- I know why you clicked on this video.
00:04
And you know that Brave Wilderness almost never clickbaits,
00:08
especially when it comes to Coyote Peterson
00:10
putting himself in a world of pain for science,
00:13
education, and good old fashioned entertainment.
00:17
But you're probably also saying to yourselves,
00:19
wait a minute, I thought this guy retired
00:22
from intentional stings after the executioner wasp.
00:26
So let me explain exactly why we're here.
00:32
Okay, so the craziest moment of fate
00:37
just happened moments ago.
00:40
We are on location in Texas,
00:43
and we're currently in the process of filming an episode
00:45
about alligator gar, big conservation episode
00:48
for this fish species.
00:49
And I'm standing on this embankment here
00:52
that you see out behind me,
00:54
and an enormous wasp comes and lands at my feet.
00:58
It was a cicada killer,
01:01
one of the largest wasp species here in the United States,
01:04
and an insect that I have not yet been stung by.
01:07
Now there are two reasons I was not stung by it.
01:09
One, is I've never seen one before.
01:11
And two, according to Justin Schmidt's pain index,
01:14
it only ranks as about a two.
01:16
He was stung by the western cicada killer.
01:19
This is the eastern variety,
01:21
and they're the biggest of the five cicadas killers.
01:24
Now this wasp is currently going through a very tricky time
01:29
in its existence, because earlier in 2020,
01:32
this wasp was deemed as quite possibly being
01:36
the murder hornet, more scientifically known as
01:38
the Japanese or Asian giant hornet.
01:41
The Cicada killer is a species that is
01:43
naturally found here throughout the United States.
01:45
But size-wise, and color-wise, creepiness-wise,
01:49
it definitely ranks on the same scale as the giant hornet.
01:53
So over the course of the past couple months
01:54
these cicada killers have been coming out
01:57
from under the ground to hunt for cicadas.
02:00
People have been seeing them and they've been thinking,
02:02
giant murder hornets are invading the United States.
02:05
That is not the case, because like I said,
02:07
cicada killers have been here
02:08
just as long as we have been here.
02:11
What I'm going to do today, to get to the point,
02:13
is ultimately be stung by a cicada killer
02:15
to prove that this is not an insect
02:18
that you need to be afraid of.
02:20
I know you're shaking your heads right now saying, Coyote,
02:22
wait a minute, are you coming out of sting retirement?
02:27
Not technically, I'm not gonna get
02:29
stung by a bunch of other bugs.
02:30
But, my goal here is to prove
02:33
that this is not a giant hornet,
02:35
and it is not a creature that you need to be afraid of
02:37
if you see it this summer.
02:39
Now the crew's behind the scenes right now
02:41
getting the macro shots.
02:42
And the way that we caught this wasp
02:45
is it went down into its little burrow,
02:47
I quickly took a water bottle
02:49
that we had in the back of the vehicle,
02:50
put it over its hole, it flew right in, and we caught it.
02:54
So if that's not fate saying it is
02:56
time to get stung by the cicada killer
02:58
and take it out of the villainous spotlight,
03:01
I don't know what is.
03:02
We've got this beautiful backdrop here in Texas.
03:05
We've set up in the shade.
03:06
We've got an awesome frame ready to go.
03:08
Cameras are being set.
03:09
And if you guys are ready,
03:10
I think I am ready to come out of sting retirement,
03:13
temporarily, to be stung by the cicada killer.
03:17
Okay, here we go.
03:24
(ominous music)
03:38
Hey, Coyote Pack.
03:39
If you can't wait until Saturday
03:41
and want to enter the cicada killer sting zone
03:43
before anyone else, join memberships right now
03:46
to unlock the full episode.
03:49
I know you're shaking your heads right now saying, Coyote,
03:51
wait a minute, are you coming out of sting retirement?
03:57
I'm Coyote Peterson.
03:59
And I'm about to be stung by the cicada killer.
04:02
Oh my goodness, that stinger's in, here we go.
