We would really like to see more myths like the myths about Achilles, Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, how two brothers raised by a wolf built Rome, Europa, Helen of Troy and her brothers, The myth of creation from Gaia (the earth) and ouranos(and the sky, the mitos of Ariadne, Perseus and Andromeda, Zeus and Danae, Aphrodite and Posidon

How is the the categorizing of the eating apparatus useful when you see ants, who are actually related to bees and wasps have different mouth apparatusses (apparati) than then and have similar ones to say, leaf hoppers? Serious question here.

I've detected a little mistake in Spanish subtitles. In 1: 53, they traduce leafhoppers as saltamontes, but they're part of the Orthoptera order, the right word would be chicharritas or saltahojas. Anyway, a great and interesting video!

It's weird to compare the amount of insects to the number of humans. One is a class and the other a species. Comparing them to mammals would be much more reasonable and interesting.
