  • Stupid sexy orchids...

  • @rockyabc You're not a scientist if you ask a question like that, because clearly you don't understand a simple concept called natural selection which can account for plants mimicking other things without the need for "eyes to see what they looked like'.

  • Can anyone tell me from what wasps did evolve? Noone I know can answer this question

  • Don't judge those wasps at the end, they're just expressing their happiness for each other

  • lmao homosexual wasps at the end...

  • Lol... very informative video.. :)

  • Males having sex with each other...I never realized some wasps were gay XD

  • The Bolas spider also uses sex pheromone deception to lure and catch male moths by making and producing the pheromones of a receptive female moth to lure the male moths close enough to catch.

  • @VertigoRev "Now", lol?

  • @meetmedownunder What I ment was that I laughed really, really hard; I wasn't expecting any gay activity in this documentary. It kinda took me by surprise. ^_^;

  • @DibSpicahGal U "dyed" laughing? O_o

  • I dyed laughing when I heard that some of the males will mate with each other. I yelled out, "Oh my god it's a gay wasp orgy!" XD
