Our planet is full of diverse and fascinating creatures - many of which have strange traits and characteristics that have to be seen, to be believed. It’s no different when it comes to insects, as some of them have excelled at becoming evolutionary wonders - developing mind blowing camouflage to protect themselves in their natural habitat. Because of this, many people have opted to keep them as pets, despite the difficulties they will have.
Welcome to another episode of 4 Ever Green. If you're curious about the truly magnificent insects that people keep as pets, you will want to hang around until the very end to see an insect that is definitely not what it seems!

Basically this is a great video *but* it is *very* annoying to hear, that you have to subscribe like, and hit the bell, every 30 seconds. Every time it's said, I'm less likely to do it. Especially when I'm supposed to "get luck". Sorry but nope.
Yes I was going to say the same had to dislike the vid just cause of it
Yeaaa
I know the vid is supposed to be about the animals
They're obviously knowledgeable and they make a great video! I would definitely like and probably subscribe if it weren't for the constant pleas to do that. The "tell us in the comments" and subscriber photo thing are great ways to drive engagement, use that and one (1) reminder to like and subscribe and you're golden!
Yes it is. Glad im not the only one to say it
Okay so to correct them on the last one about the "Flower Mantis" category - 12:07 is an orchid mantis 12:27 is a spiny flower mantis 12:31 is a wandering violin mantis 12:38 is a metilia (sp) dead leaf mantis 12:43 back to the spiny flower mantis 12:45 orchid mantis again you'd think they'd bother to do their research. if someone got these as pets and didn't know they were different species, the differences in diets could've potentially killed the little thing..
I still don't like how he said you can keep monarch butterflies as pets, it's abusive to keep them in captivity as they do migration
@@rainthesomber yeah ikr
Actually the one at 12:27 is a jeweled flower mantis.
Pretty sure they copied their content. Clickbait.
@@fudgenugget8763 ehh close enough look really similar
I like how praying mantis always have a epic pose
I know!! It's called a deimatic display, they try and look striking and intimidating to potential predators to deter them. Mantids are super cool because they're often a unique combination of deimatic display on the one hand, and aggressive mimicry on the other (when a predator tries to look harmless to attract prey, such as the orchid mantis Hymenopus coronatus). Frickin awesome! Check out the Devil's Flower Mantis (Idolomantis diabolica) they're unreal.
I have a pet praying mantis! It is so cool! I have a KZhead channel about insects, and I have filmed it on there...
@@thecreatureverse That's wicked! Lucky lol they're illegal to have as pets where I live. I'll check out your channel though!
@@Doorsfan13 Thanks!
Orchid Mantis looks like White Tripod monster from the Back Rooms!
I had a Praying Mantis as a pet once. They're a great pet to have because they're low maintenance and exceptionally affectionate. Dead serious. I'm not joking.
Wow. I would never have thought so. Thank you for saying.
i have too i having 10222 mantises xd im from slovakia
Affectionate how?
I used to have a praying mantis but it died
This makes me want a praying mantis even more. But i cant get one yet and i have a list on why 1. I have 8 cats 2. I have a rlly small apartment and im moving out soon 3. Idk where get one 4. Idk which kind to get 5. I'd be WAY too sad when it dies
Heres a fact about luna moths: They dont have mouths, or a digestive system, so they just starve to death so they only live for a week, but because they dont have a digestive system they cant feel the pain. They live longer when they’re a caterpillar.
Oh my god, poor lunars ☹
@@angelarhiannebendanillo6817 yeah..
Now I'm sad :(
I wonder what biological purpose they have, then... Poor Luna moths 😔💔
They are so adorable it’s sad that they can only live for a week D:

Omg, Kermit, I'm dying!! 🤣🤣
I've had a lot of mantids and they are really cool and fun to keep as pets, I lived in an area where during spring or summer you could find them all over your yard. They are easy to care for, just keep them in a nice enclosure with water some places for them to hide and climb on, and of course food. It also helps to take a spray bottle and just gently mist their enclosure maybe once a day or every other day, just to keep them humid. For food, I've tried a few different foods and the best food to get them in my opinion is crickets. They are easy for them to catch and are cheap, they also can vary in size, so if you have a smaller mantis you can get smaller crickets, and if you have a bigger one, you can get bigger crickets. Another thing is, mantids can of course bite, their mouths are very fascinating to look up close at, but I have never had one bite me. I have had a feisty female before but still, she never bit me. I've heard that it doesn't hurt that much, kind of feels like a gentle pinch or tingle. Since they have long sharp pointy things on their front legs, or their "praying hands", I have been poked a few times, and I will say it hurt the first few times because I wasn't expecting it but I think I was being a little dramatic because after a while it just feels like like a little pinch. I hope this helped if you are looking to keep one as a pet!

Monarch butterflies technically aren't endangered anymore they are considered to be of "special concern" since the efforts of some humans are the only reason they aren't endangered currently when they were only a few years ago. They also can't technically be kept as pets (aside from the caterpillars) due to their yearly migrations.
Just don't keep them then at any stage.
Nice, I have been worried about them. I'm from Columbus Ohio and I remember as a kid in the 90s I use love seeing those big butterflies every spring and summer.
I remember when I stole a bunch of caterpillars and cocoons cuz they were getting killed inhumanely. Took em home with me and set them free in my backyard.
moths and butterflies don't live that long, about 2 weeks. so don't get too attached to them (unless you consider the caterpillar stage a bonding phase)
Hi I have raised over 500 monarchs since September. At this moment I have 113 that are caterpillars so I'm trying to help the environment. They were mentioned to be going extinct and I asked how I see them everyday😅They are beautiful 😍 💗 ❤
The lesson of the video? MOTHS ARE CUTE TOO.
Always as been
Always will be
I hate moths, I'm scared of them. 10.000 grasshoppers, but not one single moth.
@@karavallow1982 why?
@@seanbelli4705 Some fears are irrational. So is mine.
I would've loved to see a disclaimer to let people know that some of these creatures are quite rare/endangered such as the flower mantis, some variations of this mantis can be kept as pets such as the orchid mantis but they are almost always wild caught. When buying insects it is best to buy from a reliable breeder to prevent diseases and such. Unless it's species that plentiful in the wild then I'd say go ahead. Species such as for example the orchid mantis are starting to decline in the wild hence making it important that whatever specimens there are in the wild stay in the wild. Keeping insects is also not as easy as it sounds. Some have very specific needs like any other animal. I'm once again coming back to the mantis because this video shows a lot of cool shots of a mantis eating life prey and while this is good enrichment for them it's also not recommended as your mantis might get harmed in the process. It's best to incapacitate the insect you plan of feeding your mantis first so you're sure it won't harm your mantis.
Jeez lady u sure had a lot to say😂
Nice video. One little mistake I caught was when you're talking about the Atlas Moth. At 8:38 - 8:43, that is actually a Cecropia Moth. Not quite as large as the Atlas, but still a very large moth with a five to seven inch wingspan. It's North America's largest native moth.
I had one that decided to live on some micro tomato plants on my farm last year. It was very beautiful.
He also showed Eurycantha calcarata a couple times in the section for ‘spiny stick insects’, which are Extatosoma tiaratum. Two very different species!
I've noticed that this channel doesn't care that it delivers false information. If they get the viewership, why should a little thing like "Truth" get in the way?
I saw a 2 foot moth once🤯
I’m pretty sure the cecropia, or the royal walnut moth, is the heaviest. I’m pretty sure the largest is the Polyphemus.
I'm from South Africa and haven't seen a flower mantis but are definetly going to search for them
I have a giant Asian mantis and he isn't harmful so if u ever come across 1 don't be scared to pick it up their very gentle to

If you didnt see them that means their camouflage is working 😂

9:36 - the poodle moth is a very cute moth!! If you want a cute looking moth like that that’s not so rare a good option is silkworms/ domestic silk moths! They look almost identical and are adorable aswell!!
Does it have a mouth? Most moths lose their mouths and the ability to eat after evolution and they have a limited energy supply.
@@JacobAwsum silkmoths dont have mouths. they also live for 1-2 weeks so its a heartbreak owning them
I'm just gonna say this- When you were talking about the poodle moth you showed several images of different types of moths- the one with yellow on the front isnt a poodle moth and is actually a virginia tiger moth. And there were a few silkworm moth images in there as well. Just letting you know. I still love this video though ^^
The Venezuelan poodle moth has been turned into a pokemon. This pokemon being frostmoth.
*F R O S M O T H* *I S C U T E*
Knew I recognized it.
S.N.O.M and yes I knew poodle moth was frosmoth
Sunset Moth and the Luna moth, are beautiful! Thank you ! ☘️☘️
I had an injured ladybug for 9 months once. I loved watching it. My granddaughter & I love ladybugs. 💕🐞
Luna moths come in so many patterns! They're so beautiful! I see them often here in Florida.
The Monarch Butterfly. I was amaze when about 5 years ago, I was going to the shore and was driving almost to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware when I saw a swarm of Monarch Butterflies! I was amazed since we were on a major highway almost to Rehoboth and they were everywhere. Apparently it was part of their migration route. It was so cool. And yet an odd dichotomy. Because even though they were beautiful, seeing THAT many gives you the shivers.
@Elizabeth 😂😂😂
12:08. Not to be a pessimist, as I love the channel very much, but he said: "to stop prey eating it". You might have to put captions on to hear it or look at the sentence again to see it, but prey doesn't eat it, it eats prey.
To stop predators from eating it.
That’s right, “prey” is (are) the food that is (are) eaten.
3:19 That mantis just took the concept of french kissing to a whole new level.
I remember raising Monarch larva into butterflies then releasing them in 2nd grade. I loved that! 🦋
The Atlas Moth is what we called here in the Philippines a Mariposa .
“Mariposa” is the Spanish word for “butterfly” in many Latino countries. The moth is NOT a butterfly.
@@BobbedMcBob -_-
@@BobbedMcBob well yeah, except the butterfly IS paruparo in the Philippines and Mariposa IS a moth, just because it came from another language doesn't make it wrong when it's used different in another language.

11:42 "To stop prey from eating it" D- Do you mean predators-
Yeah
Lol
Wonderful video 👌👌👌👌 thanks
God really is an artist ❤️
Yep. Beauty beyond the stars, and here on earth as well.
Such beautiful creatures! I had no idea there are so many different moths & mantis'. Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but I find it interesting that the female flower mantis is prettier than the male. Usually it's the opposite.
actually, there are many different types of flower mantids, and the ones I keep are almost indistinguishable in colour for both sexes!
That's due to birds! Most make birds are brighter colours for mating etc, while females are darker to help keep the nest hidden

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY AND MANTIS
When I was growing up as a child in Seattle Washington I seen tons of monarch butterflies flying through my yard every summer!! I still see them from time to time they are so beautiful!! The flower praying mantis are absolutely amazing they probably are one of the most stunning insect on earth!! I really enjoyed the video about the most beautiful insects 👍 can you make a video of the most beautiful fish in the world if you haven’t done one thank you
Hey dude, liking the videos so far, really well done and also a lot of information well explained. Bit of constructive critisicm tho, try to decrease the little pauses you have inbetween sentences, it really helps with the flow of the video
I turned away so I'm not sure, did i see a hummingbird with a praying mantis? WHO would do that? I love hummingbirds.
6:43 Narrator: do you have a pet at home that would love unlimited access to food? let us know in the comment section. Me: yeay, its Biological name is "LITTLE BROTHER"
I usually skip past videos that use the subscribe for luck, but this one, I’ll give an exception I love insects
Right when he said if you were a luna moth and stay up late I put a thumbs up for how late it is
That Venezuelan poodle moth looks to be posing with Tom Hanks rather than a scientist. It's gorgeous.....drop dead stunning.
some insects can be so amazing , so colorful,
The moths are absolutely beautiful
They sure are!!! 🐛
I've always had awe, respect, and a bit of trepidation around praying mantis, but now that I've seen one taking down a humming bird, all of that went up, especially the terror part.
I had a praying mantis as a kid. My family named him Valery. He used to dance to music by swaying back and forth. We fed him hamburger and crickets & he'd catch flies and mosquitoes that got inthehouse.
The best treatment so far I spend more on feeding wildlife than food. I enjoy watching God's creation every morning. Free entertainment I must remind you, do not stop when you start feeding them. They depend on you, especially through the cold of winter, when they alone can not find much. Thank you for your post -
When I was young, I caught a orchid mantis, I let it free in the wild and I didn't know it was a rare species
3:29 glitch in the matrix
I saw a green butterfly that on my balcony window and at my school I saw a very big butterfly bigger then me and my brother is was from the green area it had grey Color and black Color very beautiful
Great video. This inspired me to make a video about a Luna moth.
Me: *Is angry bc you said you can keep a praying mantis and a stick insect- but it's illegal in Maryland in North America. ;-;*
That's tuff dude

Wait... did that praying mantis snatch up a hummingbird? Wow. Awesome and freakishly strong insects lol.
Yes unfortunately. I found a big one on my hummingbird feeder. I gently relocated it to a bush.
So many interesting insects
Those mantises are beautifull....
The preying mantis is so savage!!!
Please don't use the word "savage", it's an offensive word to native Americans and is technically a slur.

@@greengoblinboy585 Please... get real. Savage isn't a slur, its an adjective.
@@WolfanTerror it's 2021.... Everything is offensive🙄. Sorry if that offended you
@@haunteddreams7856 It's stupid
The Luna Moth is my favorite insect. I always wanted to keep one as a pet.
The moth at 8:44 isn't an Atlas, it's a Cecropia.
Wow...... Amazing....
Hey, I hope your life would be full of love from the lovely pets 😘
Yay! Insects!!!! I love my lil creepy crawly buddies!!!
The monarch butterfly is a dicey way to go. There are very strict things you have to do in order to keep them and you have to let them go eventually I believe.
One sunny afternoon two monarchs flew near an open window, upon the sill a radio was playing a catchy tune, whilst fluttering in place the two monarchs turned their antenna to translate butterfly. When the song ended the monarchs learned the name of the band ‘The Beatles’, oh wonderful singing insects and yes, these two madcap lovers would indeed follow the singers request, “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road”, however, I was watching them and carried them to roadside oasis.
The only insects I can hold are flies and tiny beetles, yall are brave to hold a bug that big, I'd go run screaming 🤣
Im lepidopterophobic, why is this recommended to me. I nearly got a panic attack
When I was a kid I had venezuelan poodle moth caterpillar. Or Bombyx mori or silk worm. They exist in Europe as well. I live in a Greek island . I fed them mulberry leaves,then they built a white yellowish silk egg . And later on some of them will be a moth. I brought one white moth at the school once . When we are kids we don't afraid or disgusted of anything.....

@@indonesia5410 ur my subcriber
Enjoyed the video - nice to see some film of moths and butterflies. I'm not sure whether they could or should be kept as pets purely from the fact I've heard that their wings are covered in tiny scales and touching them would surely damage their ability to fly. I love moths and butterflies but wouldn't dream of touching them for this reason.
Me too. I always have this in mind when telling children not to touch them, lest they not be able to fly where they need to to meet others the same too.
Having something as a pet doesn't mean you need to touch them. You wouldn't want to touch an Old World Tarantula but many people still keep them as pets.
Really you shouldnt touch their wings either way, they are very thin and without them they can't do much of anything However as long as you avoid the wings holding them is rather harmless! Especially since most larger moths are less likely to just fly off it's relatively simple to just left them come to you
Omg the tree hopper is so adorable
My fav is the Atlas Moth
They‘re beautiful but I have an insect phobia :(
For some reason I always like touching katydids because when they are in the car they look like they are teleporting after touching and flying away
I really like katydids and I think there pretty cool but sometimes I'm reluctant to hold them because ive been bitten by them like a lot and it hurts.
Nature is unique. I really liked the video. Thanks very much
People are crazy animals deserve to live where they belong. If you love animals you respect them. You observe them in nature
I like photographing or videotaping bug, butterflies, moths all insects I prefer them to be in the wild not as pets. Enjoy this post.
As a kid in Brazil, me, my sister and friends would always catch the Membracis Mexicana, the black and white kind, here we call them “viuvinha” (little widow) or soldadinho (little soldier). We wold take them home and try to raise them, feeding lettuce, it never worked though, they would die after a couple of days. But they never bit me or anyone I know.
eu tambem. criava uma casa "perfeita" com folhas, mas elas sempre desapareciam
I personally keep jumping spiders, and highly recommend them as pets. They are highly intelligent little creatures, and are very fun to watch!
00:05 that beetle is really beautiful.

Thank you, I just discovered that one of my pinned specimens is the Sunset moth ! Thought it was a butterfly. I'm hoping to encourage monarchs to my garden in SW France. I will need to cultivate an area of Milkweed.
