Butterflies are crustaceans, but that is far from the worst piece of information that I have to share with you today. It gets SO MUCH WORSE! So what is a crustacean? Why are butterflies part of the group? And how could it get worse? Let's find out!

    When you said butterflies are crustaceans, I imagined a flock of neocaridina shrimp with wings. It was adorable 😊 and then came the tongue worm talk...
  • The algorithm just threw this video at me...the whole thing is just so gruesome and this man's unhinged energy is definitely not what I expected to see. Subscribed on the spot.
  • @Elbylicious
    Q: How often can you manage to fit tongue worms into this video about butterflies? Clint: YES
  • I love how you make sure to refrence the tongue worms essentially every paragraph. I needed that.
  • @kodabear1996
    I love how Clint can talk about animal behavior that sounds like it came straight out of a horror movie with a smile on his face!
  • @nobbie01
    This guy's genuine excitement is contagious, I absolutely love it. Wish he'd been my science teacher when I was young
  • @RB-bd5tz
    18:00 A similar kind of parasitism to the tongue worm is the mite that feeds off the bottom of an army ant's foot. The rear legs of the mite are shaped like the ant's claws, and the mite acts as the ant's foot.
  • I just wanna say that I’m autistic with a special interest in phylogenetic classification and these videos make me so incredibly happy. Thank you.
  • @shap3sh1fter
    Finally you covered the fact that insects are crustaceans. I learned that fact a few months ago when I was exploring the relations between different animal groups (because it is fun to do), and it blew my mind away when I discovered that fact. Biology is absolutely wild, and I love it!
  • @AurelUrban
    I thought you meant that butterflies are crustaceans but not insects, and I was so excited for that new phylogenetic discovery 😂 crustacea being a big group that includes all insects makes a LOT more sense.
  • @ElleriaZer
    Talking about tongueworms reminds me of how excited my first year zoology prof was to discuss parasites overall. He ended each parasite related class with "now who wants sushi?" The wacky life cycles of parasites are pretty fascinating, even if they also kinda gross me out a bit. But the things that i find most fascinating usually also freak me out a little bit, whether that's parasites, diseases, or tornadoes.
  • As a current biology major considering entomology as a masters, these phylogeny videos are the BEST thing I've come across! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
  • @ImeldaFagin
    This video is especially timely for me. I was at the dentist yesterday and wondering why, whenever a dentist starts doing their business in my mouth, my tongue becomes enraged , flails around violently and nothing I do can stop it’s movements. I try to stick it to one side of my cheek but it soon escapes and returns to attack my dentist’s fingers. It definitely has a mind of its own. Maybe it IS a tongue worm, I don’t know.
  • @bstoner1300
    My first video I’ve seen of Clint, and this guys enthusiasm is hooking me like a tongue worm
  • @bookworm3005
    "The question on all of our minds is, do they have [something most of us have probably never heard of]." I love Clint so much 😂
  • @8h8_illustrates
    Because im into that kind of thing, could you cover all of the corvids? Those are both fascinating and terrifying.
  • @billybbishop
    Had a good work conversation with a friend about phylogenetics the other day. The look on their face when I suggested that we as vertebrates can be considered "fish" was priceless
