00:01
i know you're shaking your heads right
00:02
now saying coyote
00:03
wait a minute are you coming out of
00:05
sting retirement
00:09
i'm coyote peterson and i'm about to be
00:12
stung
00:13
by the cicada killer oh my goodness that
00:15
stinger is long here we go
00:40
during the winter of 2020 the national
00:43
media erupted with a deafening buzz
00:46
that venomously stung an unwarranted
00:48
fear
00:49
into homes across america that buzz
00:52
came from none other than the giant
00:54
hornet
00:56
hailing is one of the most painfully
00:58
toxic stings in the world
01:00
these nightmarish insects have a nasty
01:02
reputation
01:03
and they were defined as murder hornets
01:06
by the press
01:08
for anyone that is late to the party yes
01:11
i have already been stumped and yes
01:14
it hurts a lot absolute steering pain
01:18
as for the invasion no we aren't going
01:21
to be overrun
01:22
stung and killed by giant hornets but
01:26
some may argue that the invasion
01:28
has already happened that's where i come
01:32
in
01:32
it's time to set the record straight and
01:35
more importantly
01:36
it's time to take a misidentified
01:38
scapegoat off
01:40
of the suspect list
01:43
okay let's get down to business you
01:46
showed up to see a full-grown man
01:48
experience some pain
01:50
but first you gotta learn a little
01:52
something about this incredible insect
01:54
as my mom always used to say you can't
01:57
have your dessert
01:58
until you finish your vegetables well
02:02
if that's not a terrifying little insect
02:04
i don't know
02:05
what is ladies and gentlemen let me
02:09
introduce you to
02:10
the cicada killer one of the largest
02:13
wasp
02:14
species in the united states this is
02:16
only
02:17
second to the tarantula hawk now this
02:20
wasp is not technically a spider wasp
02:23
like the tarantula
02:25
this is in fact a sand wasp now similar
02:28
to the tarantula hawk they have
02:29
a very unique biological cycle this one
02:32
that you're looking at right here is a
02:34
female
02:35
it is the females that get larger than
02:36
the males and the females that are
02:38
armed with a venomous stinger and what
02:40
the females will do
02:41
is search around in the treetops for
02:43
cicadas they will hone in on their
02:45
target
02:46
move in and use that elongated abdomen
02:48
to swoop
02:49
up underneath their prey and then sting
02:52
it they paralyzed the cicada
02:54
similar in the way that a tarantula hawk
02:56
paralyzes a spider
02:57
eventually the male cicada killers
02:59
fertilize the egg
03:00
that she lays on top of the paralyzed
03:02
cicada the female will physically carry
03:04
that cicada in its large mandibles and
03:06
its grappling hook-like legs
03:08
back to its underground burrow these
03:10
burrows can be up to 20 inches in length
03:12
and to have multiple tunnels
03:14
at the end of each one of these tunnels
03:16
the female will place the paralyzed
03:17
cicada
03:18
once that egg hatches it turns into a
03:20
pupa it begins to feast
03:22
upon that paralyzed insect until it
03:24
grows large enough to build a cocoon
03:26
and then once it hatches out of that
03:28
cocoon the next season another cicada
03:30
killer comes
03:31
up from under the ground if that's not a
03:33
true horror story
03:34
i don't know what is this is a very
03:38
large wasp and the easiest way to
03:40
identify it
03:41
are those large amber colored wings when
03:43
this creature is at rest
03:45
like it is right now the wings have a
03:47
very triangular shape to them
03:49
very different looking from a hornet or
03:51
a spider wasp
03:52
you'll see there when she folds her
03:53
wings back it looks a little more
03:55
concave similar to a giant hornet which
03:58
makes it really easy to mis-identify
03:59
this species
04:00
as that foreign invader and when you
04:03
look at the front of the insect it has
04:05
enormous eyes these wasps have
04:07
incredible eyesight
04:09
they're primarily diurnal and you'll see
04:10
them very active on overcast
04:13
cloudy days again they're using their
04:15
senses to find the cicadas up in the
04:17
tree
04:17
target in on their prey and then they
04:19
will make a move now that thorax is
04:22
rather sizable very robust but it's the
04:24
abdomen that is the most unique
04:26
that black and yellow coloration tells
04:28
you that this creature is venomous
04:30
apostomatic means leave me alone i am
04:32
not something you want to be stung by
04:34
now when it comes to the demeanor of
04:36
this wasp to be honest
04:37
they're rather docile and very seldomly
04:40
will they
04:40
ever interact with humans in fact the
04:42
only time you stand the chance of being
04:44
stung by this insect
04:45
is if you were to step on top of its
04:47
burrow and were to come up from
04:48
underneath you
04:49
and try to escape it would maybe sting
04:51
your bare foot if you were blocking its
04:53
escape way
04:53
other than that this is not a bug that
04:56
is ever going to go out of its way
04:57
to try to interact with humans now
04:59
during the summer time you will often
05:01
times see clusters of the males
05:03
battling it out up in the air but other
05:04
than that these are
05:06
considered solitary sand wasps
05:09
no matter how you break it down guys to
05:11
be honest this is one
05:12
very intimidating insect which makes it
05:15
very clear
05:15
as to why people are afraid of this wasp
05:19
wow seeing it buzz around inside that
05:21
capsule
05:22
brings a number of flashbacks the
05:25
warrior wasp
05:26
the tarantula hawk the executioner wasp
05:28
and
05:29
certainly the japanese giant hornet but
05:32
there is a very good reason as to why
05:34
i'm going to be stung
05:35
by this wasp today no i am not
05:38
technically coming back out of sting
05:40
retirement this is going to be a one and
05:42
only
05:42
because right now this insect has a very
05:46
negative reputation
05:47
by people misidentifying it for the
05:49
giant hornet they're panicking
05:50
and they're aiming to kill this species
05:52
but it is not
05:53
something that we need to be afraid of
05:56
so
05:56
by getting this up close for the cameras
05:58
and by taking a sting
05:59
i can show you guys that that sting is
06:02
not really that potent
06:03
remember it only ranks as a two on the
06:06
insect sting pain index
06:07
now that stinger is of course a modified
06:10
oviposter which is used for
06:12
depositing eggs and while it is laced
06:16
with venom the venom of this species is
06:18
not necessarily that potent
06:20
however i do not know how my body is
06:22
going to react to the sting
06:23
so we certainly have an epinephrine pen
06:26
on set just in case my body has an
06:28
allergic reaction
06:30
but if you guys are ready i think it is
06:32
time to transfer the cicada killer
06:34
from the capsule into the net let's get
06:36
in the forceps
06:37
and get me stung this is the most
06:39
delicate part so i've got to really stay
06:41
focused
06:42
and make sure to get a clean secure hold
06:46
just
06:49
just like that we almost lost it man
06:51
that is a very very
06:52
very powerful very powerful wasp
06:56
oh buddy okay let's try this again
07:00
i mean you have to think about if this
07:02
thing is capable of carrying a cicada
07:04
that can weigh more than it does it is a
07:06
very very powerful wasp
07:13
i also have to be very delicate and very
07:15
gentle i don't want to damage the
07:17
insects wings in any way whatsoever
07:20
she's got all these little
07:21
hairs on her which makes her very
07:23
slippery
07:25
that's where i'm struggling i need to
07:27
get it right
07:30
right like that
07:45
and i got a good hold we got to go with
07:46
it now you guys in position
07:51
okay hands shaking
07:56
i'm coyote peterson and i'm about to be
07:59
stung
08:00
by the cicada killer oh my goodness that
08:02
stinger is long here we go
08:04
one two
08:11
three
08:23
ah oh i got away ah
08:32
i lost it that's the first time i've
08:34
ever lost one i must be rusty
08:38
oh ah
08:40
got me more than once too
08:43
ah we're able to see that we all see
08:47
this thing
08:47
i think so come in tight right there
08:52
whoo long stinger oh yeah it's throbbing
08:59
wow
09:02
okay really not that bad
09:06
really not that bad at all
09:10
it got me there and there
09:14
oh yeah okay okay here we go second rush
09:16
of pain second rush of pain
09:18
ah nowhere near
09:22
a velveteent or tarantula hawk nothing
09:25
close to bullet ant
09:26
or some of those larger wasps wow for
09:29
such a long stinger
09:31
very intimidating really
09:34
not that painful
09:39
it got good stings so yeah skin is
09:41
definitely tightening up
09:45
common paper wasp at the most not even
09:48
on par with the honeybee
09:50
not even on par with a honeybee i can't
09:51
believe it
09:54
my first miss on the capsule
09:57
well certainly back into the wild at
09:59
this point without question the
10:01
strongest insect i have ever
10:05
worked with in one of these sting
10:07
scenarios now here's my theory
10:10
for a spider wasp like the tarantula
10:13
hawk
10:14
to go up against something like a
10:15
tarantula that's an aggressive predator
10:17
onto its own with big fangs so
10:19
your sting and your venom has to be
10:21
insanely potent i don't feel
10:23
any sense of paralysis in my arm when it
10:26
comes to
10:27
a wasp like the cicada killer when
10:29
you're going against a cicada with no
10:30
stinging or biting parts
10:32
i could see why your sting doesn't need
10:34
to be so potent now
10:35
a couple minutes have gone by and if you
10:37
come over here and you zoom in on my arm
10:38
mario
10:39
you can see something funky's happening
10:43
on my forearm
10:44
look at that welt
10:48
i thought i only got stung twice but
10:51
i'm seeing swelling here and radiating
10:54
out now into my forearm now i do feel
10:59
burning after the fact but nothing more
11:03
than a common wasp sting there is an
11:05
initial jolt
11:07
sort of like an electrical shock and i
11:08
was anticipating
11:10
the paralysis of the tarantula hawk but
11:13
that pain went
11:15
and then it just kind of died off
11:18
wow now what that leads me to conclude
11:21
is that while this may be a very
11:23
intimidating wasp that is going to be
11:25
confused for the giant hornet
11:27
it is definitely not something we need
11:29
to be afraid of i would say that the
11:31
sting is no
11:32
more than a two on the insect stink pain
11:34
index
11:35
and even 10 year old coyote could have
11:37
likely taken a sting from this creature
11:38
and gone right out in the swamps
11:40
catching turtles
11:42
now when it comes to seeing one of these
11:44
wasps this summer
11:46
if you come across it in your backyard
11:48
remember this is not a creature that is
11:50
out to get you
11:51
they want nothing to do with humans and
11:53
unless you're a cicada
11:55
you have absolutely nothing to fear i'm
11:58
coyote peterson
11:59
be brave stay wild we'll see on the next
12:02
adventure
12:04
that was a good one
12:14
the science of stings will always have a
12:16
special place in my heart
12:18
and the painfully entertaining
12:19
experiences we have caught on camera
12:22
have brought to the spotlight a
12:23
collection of creepy creatures
12:25
that have never been so celebrated
12:28
giant hornets are not going to invade
12:31
america
12:32
and hopefully this up close look at the
12:34
cicada killer
12:35
despite its menacing design and
12:37
impressive size
12:38
has helped alleviate some of your
12:40
concerns
12:41
in an absolute worst case scenario if
12:44
you are stung
12:46
it's not nearly as bad as their
12:47
appearance would lead you to believe
12:50
remember they kill cicadas not humans
12:54
and if there's one thing i hope you walk
12:55
away with it's that these wasps are
12:58
noticeably docile
12:59
unless trifled with leave them alone
13:02
and let them live so that's it one last
13:06
thing
13:07
i'm headed back into retirement where i
13:09
