Shut up Sean

How are you still alive? doesn't a box jelly kill you? Either way, glad you made it bro
@@samanthamendel7555 thanks. Yeah the ones in Australia are the super deadly ones you hear about, but the box jellies in Hawaii aren’t as lethal. You can still die from it if you get it all over or have preexisting health problems, but for most people it’s just extremely painful. Fortunately I only got one tendril warped around my foot an leg. You certainly feel like you are dying tho lol. And part of you is wishing you would
No way you got stung by a box jelly aren’t you supposed to be dead
The father is completely wrong. They do not lay eggs until they drag the prey into its burrow, they then lay one egg and cover the burrow up. Dad needs to stop being a knowitall and recognize their kid is far more aware of how these creatures interact. Good job to the kid for being up on the entymology of the material.

Saw this happen with a wolf spider once. The wolf spider was already incapacitated and the hawk was having a hard time dragging the spider. Two days ago I came upon a small centipede that a small tarantula had bitten and definitely won the battle. Looked up that scenario and the centipede usually won. Nature is harsh but very interesting and beautiful too.
Word, never heard of a wolf spider dying to a tarantula hawk though.

Fun fact: tarantula hawks inject enough venom for the tarantula to move a little and when they get tired and lazy they just leave the spider there and force it to lay its eggs by sting it repeatedly

That's the most dad thing I've ever heard. "I GUARANTEE she's trying to lay the eggs... noooo, no she's still stinging called it guys totally called it" and the mom kills me LOL, "Well I'm not happy about it! Give the thing some space for god's sake--" Also, the tarantula hawk was probably stinging repeatedly so she could see how much venom it would take to down the spider without overdoing it, since she wants to paralyze, not kill, and also not waste the venom
"It's a video, sweetie" bro 😂
When I was around the age of these kids, I stepped on a tarantula hawk. The pain was indescribable! I couldn't feel my leg and I got dizzy. My parents didn't really care as "it was just a bug bite". I am now 38 and I still have the "tattoo" left by the dark thick poison. On the next day, I was perfectly fine (still hurting tough)! But then I stepped on a nest of wasps while climbing a tree. Got 12 stings and had to jump from the tree (4m high). Let's just say I wasn't a very lucky kid... hahaha! I have other stories with much bigger stuff!
Uh huh
That's nothing compared to the shark bite on my rear end. 🦈
@@guydreamr Yeah! Impressive! I was never attacked by a shark, but I once caught one!
The parent was so wrong thruout the whole video. I love how the child had patience and understanding of the situation. This is what what expands their minds. He obviously had some knowledge of them and got to see it in action. Instead of argueing with the kid maybe next time what and see what happens and maybe don't discredit your child so much, you never know what they know

Great father. Reminds me of when I was a kid interested in insects. Also reminds me of the disappointment when my parents said we'll come back to it 😅
You can hear in the kid's final "yeah" that he already knows they won't be coming back to it. And his mum definitely sounded like the sort to say some bs 'need to get ready for school tomorrow ' excuse for why they're getting back in the car!

The tarantula is actually a male, you can tell by the tiny abdomen, the over side things in front of its face that act as "fangs". And the way it walks/stands
This looks like 2 drunk friends trying to get home.
