  The chills coming when he finally enters to a video with "this is orcadia" instead of "this is pantdora".

  I feel like the Banyan tree was the big thing Orchadia was missing. It looks much more like a canopy now and like the Hallelujah tree stump in Pantdora, it acts as a centerpiece for the vivarium and brought in several new species.

  Name the Dolichoderus ants the Achaeans, the soldiers who fought for Agamemnon in the Trojan War (Because you compared the Banyan Tree to an Trojan Horse)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEbie4VBcw0&amp;t=256">4:16</a> You&apos;re correct it&apos;s a leafhopper. It&apos;s a nymph from the subfamily Ledrinae, members of which are easily recognizable because they have a distinctive flattened head. Hence why they&apos;re also called &quot;flat-headed leafhoppers&quot;.

  I think the egg was indeed dead. I watch a lot of snake related videos and every time a full grown snake emerges from an egg, the remaining egg seems fully empty. This big clump of matter seems like a fetus or yolk of a non-developed egg. Also snakes typically cut open their egg in slashes, so that would not match this big gaping hole. My theory is that the ants have been slowly invading the egg and feeding from its juices.

  I watch a decent amount of reptile hatching videos and I feel like I can fairly confidently say that the fact that the egg&apos;s hole was on the bottom was a very good sign that it didn&apos;t hatch. Along with the previous vid with its ant hole, its clear enough that it was either a dud or passed around the time you found it. The lack of scent is simply because most of that which would have been making a stench is already eaten and the leftovers are still being eaten. Along with the amount of fresh air being circulated and purified by the natural processes taking place, there simply wouldn&apos;t be enough to be noticed. Great nutrients for your ecosystem, and proof that it can handle that small amount of biological matter without leaving enough waste to require larger scavengers to clean it up!

  I&apos;ve been an arachnophobe since I was a little kid. At first watching your videos of the spiders would give me heebeegeebees and goosebumps. But over time watching episode after episode and hearing the hopeful tone of your voice along with your appreciation of spiders, I have changed. The neurons in my brain now associate spiders with good feelings instead of the fear that I had prior to finding your channel. Now when I see spiders when I&apos;m out, I don&apos;t scream or freak out. Instead, I feel calm and appreciative of the work that spiders perform to help our ecosystem.<br>Thanks AC.
