Hi guys!

Hey guys! Today I'm going to be doing a video in Japanese!

It's been quite a while but...

I have a special guest here today, his father is also here

This is Eishin-kun from Mae Channel!

Thank you so much for joining me!

Hello everyone!

Today we're gonna be talking about BUGS!

Do you like bugs?

I like them!

BUT...

But?

I don't like gross bugs

For example?

For example... (Japanese) centipedes

Tarantulas...

Can't handle those?

NOPE.

Same with me

Also green caterpillars!

The butterflies that they turn into are cool, but

But don't like the caterpillars much?

Yeah they're not so great

What are we gonna teach people about today?

Rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles!

They're so cute!

They're cute aren't they?

So in Canada, I guess we don't see these very often

I don't even know if they exist in Canada

I hadn't seen one until I came to Japan

This one is my favourite!

The Hercules Beetle!

"Legend of Beetle - Hercules Beetle!" *said in a Japanese video game announcer voice*

This guy has two horns

And here, there's hair!

The hair is cute!

It has hair on it's horn, and it's the cutest thing ever

Have you seen a real live one before?

I've taken a picture with one that was on a piece of wood before!

That's awesome!

It was a REAL LIVE one!

"The Beetle Champion - Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle!"

You can find this beetle in Japan

It's your typical Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle

So this is your regular "kabuto mushi" (Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle)

When people are talking about "kabuto mushi" they usually mean this one

It's also called the "Domestic Rhinoceros Beetle"

If you put it on your arm like this

It's arms and legs will stick to you!

Yeah yeah!

But it doesn't hurt right?

Yeah it kinda tickles though!

The first time I had one on my arm I was so excited I didn't care!!

I was like that too haha

"The Strongest 3 Horned Atlas Beetle!"

So I had one of these!

If you go back to my old videos you can see him

This one's my fave because I used to own one

Aww a male Atlas Beetle!? Jealous!

Pretty cool right?

Very cool

They're so big and awesome

Atlas Beetles are kinda like a mix of a Rhinoceros Beetle and a Stag Beetle

Oh you're right!

If you put them together they look like an Atlas Beetle!

I had never noticed that!

Yeah they look like a combination of the two!

Pretty cool

Should we show them how to set up the tank?

YAAAAAY

So I got a Kabuto Mushi set

So if you want to keep a Kabuto Mushi as a pet, you can get one of these from the home center

Let's see what's inside!

What's this?

Water for the Kabuto Mushi!

And this?

A dish for food!

Oh so it works like this

You can stick their food cup into the piece of wood like this

It's pretty cute

What's this!?

What's the big one?

Ohh the mat!

And I got one more thing, what's that one?

It's a piece of wood and jelly!

Wood for climbing on

Wood for climbing that fits wide cup jelly

Wanna try putting the stuff together?

Yeah!

Guess we should start with the mat!

Yeah the mat should be first

Oh it's already kinda wet!

THIS MAT IS AWESOME

Almost there

Little more?

That looks about right!

Next is the Bio Water

Oh you put this in the mat!

Can just stick it in

That looks good!

They're hungry! They need their food!

Got it open

Ta-da!

Comes with jelly

It looks like Jello!

Wide cup jelly

Jelly! So the beetles eat jelly?

Yup, they sure do!

They eat Jello it's the strangest thing ever

Looks good

Put this here

There we go!

Looks good!

I guess we can leave this one out, not much room

I think we're done setting it up!

Wow, it looks so real!

Water

Mat

Jelly

Wood for climbing

And the rhinoceros beetle!

If you put some mat on the beetle it looks even more realistic

Yeah it does!

There's a stag beetle over here

He's eating some jelly I see

Are these all male beetles?

Male, male, male, male!

Oh, no females!

No females this time

When they eat, it's so cute

I have a clip of when I had a beetle so I'll put a clip of it eating here

It's the cutest thing ever, they're really cute to watch

*dorky electronic music*

So if you want a kabuto mushi, where should you get one?

You need to wake up at about 4AM

The day before you need to put some syrup on the tree

Syrup?

Yep on the tree

At around 4AM there will be some kabuto mushi flying around the syrup

You can catch those with a net

Or you can take them off the tree when they're eating the syrup

If you can't catch your own they sell them at the home center too right?

They even have them at pet stores nowadays!

They even had Atlas beetles there!

Yeah! They have all kinds

Did you learn something about kabuto mushi?

I absolutely love them, I think they're so cute

And I'm really happy to share the Japanese culture of kabuto mushi with you guys

Thanks so much for teaching us all about kabuto mushi!

He knows everything about kabuto mushi!

I was so impressed but how pro you are about bugs

Well I don't consider myself a pro, but...

heh... my pleasure
