These Cockroaches and Beetles Will Freak You Out

All right, everybody, you know, just the sight of a cockroach running across the floor is enough to make most people's skin crawl, except for my next guest. She's a bug-loving little girl who was teased by her peers for her insect fascination, but after this hashtag, bugs are for girls, went viral, she became one of the coolest girls in school. So right now, here, With her very own book, Show and Tell, please welcome nine-year-old Sophia. Hi, Sophia. Hi. How are you? Where are you from, darling? Canada. Canada? Yeah, it took a while to get here. Took a while to get here? Yeah. What up? So, Sophia, what made you interested in bugs? Well, when I was three, I went to a butterfly conservatory, which is a zoo, but only for butterflies. And as soon as I walked in, a blue butterfly landed on my shoulder, and it wouldn't get off. And ever since then, I fell in love with insects. Yeah. So, let me ask you something. Why do you think insects are scary to some people? Some insects, like a tarantula, look scary, but some tarantulas won't hurt you. Some won't hurt you. Yeah, some. And some bugs you just don't want to hold because they have territorial offense, which means they'll bite you, sting you, pinch you. Great, yeah, well, so you're going to teach us about some bugs today. Yeah. That's pretty much why I ain't into bugs, I think. So go ahead, with the first bug, what is it? The first bug is a stick bug. The stick bug is called a stick bug because it looks just like a stick. And the stick bug, the stick bug can reproduce its own eggs, but only the female can reproduce its own eggs without a male. So basically it can reproduce its own eggs, but it will only make female eggs. But when it's reproducing eggs with a male, it will make male and female eggs. And it's nocturnal, which means it only, it's only awake at night and it's motionless at, in the daytime. Yeah. So does that ever come out the cage? Do you? Yeah. Yeah. I don't... Do you have a name for it? Oh, I didn't name it, but I'm gonna call it sticky sticky. Yeah Yeah, sticky. Want to go in? Yeah. Does it have one of those defense mechanism you were talking about This one doesn't bite. All of these bugs don't bite. Oh, no bite or nothing. No, they don't fly. They don't bite. They're really calm. Good. Well, what, let's go on to the next one. This is a Question mark roach. Oh, okay. You know, in the hood, it'd just be a roach. Won't be no question mark, I'll tell you right now. It's called the question mark roach. because it has little white dots that look just like question marks. And the male and female look... Ain't gonna be handling the roach, I can tell you that right now. The male and female look exactly... Scratching already. I'm ready. The male and female look exactly alike. This little guy lives in India, and he's homeless. He doesn't fly, and right now he's just going really quick. Yeah. Yeah, just do that. Want to go back in your cage? Yeah, let's go back in your cage. Thank you. Yeah. Want to go back in? Go back in. Okay, you don't want to go back in. I need to... Oh, it's open. Oh, that one? Ah, it's stuck. It is stuck. Thank you. Thank you. What kind of bugs can climb on the glass? What kind of bugs can climb on the glass? Bugs that have, like, their feet are really grippy. Like, flies, they can hang upside down. Yeah, that's pretty nice. Yeah. Roach can't get loose in here. Man, these bugs is busy. This is called the blue death fainting beetle. Blue death? Yeah. Like death? Yeah. So, why we got this out here? We got a bug out here called blue death. It's called blue death fainting beetles because they're blue because of the wax that they create for the heat because they live in the desert so they have to have something to protect them from all the heat. And it's called the fainting beetle because they play dead. They pretend they're dead. That's why it's called the blue dead death. They jump off your hand. No, they don't kill you. Oh, well, they jump off their hands. No, they don't jump. Okay, well, they'll be dead though. I'm just telling you. Yeah. The blue death fainting beetle is very calm and I find that they look like two walking blueberries. They look like two walking blueberries? Yeah. Oh, girl. They do. They really do. That's really nice. Sophia, about how many bugs do you know about? Well, I know about probably over 100, but there are over, like, trillions and billions of bugs in the world. Your bugs are cute, but they're not as cute as you, though, Sophia. They're just not as cute as you. Good job today. Come back and bring some more bugs with you next time. Hey, darling, let's go.
