00:00Insects, even if they are small, are able to be seen
00:11In every corner of the world, you can see insects
00:17But these can't be ignored
00:20Because even if they are small in our eyes, there are things they can do
00:27In the world of size or size is the basis of strength
00:31You will be surprised at what small insects can do
00:43One of the main livelihoods of residents in Pangasinan is farming
00:49Julius will now plant rice bags in his farm
00:58I noticed that there are different colors, all green
01:02But these partings seem to be rotting
01:06Before it blooms, there are rice bags in the fields
01:09That's where they lay eggs
01:11Then when it starts, they will go up to the rice field
01:17They fly very fast
01:18And if they sense danger or harm, they think they are in danger
01:23They will secrete a very bad smell
01:26According to the farmers here, it is also difficult to kill these insects
01:30Because they have the characteristic that they can repel water
01:33If they are sprayed with insecticide, it just splashes on their body
01:41Aside from being pests in the rice field,
01:43The new rice bags have the ability to hurt people
01:49It's bitter and painful, so it's very dangerous to the eyes
01:52It's like burning acid
01:57For the farmers in Quezon,
01:59It's a big problem for these small insects
02:05Because the citrus from their rice fields is what the rice bags spit
02:11So as not to disturb their food,
02:14They use acid as a defense
02:18That's why Arnel will be very careful when harvesting the fruits of the rice field
02:24It's like a hand is being pulled
02:26Because of the pain
02:29Here in these rice fields,
02:32In these fruits,
02:34If you pass by without noticing,
02:37You will be brought here
02:38That's why you have to be careful
02:40If you pass by without noticing,
02:43You will be brought here
02:45So that you can fly
02:47It's like you were sprayed with hot water
02:51It's very hot
02:54Experts explain that
02:56There is a mixture of acid that produces water from the rice fields
03:01Okay, let's wear gloves
03:02Because we will catch the rice fields
03:05We need to be careful
03:07Because first of all, it's smelly
03:09The spray is toxic
03:12It can cause an injury
03:15The skin is damp
03:16That's why we need to be careful
03:17You can probably see that
03:19If you go to the province
03:21It's just small
03:22It's almost 3 centimeters
03:24It's like a leaf
03:25It's orange
03:26And of course, it's an insect
03:28It has antennas
03:29If you look at it, it looks harmless
03:33And yet, it does a lot of damage
03:36Here in the Rambutan Trees
03:39If you spray it little by little
03:41It really smells like an insect
03:43It smells metallic
03:46It smells like metal
03:48It's smelly
03:49It really gets into your nose
03:51If you encounter an accident
03:53With ants or any other insect
03:55The first aid you can do
03:59Don't touch them right away
04:02Use a cold compress
04:04Put a cold compress on your bite
04:08If it's still there
04:11The next thing you need to do
04:14Is to consult a doctor
04:16Because it's possible
04:17That the allergens from those insects
04:22Have an effect on your body
04:26That can cause anaphylactic shock
04:34The small ants
04:36Have a big impact on the lives
04:38Of the residents of Tarlac
04:40In the colony of weaver ants
04:43Each one of them
04:45Has a role
04:49Their queen ant
04:51Is the one that lays eggs
04:53And their worker ants
04:55Are the ones that look for food
04:57And protect their colony
05:01The ants are well-known
05:03As hardworking insects
05:05That's why a resident of Tarlac
05:07Worked hard with them
05:10His name is Sergio
05:12Early in the morning
05:13He's preparing his meal
05:17When we first got here
05:21I ran because it was painful
05:24I didn't want them to get close to my body
05:27Because it was painful
05:31Sergio uses his hook
05:35To hit the queen ant
05:39He pushes it
05:41Until the ants fall
05:44And their eggs
05:45Into his basket
05:47After that
05:49Sergio will burn it
05:51So that the ants can escape
05:57When the ants bite the enemy
05:59They use their mandibles
06:04They release formic acid
06:06That causes severe skin irritation
06:10They are one of the most painful insects
06:13Whenever faced with danger
06:15Just like my partner
06:18Doc Nielsen
06:24It hurts
06:26The ants are more aggressive
06:29When they are in that stage
06:32It smells like kerosene
06:36When they spray formic acid
06:41Aside from helping the residents
06:43With their eggs
06:45They also play a big role
06:47In the environment
06:50They are the ones that eat
06:52The pest insects
06:56They are small
06:58But they hide something
07:00Just like paper wasps
07:02Or antipedes
07:04We often document venomous snakes
07:06Venomous sea creatures
07:08But it is rare
07:10To document
07:12Venomous insects
07:14That is our denial here in Castillejos
07:16In Bales
07:22This is the old billiard table
07:25Owned by amphibians
07:27We have to be careful
07:29Because if they notice
07:31That someone is coming
07:33To their house
07:35The females become more aggressive
07:37If you notice
07:41If we notice
07:43This old billiard table
07:45They covered it with tar
07:47To protect it from the rain
07:49And the shade
07:51That the tar gives
07:53As a protective layer
07:55For these paper wasps
07:57At first glance
07:59It looks like a beehive
08:01Only that it's thinner
08:03And whiter and smaller
08:05Even if it's small and slim
08:07And frail
08:09This amphibian
08:11Has a strong venom
08:13In fact
08:15This house
08:17Has been visited
08:19A few times
08:21By an amphibian
08:23Abigail
08:47Even if it's venomous
08:49There's no sign
08:51Of death here
08:53In our country
08:55But still be careful
08:57Because there can be
08:59Allergic reactions
09:01To anyone who gets bitten
09:07There are insects
09:09That are considered pest
09:11And harmful to life
09:15Others
09:17That can be harmful to humans
09:21Small but terrible
09:23If we consider these
09:25Don't underestimate their impact
09:27On the environment
09:29Because they serve as pollinators
09:31And predators
09:33Of some pests
09:35Even if they're small
09:37They have a huge effect
09:39On humans and the environment
09:41Thank you so much for watching
