00:00By the way, the scenes you're about to watch are very sensitive and dangerous, so don't try this at home.
00:09Look at this, idols.
00:13In this video, you'll see a man who's just playing with butterflies in his hand.
00:19But later on, the butterflies he's holding
00:22You can put it on your face, idols.
00:24He'll stick it on his chest.
00:26And for a few more seconds.
00:29He filled the butterflies with two packs of honeycomb.
00:34And he ate them.
00:36This is crazy.
00:38What he's doing is scary.
00:41I can't eat that.
00:54There they are, the butterflies.
00:59Oh no.
01:00Butterflies are also one of the things that insects avoid.
01:03Because of the sting.
01:05But it looks like butterflies should avoid the man we know.
01:12The man who eats butterflies that we found in Jovelar, Albay.
01:17His name is Gemini Obispo.
01:19He's 40 years old.
01:20He's a farmer.
01:23Eating butterflies is one of his plans that day.
01:29That's why I thought of the butterflies that I'm going to feed and eat.
01:33I started with the extreme ones.
01:37That's why I chose the butterflies.
01:45In the video, you can see Gemini stabbing a fallen tree.
01:52When he took out his hand, he already had a handful of butterflies.
01:56When I was holding the butterflies,
01:59I felt like I was going to throw up.
02:03They were flying.
02:05I was wondering if I could eat them.
02:10I felt a little scared at that moment.
02:14After a few seconds, Gemini put the butterflies in his mouth.
02:20What kind of trick is that, Gemini?
02:22You're really going to throw up.
02:24You won't be able to handle the following events.
02:27Gemini took two pieces of honeycomb.
02:31He put the butterflies inside.
02:35It was like a coincidence that the butterflies ate it.
02:44He wasn't happy and took another piece of honeycomb.
02:47He put it in his mouth and ate it with the honeycomb.
02:54Gemini's video now has 1.2 million views.
03:01What kind of trick is that, Gemini?
03:03You're really going to throw up.
03:05Why didn't they eat the honeycomb?
03:13The honeybee is a type of insect.
03:16They are called social insects because they usually come in colonies.
03:21They are considered to be good organisms because they can produce their own food.
03:26Their honey comes from their own production.
03:33Honey is a sweet liquid made by honeybees from the nectar of flowers.
03:41It is mostly made up of sugar as well as a mix of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc, and antioxidants.
03:49It has a unique characteristic of not being sweet.
03:54Did you know that archaeologists discovered pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs
04:00that can still be eaten despite its age?
04:06The eternal shelf life of honey is due to its low moisture content and acidic pH levels.
04:12The reasons why bacteria and other microorganisms can't live here.
04:18The safety feature or safety function of worker bees includes the use of their sting.
04:28Anyone, any insect, any entity that approaches them and feels threatened,
04:36they will do the sting.
04:40In Celtic mythology, honeybees are the messengers between the world and the spirit realm.
04:46This folklore carried on in the Christian times.
04:50In Scotland and England, there are stories that these bees hummed loudly
04:56on the eve of Christmas for the birth of Jesus.
04:59That's why the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1752
05:05where it was removed for 11 days and the bees' humming was no longer heard.
05:11It is a sign that God was not pleased with the change.
05:16Going back to Gemini, before he was able to eat honeybees,
05:20he was also able to eat other animals and insects.
05:23This is what I call mukbang.
05:26He was also able to eat wild fruits.
05:32Mukbang?
05:34Fruits like grapes,
05:40honeybees,
05:43and all of this is for the content.
05:47Because aside from being a farmer, Gemini is also a vlogger.
05:51After the pandemic, I decided to vlog.
05:57At first, my content was simple, just for fun.
06:01But since no one is paying attention to what he is doing,
06:05Gemini decided to join other vloggers like him.
06:10He started to look for strange and dangerous things.
06:14His first content is sniffing a giant taro.
06:20It's a huge plant that is toxic to humans because of its calcium oxalate crystals.
06:25When I lifted the fire, it was so hot that my mouth was on fire.
06:33Let's do it again.
06:36Ouch!
06:38According to Gemini, when he eats exotic food,
06:42After the video, I was able to swallow some of it.
06:46But we can't avoid the fact that there's no empty space.
06:50But it really makes you drool.
06:54And in theory, the effect of the food will be counterproductive.
06:59He drinks yogurt or coconut juice right away.
07:06But when Gemini eats taro,
07:11He wasn't able to save himself from its sting.
07:14This is the truth.
07:17I ate a lot of taro.
07:20Even my throat is a bit dry.
07:24But it's still in the video.
07:27So I'm not saying that making a video is really hard.
07:32My hands are also a bit dry.
07:34Because of the bite of the taro.
07:36And I also swallowed three of my fingers.
07:42Gemini's wife, Josie, admitted that her husband is doing something dangerous.
07:47I'm also worried about her.
07:49About her health.
07:50But I just supported her for our family.
07:53Since someone viralized her video,
07:56Her income is better.
07:59We can now buy rice,
08:02Delicious food,
08:04And materials for our house.
08:09According to an article,
08:10Thai people, especially those in Northern and Northeastern Thailand,
08:14Have a long cultural history of eating insects.
08:17Including honeybees.
08:20Although eating insects is common all over the world,
08:23Ethnic groups in this part of Thailand
08:25Are remarkable because of their large-scale consumption of honeybees.
08:31Bees and wasps are the most important insects eaten in Northern Thailand.
08:35The food prepared in Thailand,
08:39These are larvae or stages of honeybees.
08:45They undergo preparation.
08:50Either by roasting or frying.
08:54And this preparation has a significant reduction
09:00Of the apitoxin that is in the sting.
09:09If this type of insect is eaten by mistake,
09:11What can happen to the person who eats it?
09:14For one, the venom can be injected.
09:18Two, the wounds that are given to it
09:21Can be infected.
09:23The death from bee venom
09:26Depends on the amount of sting.
09:29Usually, one sting is enough to kill an adult.
09:34The problem is if you are highly allergic to the venom.
09:38Even one bee sting, if you are highly allergic,
09:41You can die due to anaphylaxis.
09:45If you are allergic to bee venom,
09:51For one, the venom will go directly to your blood.
09:56The bee venom will go directly to your stomach.
09:59It is not allergic to the venom.
10:05The most important thing we should know
10:07Is that wasps play a role in our ecosystem.
10:11Wasps are considered the most important living species
10:14Because 70% of the world's agriculture
10:17Is due to wasps.
10:19While the honeybees are disappearing,
10:22They contribute to pollination.
10:25The world of natural pollinators is disappearing.
10:30When we say pollination,
10:33There is a correlation between propagation and plant reproduction.
10:38And when they disappear,
10:40The biodiversity of the world decreases.
10:44After meeting Gemini in his first viral videos,
10:48He went back to content creating ordinary food.
10:52What I can say to the vloggers out there,
10:55To those who want to be content creators,
10:58It is better not to imitate my videos.
11:08You can see a lot on social media.
11:10You can see a lot on social media.
11:13And the wasps are one of them.
11:17Let's be good and protect the wasps.
11:21Aha!
