He is built different, I feel that nature has a way to always create their ambasador in human form, like an avatar
@
I found one of these in my kitchen in Costa Rica…and it was still alive and well
@
The cave ecosystem is a fascinating reminder that evolution doesn't always favor speed or strength. Sometimes heightened senses, patience, and energy efficiency are the traits that matter most. Excellent storytelling.
@
Watching this makes me realize how little we know about the creatures right under our noses. There’s a whole hidden world out there!
@
I love whip spiders lol, my favorite non-spider arachnid. They're goofy and harmless. Pretty crazy how many species out there we still have no idea exist. Both George and the cameraperson are amazing.
@
You gotta love this guy!!!❤🦇🐜🦗🦟

George is gangster. There is no way I’d be crawling into old log looking for I don’t even know. He’s living his best life.😂❤😂
@
Usually, entomologists are super nerdy, but this guy is really cool!
@
Insects may be tiny, but they’re the real MVPs of our ecosystem—without them, we’re lost!
@
George is in his element 🥴😭😭😭😭
@
When this guy's time comes, he won't be buried in a casket - he'll just be wrapped in spider silk 🕸.
@
What a legend this lad 😅
@
2:40 - George... is a crazy man. That takes a far different mentality than mine to go crawling into that log hole.
