00:00It's not how long, but how you live your life that is important.
00:07We often hear that advice from someone who has gone through it.
00:11But that is also the belief of some insects in the jungle.
00:14That's why while they are still alive, they do everything to become more powerful.
00:19Here is the story of Amazing No. 5.
00:21Life is tied to love.
00:25Being a bird is the easiest form of love.
00:30That is the mission of Queen Asian Paper Wasp in the South Korean jungle.
00:35Her job is heavy.
00:37She has a lot of plot twists.
00:39First, she has to build a house.
00:42It is made of plant fiber.
00:44Next, she will lay eggs.
00:48She keeps these closed.
00:51If it is hot, it needs to be kept dry.
00:56Oh no, it's raining.
00:58It is easy to damage her house.
01:01But her mother has a solution.
01:05She sifted the water from the roots and the soil.
01:10While the larvae are growing,
01:12her mother feeds them twice as much.
01:17Their favorite is the caterpillar.
01:22But while she is away, someone came to her house.
01:26It's a cockroach.
01:28They attacked the larvae that have no enemies.
01:32But they have a weapon.
01:35Acid.
01:37But it is not enough to defeat the enemy.
01:43When her mother came back, she had almost no babies left.
01:48She ate them one by one.
01:51She has a different plan.
01:54The dead larvae should not be wasted.
01:58She will feed them to the survivors.
02:02When the larvae are ready to transform,
02:04they make silk to form their own cocoon.
02:10It won't take long.
02:12The first generation of workers will emerge.
02:16They will serve their queen
02:18who will lay eggs again.
02:21Fertile male and female wasps will come from this batch.
02:26The larvae have food supply from the workers.
02:30Meanwhile, Reina's journey is over.
02:35She is dead.
02:36But she left a lot of larvae.
02:40Only the big female wasps will survive this winter.
02:45And the new family will start again.
02:50Insects make a huge sacrifice.
