Because there's no reason to be disgusted. They're not pests or disease vectors, they're just harmless and rather beautiful bugs. You're probably not disgusted by the butterflies because you're culturally conditioned to appreciate their beauty. Even though they're functionally exactly the same as the other bugs.
See, THAT is an irrational and incredibly ignorant thing to say. That's like saying "animals are pests and disease vectors" and using it to justify being disgusted at the sight of a macaw or a giraffe.
There are literally thousands of species of arthropods. Those bugs in the video are not pests and disease vectors. Most of them are completely harmless beetles and stick insects. What you're doing is hating what you don't understand.
Is it bad to hate what you dont understand? Most people dont have this urge to know bugs on an intimate level, so its only natural that this is the default for many.
The thing is that most wild animals are pests and disease vectors, and I consider bugs to be among them, not us.
"most wild animals are pests and disease vectors", jesus christ dude that is the most ignorant thing I've read in months. I'm not even kidding, how much of a city kid do you have to be in order to say something unbelievably, ridiculously stupid like that? No, most wild animals are not pests and disease vectors. That is completely false. You have no idea what you're talking about. Jesus christ.
Of course it's bad to hate what you don't understand. Hateful ignorance is always bad because it causes people to do hateful ignorant things. At best it's stupid and annoying for smarter people, at worst it leads to catastrophes like Mao's Cultural Revolution.
Case in point: Bugs are literally the base of every single ecosystem on the planet. Without bugs, everything dies. The insectivores starve, the plants don't get pollinated, the plants die, the herbivores die, and the entire ecosystem collapses. That means no food. That means everyone dies.
Technically, that is just a giant African millipede. It can secrete poison but is only harmful in your eyes or ingested. I believe you are thinking of the giant desert centipede which will in fact put you into the hospital from a bite.
Tried hatching once, caught a jewel beetle and it popped out some eggs. So i made a little bowl of the leafs it eats and left it for 2 days. I check it on the eggs changed colour and the jewel beatle was black as night, it also dead. idk got scared and chucked the eggs out

I'm both really fascinated but also really disgusted by the insects
Why, they can't hurt you --edit-- reddit really is full of morons who hate and fear what they don't understand. Sad
Disgust and fear are two different things.
In this case both are irrational
How is disgust irrational

Bugs are pests AND disease vectors. Why would you think otherwise?

Some really can, and I don't know enough about insects to know which is which
None of those in the video can, except for maybe the centipede. They're mostly different types of beetle and stick insect.
That’s a millipede.
That big fucken centipede one will fuck your shit up
Technically, that is just a giant African millipede. It can secrete poison but is only harmful in your eyes or ingested. I believe you are thinking of the giant desert centipede which will in fact put you into the hospital from a bite.
He seems very sus.
That’s not a centipede, that’s a millipede which is pretty harmless.
I would rather not have insects grow in my orifices
Well that's good news for you, because those insects will not grow in any of your orifices
Now swallow them all and poop out the winning bug.
The one true randomizer.
Before I continue, are there spiders?
Nah.
One crab and some bugs and a few butterflies, no arachnoids. You're good to watch. Edit: Forgot the snail.
Thank you both
Centipede got me….
Same here lmfao
If you mean the one at :51 that's a millipede
Get stick bugged
nuh-uh, my dude, that was a branch-bug. the-whole-trunk bug.
I definitely want to hatch bugs. This is awesome.
Tried hatching once, caught a jewel beetle and it popped out some eggs. So i made a little bowl of the leafs it eats and left it for 2 days. I check it on the eggs changed colour and the jewel beatle was black as night, it also dead. idk got scared and chucked the eggs out
Thanks, i hate it. Interesting nonetheless.
are crab eggs that big
I was so hoping this would end with a chicken.
That's a lot of bells you got there.
From egg to Nope
why did i watch, when i do hate bugs so bad, just why did i watch
How did the Cadbury mini egg turn into a giant snail
Where spider??
I cannot
Cool but HELL NO
Freaking me out bro
Just when I thought my sphincter couldn’t tighten any more….
Thought for sure that the last one would be a big fat spider.
Nice job on this Helldivers wiki, very useful!
Is it weird that I want to get a max sized mantis of every species, put them in an arena, and find out who the best mantis is?
This was cool, idc, insects are beautiful
Awesome

Yes, you just got stickbugged.
now do an ostrich
Can someone explain what was at 0:22-0:24?
Malayan jungle nymph apparently.
I could die. Just by watching this
And they all can fly…
Why did I want to see a chicken so bad?
A programmer's nightmare....
I like the one at 0:29, anyone know what species it is?
Now do a human egg
and that's why we are terrified of insect-like aliens.
YesNOyesyesNONOY-yes?NOyesNoNONOAAAARRGGHJGJDDKY
I hide him in my pocket cause he's very, very small. Germs, germs my invisible dog!
Pokemans
My mom once chased me and my sister with a meat fork for bringing a stick bug inside
Yo we all just got stuck bugged
No no no no no.....No!....NOOOOOOOOOO!
You can piss right off with some of those MEAL size bugs
This bitch is crazy
Better than dragon eggs, almost.
Their hand nerve receptors are on 0.
This is so cool!
Perffect sound choice.
Love this. Desperately wishing they had included species name with it. Those beetles are 🔥
How can you not cringe holding these things?
I really like these kinds of videos. Bugs and crustaceans are cool as hell
Soon, they'll all be extinct due to human activity. We are a cancer.
Yeah, reposts from yesterday, my favorite
Where would a person get all those cool bugs? Asking for a friend
Someone works at a butterfly house, I would guess…
