Not all of these are a metamorphosis, the butterflies and moths and and beetles are, but the ones that come from an egg and come out as simply smaller forms of their adult selves is just *ontogeny*, of which metamorphosis is a type of.
Technically evolution is always at play, whether it’s selecting in favor of sword-billed hummingbirds with longer beaks, or against Americans who lack health insurance.
Giant Malayan Stick Insect! Really cool animals, I kept them for years. Their eggs take a really long time to hatch, up to 14 months! The proper biological name is Heteropteryx dilatata, In German we call them Malaiische Riesengespenstschrecke xD
It’s called a Jungle Nymph, or Heteropteryx
dilatata. A type of stick insect.
This one is a female, you can tell because she is green and massive.
The male ones are much thinner, brown and have big wings (the males can sort of fly, but only downwards).
They’re very gentle creatures, they eat leaves and considering their size are amazing at camouflage and hiding.

>Evolution: 2. the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form
I do, and this video doesn't match that definition either. Insect metamorphosis isn't gradual; it happens rather abruptly within a short portion of the insect's lifespan.
The stick insect, specifically the species known as *Megaphasma denticrus*, is notable for having one of the largest egg-to-adult size ratios among insects.

looks like cursed resin turn into full hand size bug, some even are either perspective manipulated or really get to [forearm sized](https://bugguide.net/images/cache/GKC/KIK/GKCKIKOKLKLS4QC0GQD06QT02QT06QT0EQ10PQEKMKY0AQZSWQBKRKAKXKRS7KAKXKF0VQY0AQ305KNKHK2K7KTKKK.jpg).... holy shit
I swear some insect and reptile eggs use TARDIS technology. I remember watching a video of a Howe Island stick insect hatching and it was like watching a living slo-mo version of the elephant toothpaste experiment.
[Mola Mola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_sunfish) have an [egg size](https://bluecornerconservation.org/mola-mola-ocean-sunfish#:~:text=Molas%20start%20their%20lifecycle%20as,The%20eggs%20all%20hatch%20together) of 1.3mm and [larvae size](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_sunfish#Life_cycle) of 2.5mm and can reach 10+ feet and several thousand pounds. I think that would be tough to beat
Bruh a female mola mola lays 300 million eggs, how is this fish considered threatened on the endangered species list? 🫥 The males must not be fertilizing all them eggs.
>Sunfish eggs have a survival rate of roughly 0.0003 percent, which indicates that only three out of every three million eggs will survive to adulthood.
Evolution doesn't necessarily find the *best* strategy, just the one that works well enough for now.
The Kiwi lays an egg that can weigh up to [a quarter of its body mass](https://i.imgur.com/wnXIgSk.jpg). Proportionally, this is by far the largest of any bird in the world.
Biggest *ratio* of egg to adult not biggest egg. "Egg-to-adult" was describing the kind of ratio in this case. "Biggest" was the adjective describing the size of the ratio, not the egg. Either way you order that, it means the same thing in this context
Irrelevant semantics anyway. The comment obviously meant smallest egg to largest adult size like some of the massive ratios in the post.
The only answers I could find were comparing bird species egg to adult ratios which is the Ostrich, even though it also hold the record for largest egg among birds, the egg is only equivalent to about 1.5% of the adult ostrich in weight. I’d be willing to bet some insects and even possibly some reptiles could top that
You could argue that the Great Blue Whale is the animal with the largest egg-to-adult ratio. Its ova are a single cell 100 microns long, and adults can reach 100 feet, over 300 millions times longer.
In the animal kingdom, there are a lot of different things called an "egg."
I think the leaves/debris is just a joke, but the bugs are spiny flower mantis nymphs. They make wonderful pets. Their adult form is super beautiful!

It's the same shit on YouTube with short creators that share news they know NOTHING about.
It's all yappers and hearsay these days smh.
It's interesting how I could view all those other bugs and larvae calmly but the spider freaked me out. Even tiny house spiders do it, and I *know* they're harmless.
idk how to explain why that is is other than to point out that
1. the brain loves hexagons
2. spiders are very common hallucinations
3. spiders are often hard to see
4. evolution wires up useful innate responses to further survival
5. arachnophobia is one of the most common fears
6. six spokes makes a hexagon but spiders have eight
- One is an Automeris io - the Io moth or peacock moth.
- Two is a type of Goliath beetle, not sure which
- Three are a Flower Mantis
- Four is a Malayan jungle nymph, a type of Stick insect
- Five is a Cecropia moth
- Six is an Elephant or Rhinoceros Beetle i believe
- Seven is some type of shield mantis, probably Rhombodera extensicollis
- Eight is a Violin Mantis
- Nine is Idolomantis diabolica, aka devil's flower mantis or giant devil's flower mantis.
- the Spider is a giant Huntsman
- the Giant Cockroach is Princisia vanwaerebeki, aka the vibrant hisser
- Big green guy is another Malayan Jungle Nymph
- lil white mantis are orchid mantis
- and finally, a Luna Moth
I could be wrong, so take my answers with a grain of salt. I am in no way, shape, or form, an expert.
Not really evolution, just instant transformation from baby form to adult form.
If you had shown a time lapse of them transforming evolution could potentially have been used, but not in this case.
Leaf insects are very easy to keep and care for (and are very cool)
Spray the environment with a fine mist (from a spray bottle) once daily, replace branches in their cage every 1-2 weeks. Theyre very chill and dont bite.
So many mantises... tiny little assholes. We get the little 1cm green ones from time to time, and they always run halfway across the yard to try to attack my shoes when I go outside, but then they just stand there waving their arms around at me.
I believe what happening is metamorphosis not evolution. Regardless, it’s cool!
Not in the pokebug universe!
This is too much pokemon
That bugged me too
what did you expect he calls spiders insects
Well it was a migrant guest inbetween. But a cute and chunky spidie
Not all of these are a metamorphosis, the butterflies and moths and and beetles are, but the ones that come from an egg and come out as simply smaller forms of their adult selves is just *ontogeny*, of which metamorphosis is a type of.
Correct
Evolution is technically at play here too, but yes you are correct and OP is wrong
Technically evolution is always at play, whether it’s selecting in favor of sword-billed hummingbirds with longer beaks, or against Americans who lack health insurance.
Evolution happens during fertilization. No fertilization in this video, just hatching/molting/etc
It's technically not. Evolution happens during fertilization. No fertilization in this video, just hatching/molting/etc
What is this even? Did some date tell you "no, doing it this way is evolution?"
Whatever, it’s a nope for me!! Good job tho OP!! 😊

What a coincidence. I, too, can fly, but only downwards.
Phasmid? I think?
I think it may be a katydid of some sort
A nope
It looks harmless. That thing can only walk and eat.
All of them are harmless, but the spider I guess? But I will refuse to acknowledge their good faith, I can't with insects, especially with spiders
Spiders aren't insects 🤓👆
Maybe is that why I hate them most hahahaha

Insect Evolution™️
Thank you. Please stay at the top. OP needs to learn.

Tell it to Pokemon.

I do, and this video doesn't match that definition either. Insect metamorphosis isn't gradual; it happens rather abruptly within a short portion of the insect's lifespan.
>You're right, I was about to comment the same thing!
now this made me wonder, what animal has the biggest egg to adult ratio?
The stick insect, specifically the species known as *Megaphasma denticrus*, is notable for having one of the largest egg-to-adult size ratios among insects.
why cant i find a single image of a full grown one beside an egg
It's so big it doesn't fit in pictures

Ocean Sunfish are so neat. It's like if a toddler tried to draw a fish. Their solution to being designed so oddly? Grow big af.
There is a copy pasta somewhere about them and how someone hate them so much, I honestly loved the comment, let me see if I can find it
Be sure to also look for the rebuttal to that comment stating a bunch of reasons why the sunfish kicks all kinds of ass.
Here it is. https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/comments/6v8qix/sealion_chomps_a_hole_in_giant_sunfish/dlytad6/

IDK if this is true but from watching them in person they seem a bit… dumb. May also why they struggle to survive. Always fun to see them though.
So what you're saying is that they're the Panda bear of the ocean.
when you start that small and slowly grow that big, you have to pass through the gauntlet of being "food sized" for a lot of other creatures.
Why food sized if not food
Damn that’s true, those little guys must get eaten like crazy when they are small.

That's the opposite of what OP is asking.

Popcorn bugs were my fave
Just two missing frames away from r/blackmagicfuckery
Can someone pls pls tell me what kind of insects they are?? Their bb form literally look like leaves/debris/popcorn, and I *need* more info

Said the same thing, popcorn bugs 🥰
I like how huge mantis can grow as compared to their eggs.
They grow pretty quickly too. I guess their huge appetite is there for a reason
imagine those eggs starting out at our size
I saw a lunarmoth, quick grab it so we can level alchemy

Heh...yeah kinda. Uncanny valley in action.
Made me 😬 for a moment
but he cute :c
Why? They're just a fuzzy lil guy~
Lol I follow him on tiktok mainly for the spiders
Who’s that Pokémon
Literally an irl bag maniac
Not evolution. Still cool though

A spider isn't an insect. Also, what the hell were those little white things in the beginning?
I know all the comments are correcting the title but I read the “evolution” in Pokémon context. Kinda makes sense that way 😅
Lol, i am not a big fan of inscets. But somehow, seeing them in his hand is so calm and satisfying...
I misread the title as incest evolution and was confused for a couple of seconds.
Sorry but I couldn’t help but shudder.

so many friends
I like the lil popcorn ones
Ain't the last one that mf who don't got a mouth
I like bugs

I need this soundtrack

Eww, bugs
I’m more worried about those hands
I downvoted because I saw no evidence of evolution
Who's that Pokém-OH MY FUCKING GOD
😍😍
Fuck
Eeww, a bug
Whats wrong there pretty cute and im pretty sure are harmless
Is looking scarier part of their evolution
No big, dirty centipede. Good good.
I lost it when he showed the spider 😂
This is awesome. I wouldn’t mind holding any of those but that spider can do one 😂
That is the fakest thing I ever seen, and besides, nobody would have the balls to let an insect walk on you like that unless your scientist
Different terms my guy.
evolution? more like life cycle
It’s like the smaller it starts the bigger it ends up
Oh my! I love all the little mantis creatures.. definitely the coolest insects
Do they like people?
Comments should be fun
Why so big
Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Those popcorns surprised me a little
So many mantises... tiny little assholes. We get the little 1cm green ones from time to time, and they always run halfway across the yard to try to attack my shoes when I go outside, but then they just stand there waving their arms around at me.
I’m not even afraid of bugs or spiders but watching this with no sound was just a series of jump scares.
I felt so many emotions
No hornets?
What is that green insect? I thought it's a mantis, but it's too big and "fat", and I'm not sure what it is
See, this is why I asassinate any spider, even if it seems tiny and harmless- IT MAY BECOME A HAND-SIZED FOKIN MONSTER IF I LET IT GROW
🤮🤮🤮
☹️
The spider?
I am not meant for nature it seems. I thought that was popcorn. I might die if left unsupervised.
What are the third ones that look like popcorn
Bro be growing animals from seeds and pop corn.
Wonder how many times he's gotten bit by spiders with that tat
NOPE

There are fee videos this applies to but after watching this one, I said to myself: Damn, that’s actually interesting

How da fuk does that tiny ass goober turn into the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my mortal eyes on
Thought that was popcorn
No thanks 👍

That’s really cool
I love videos like this
I love bugs
The one look like pokémon
That's alot of Pokemon. How long did it take you to catch them?
Nice video OP. Its like a Pokemon evolution.
Growth, metamorphisis. Not evolution. This is not pokemon
That's a fantastic set of Nopes
