Sphex Wasps: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 40 times, and that doesn't necessarily mean that every member of my species is a gullible as I am, but maybe yours is!
-
Wasp be like :- You might have outsmarted me but I outsmarted your outsmarting
-
oh boy citing sources can be a nightmare because then you have to check all the chain of sources, and honestly i bet people don't
-
All this time we thought we were fooling the wasps, when in fact we were only fooling ourselves.
-
This is like an abbreviated version of when CGP Grey went on a whole expedition to find out the race of staten island story also didn't occur like it was told.
-
The fault, dear Wooldridge, is not in our Sphex wasps, but in ourselves. -Tom Lum, probably.
-
Wasp pranks researcher into moving food 40 times.
-
Great story! Gonna go not check your sources and tell my friends!
-
CGP Grey would be proud. Researching sources and source drama is amazing.
-
This explains a lot about how information gets manipulated by time and by laziness.
-
I admire you videos, your energy and your passion. So much fun to watch :-)
-
ahhh I love this. so extremely relevant to the current timeline!
-
Sometimes it's easier just to try the experiment yourself than try to dig through years of people citing each other. Some things are just lost to time.
-
Citation is important!
-
Great video! One note on the subtitles: at 1:29, it says that Wooldrige is NOW the biologist, but you actually said is NOT a biologist. I always check the captions because I teach ESL, and incorrect subtitles can be confusing. :)
-
Outstanding!
-
Citation needed. /Sorry, not sorry Seriously though, your enthusiasm is just so infectious. Thank you for sharing your insights and the results of your work, even when those results aren't quite what you'd intended them to be :-)

Great work here ty
-
See also the chimps, the ladder, the bananas, and the water hose. That seems to be a straightforward lie, though.
-
That was good, I like the way you approach a subject.
