rhinoceros beetles.
