Using the term parasitic is mis leading, that implies a 1 way relationship, I take, you get nothing, this is not the case here, it is a 2 way relationship, more in the favour of the ants than the butterfly. The butterfly keeps the population under control, it produces a food, and itself is prey for wasps, it is not parasitic, it is a complex eco system that self regulates. Ted ED is not at all educational, I have found so many examples of misleading or just plain wrong examples. There is little to no oversight of what is published.

If animals can have 'memory' and remember things from their ancestors without ever witnessing them, I am pretty sure humans can too. Like in assassin's creed, I bet if we explore the brain, one day we will be able to 'awaken' dormant skills, which can be passed by through generations. That way, a child, over the course of many generations, will be born smarter and smarter because of more accumulated knowledge.

Ate your siblings People love dogs and dogs fatally attack infants, siblings, grandparents etc all the time, and the victim is blamed almost every time. If someone had a baby that ate their siblings, they would love it, as long as it was a canine.
We all really need to wake up and realize that dogs aren’t our friends and how violent they are

It seems the UK government don't care about wildlife at all. They are currently destroying the meadows I spent my childhood playing in, covering them in the ugliest housing you've ever seen. It's so sad. You used to be able to see the river from my mum's bedroom window now it's just houses and building sites. :(

Ted Ed always nails it with perfect quotes, and this seemingly crazy story about ants and caterpillars was unexpectedly fascinating! The informative yet creatively animated video kept me hooked from start to finish. Kudos to Ted Ed for consistently delivering such engaging and enlightening content!

These caterpillars be living the sweet life pretending to be someone else. There's a bird that does the same lays its eggs in other birds nests and those innocent unsuspecting birds raise its chick at times caring more about those chicks than their own. (I forgot their names tho I'm)

We reintroduced a butterfly that feeds of ants I don't think the ants would have appreciated that.
When you think about it, conservation doesn't always seem to love animals. How do you think deer and gazelles feel about saving tigers

The title is weird at first but accurate one. the queen lays eggs in batches, the earlier batch become workers after some time and then they tend for the later ones. because they came from the same mother, the queen ant, hence siblings.

There are so many types of parasites that prey upon ants, parasitic wasp being the number one threat they face. It is not a pretty sight to behold, so kudos to Ted Ed for making this cute. ish.

In the insect world brood parasites are so common and it makes sense insect success is based off of putting as many offspring as possible out what if you lose a couple uh hundred

One parasitic butterfly went extinct.
Ants: Hoorayyy!
Before being reintroduced a few years latter.
Ants: Damn you humanity.

If i suddenly get wings and can only use them for a week I'd rather be a caterpillar forever. What's the point of limited freedom

This has to be the weirdest title ever but it’s very informative next video has to be about defending yourself against parasitism

This is probably the least problematic parasite, there are more ant's than humans but I don't know if this applies to ant species

I think you guys should do a video about the various defense mechanism that defend against parasitism. Surely some must exist
