Back in 2017 the Brave Wilderness crew grabbed their popcorn, sat back, and watch the show. Now, it's time to return to the return to bug theatre!
What’s a bug theatre you might ask? A bug theatre is a common name for an insect “light trap”, where a screen is illuminated at night to attract all sorts of creepy crawlies and bizarre insect species. It is a common practice used by field entomologists around the world!
HUGE THANKS to the Bio Sur Foundation for leading this adventure. Their mission is to protect the endangered wildlife of Costa Rica by creating rainforest reserves through land acquisitions, environmental education of the local population, and engagement with national and international partners.

Jim needs his own show on youtube! He's so enthousiastic and knowledgable that i'd watch his talk about literally anything

Jim has unbelievable knowledge and is very interesting to listen to. Thank you Coyote for allowing him to share his knowledge with us.

You can tell how much Jim loves his job just by his sheer childlike joy and excitement when that beetle landed. Inspiring work!!

Jim's freakout when the bug first lands and they run behind curtain is SO raw and pure.

Their smiles when just talking about insects and this Elephant beetle makes me smile also. This is what true passion for something looks like and I love it.

The way the beetle just knocked all those other insects off was insane

As a person who is terrified of bugs, this is actually quite fascinating

Jim is amazing. So enthusiastic and his excitement when the beetle got there is contagious.

10:23 gotta be one of my fav moments of the vid. their excitement is so cute 😭

Costa Rica is such a beautiful country. We went on a night tour through the rain forest last year and it was incredible.

Man does Heracross know how to make an entrance. The entire Hercules/Rhino Beetle family are THE COOLEST bugs on the planet no question.

Jim’s raw excitement seeing the beetle land on the sheet was so wholesome.

These are all so incredible. I wish bugs didn't give me the creeps, but with shows like this, I get to with out actually needing to be there.
-
So awesome to still see him get excited after 13 years of studying insects
-
The fact Coyote got so excited about the beetle and was like “I don’t know what that means but that’s so exciting!” was adorable. I love the fact he was just as excited about Jim and supported him even though he had no idea what type of bug that was.

I loved how all of the sudden the blanket just rumbled and a lot of insects were knocked off of it hahahahahaha the giant appeared. Cheers, love and hugs from Mexico, I love y'all 🖤🇲🇽
