@olorin4317

It’s kinda cute how it licks its bloodclaws clean though.

@brmichaelpaul

if you think this is weird, you should see what the isolated evolution has done to the homo sapiens population…

@ReadyVal

im watching a horror movie

@vikram2708

Insect bros have the same struggle…

Exploring the fascinating world of insects in Hawaii! 🦋🐝 Did you know Hawaii is home to some unique insect species? Which insect surprised you the most in this video?

@purehyper124

These are Insects not animals.

@lindaseel9986

That caterpillar must be related to Beetlejuice!

@EdZooHub-4U

Nature's circle of life in action! 🐛🍃 It's incredible to witness the intricate relationships between insects in Hawaii's ecosystem. Seeing a worm devouring a fly might seem intense, but it's just another example of how every creature plays a vital role in maintaining balance in nature.

@footfault1941

Um … Birds of paradise would not consent, I'm afraid. Not quite as elegant as they are ….

@kheankimhong

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

@hunterG60k

The fruit fly dances blew my mind, never would have expected such behavioural complexity in such tiny creatures. Very cool

@xinyidoremifeng

When you click on a nature documentary clip to relax your mind at the end of a long day –

@slitheringswamp5352

1:00 Love that the female fly steps on the male's proboscis with her front leg, like "okay buddy let's not be too hasty"

@charmaineramsden2188

Wow…What a beautiful reminder of why we need to protect our precious planet at ALL costs…🌏 💙💚💙🌏

@bkjeong4302

A caterkiller.

A shame all these insects (and basically every native land animal in Hawaii) is endangered or extinct.

@notmyworld44

I have heard it said that on his deathbed Charles Darwin disowned and renounced his foolish "Evolution" THEORY. It was likely the wisest thing he ever did.

@mr.battledroid2195

And I thought all Hawaii had were plants and bords

@flint7277

Scary ass caterpillar

@davec3651

Fruit flies are pests! Go catterpies!

@user-uu9up5tw1n

蝿を観ると、どうしても映画の「ザ・フライ」を思い出して、気持ちがザワザワします😅
現実世界では、あまり好かれていないけど、こうやって観ると蝿の生き方もシビアですね😢

@angelicone1

@albertol9654

@monkeyguy80

The caterpillar looks like an eagle claw or a devil hand grabbing prey! 🤔👍🏼

@vitalisodinaka1849

Make one of the Amazon rainforest…….the Caterpillar looks like an alien too

@aquaticnstuff7666

@robertmsoares

The last caterpillar didn't have to start eating the fruit fly from the butt.
Humiliating…

@bananaborn4785

@inSaNe_44

Wonderful!

@explorer.samrat

Insects are the "Smallest & Masterfully Artistic Creations" of nature.😊💚

@Aquinilia

The cartepillar head is like an Alien

Normal caterpillar #1: Why do we have to eat leaves?
Normal caterpillar #2: What else should we eat?
Carnivorous caterpillar: I eat flies.
Normal caterpillars: WOW!

@aaax9410

@topstory_10
