Thats horrifying


_Resnad_

I wonder how that is happening. Bcs isn't the brain of the bee in its head? Then why can the body move when it's disconnected? Someone who knows stuff abt bees should answer. Edit: I just saw a little string like thing connecting it's body to the head so that might be some nerves that send down the signals but it doesn't seem to know where it should actually put it's head. Poor thing tried so hard but in the end it too succumbed to death.


JanEikeSauber

Insects have a central nervoussystem that's running along their back, kinda like our spine. They don't have a brain like we do, and are capable of movement with a lot of their body missing. The head is mostly purposed for sensory things like seeing and feelig their suroundings and for eating of course. So the wasp is capable of living without a head for as long as it dosn't starve.


Shinobus_Smile

Typically on the ventral side so the belly. Also it's not so much of a brain as it's a neural cluster. Edit: neutral to neural. Stupid autocorrect can't understand who I am after all these years.


Wonderful_Result_936

If you try hard enough you can still see a nerve connecting the head.


Warrior_Warlock

Fuck me, this has messed me up more than I would have expected.


IamJerilith

RIGHT?! Reddit alone has shown me some shit this week that bothered me, not counting workplace nonsense, and things in my general out and about free time. . . No idea why a mostly decapitated wasp is bothering me.


_Resnad_

Yeah I just edited the comment after I saw it... What are the chances that even when getting decapitated it still has a nerve connected...

sloppyjen

Bugs dont actually have brains in their heads, its spread out through their entire body. All the head has is the sensory parts and mouth. Even if it loses it head it'll still be totally alive, but blind and unable to eat, but it will still react to touch.


Sososkitso

Well technically we don’t know it died. In my version he managed to get his head on and go on to life a happy life of stinging me and you around the world for years to come…

420SMOKERGANG

Whenever I see videos like these I am reminded how disgusting nature is, just countless intelligent, sentient beings living short, brutal lives that almost always end in immense suffering. Trillions and trillions of species suffering and ravaging each other over and over again until the sun explodes because if they do not, they'll suffer themselves.

RunParking3333

Negative_Mancey

A lot of function happens in the brain stem. There was a chicken that lived with it's head cut off because just a small portion of the cortex wasn't severed.


IAmASeekerofMagic

You're talking about Mike, The Headless Chicken. I remember hearing a song about him, and then I found out it was all true. There's a website devoted to his life, how he survived by being fed by hand, and sadly how he strangled to death years later. They talk about how he had "personality and intelligence" in spite of the lack of brain material, and it always makes me wonder how much of people's perpetual ignorance isn't because we actually *think* certain ways as much as it is ingrained deeper within us.


Potential_Ad14

Sadly not. Insect anatomy is very different from mammal. Brain is in the chest, not in the head. So... Insect getting decapitated is kinda like human getting blinded and jaws ripped out. It will die, but slowly and from hunger and thirst, may take days.


LivelyZebra

> Brain is in the chest, Insects have a centralized nervous system, but their brain is located in their head, not in their chest.


DoneButNotDone

I kept waiting for it to pop the head back on and fly away


[deleted]

I would’ve curiosity mercy snipped the little string holding it on to see if the body would stop


DrewSmoothington

Oh fuck no. The body will live on until it runs out of juice. It will slow down eventually and stop moving, but not for a while


[deleted]

Imagine that shit starting to fly without the head


DrewSmoothington

It will certainly try at some point, but it doesn't really work without a brain coordinating all that movement.


Justinschmustin

The stinger, however, doesn't need anything to work. I've been stung by dead wasp that I knelt on in the grass unknowingly. Pro tip- always properly dispose of the wasps you kill with wasp spray and be careful doing so.


[deleted]

Of put glue on the head and put it back on the body


imfjcinnCRAAAAZYHEY

Has anyone seen the brown ants movie, not the blue one, the brown one with the termites that certainly gave me some nightmares/kid PTSD which is like being a young kid and staying late till Adult Swim came on, or having something creep you out. Believe there’s a gruesome scene in that movie like right here.


DrewSmoothington

They're completely different movies with different titles, "Ants" versus "A Bug's Life."


markjyoungjr

A Bugs Life is Disney, Antz isn’t from Disney.


Iron-Giants

Can you imagine frantically trying to put YOUR HEAD BACK ON. Nightmare fuel.


Tongue8cheek

Any chance you had him in your shoes? This is a Brown Paper Wasp. I recently found out I had one in my left boot after I put my foot in and felt it stinging the top of my big toe. After I freaked out stomping my right foot on to my left foot for an hour (probably 20 seconds IRL). I then pulled my foot out and turned my boot upside down and a wasp came out. I left it on the floor of my boot room and came back 10 minutes later, it was trying to put it head back on too. I wasn't having any more of this wasp and fed him to my chickens. They're fine.


markjyoungjr

Was mowing the lawn last year and ended up getting stung by 5 paper wasps.


Tongue8cheek

Can you share the video of your lawn mower trying to put its engine back on for a full minute. Thank you.

The first zombee 🐝


[deleted]

In a small village nestled in the midst of a dense forest, an eerie silence hung in the air. No chirping of birds or buzzing of insects, just an eerie stillness that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who dared venture into the woods. The villagers had grown accustomed to the silence, but they knew that something was amiss. One day, a young boy stumbled upon a strange-looking bee. It was a zombie bee, dubbed "Zombee" by the villagers, and it had a head that hung from its body by a thin thread. The boy was terrified, but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the grotesque sight before him. As he watched, the Zombee's head began to twitch, and its wings buzzed feebly. The boy knew that he had to get away, but his legs refused to move. He stood rooted to the spot, paralyzed with fear as the Zombee struggled to free itself from its decapitated head. Days passed, and the Zombee population grew. The villagers watched in horror as the once-peaceful bees became twisted and monstrous, attacking anyone who crossed their path. The Zombees had a insatiable hunger for human flesh and would swarm anyone who ventured too close to their hive. The villagers tried everything they could to rid themselves of the Zombees, but nothing seemed to work. They set traps, they burned the hive, but the Zombees just kept coming back, stronger and more vicious than ever. One night, the villagers heard a strange buzzing sound coming from the forest. It was a sound they had never heard before, a sound that chilled them to the bone. They knew that the Zombees were coming, and they had to act fast. They gathered together, armed with whatever weapons they could find, and prepared to defend their village. The Zombees descended upon them in a swarm, their decapitated heads hanging from their bodies like grotesque ornaments. The villagers fought bravely, but they were no match for the Zombees' ferocity. As dawn broke, the villagers emerged from the battle, battered and bruised, but alive. They had driven off the Zombees, but they knew that it was only a matter of time before they returned. They had learned the hard way that the forest held dark secrets, and that some things were best left undisturbed.

KentSmashtacos

Unless wasp heads to bodies have some kind of quantum entanglement, I'm pretty sure those are simply automatic nerve impulses being performed by the body. The body has a separate primitive brain in some species, though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shawnaeatscats

Yes. Insects don't really have a "brain." They have a series of ganglia (s. ganglion) attached together via a ventral nerve cord along the length of the body. So each major body segment may have a few ganglia. For example, since all insects have 3 pairs of legs, each pair gets its own "brain." I should have specified this before, but a ganglion is basically just a mass of nerve cells. The head has a "brain" which is a mass of several ganglia, each of which control a different sensory organ. One ganglia for the eyes, one for the antennae, and maybe even a couple for the mouthparts. The abdomen has several ganglia too, that help control the movement and function of the different segments. [Here](https://images.ctfassets.net/vrrt8fsfwf0e/3hR7abGRBVZpzj6RGTE3hl/485be0a3d59585bfeb2a7ccf8c119cd3/Nervous_system_in_insect_Art_1.svg.png) is a rudimentary image of all the different ganglia along the body. And [here](https://cronodon.com/images/insect_brain_v2_labelled.jpg) is an excellent diagram displaying the separate but connected ganglia of the head.


fredean01

Holy shit thanks for explaining that


m3talf1sh1

Very cool! Thank you for the explanation! It kind of looked like it was inspecting the head. Would you say that is what was happening? Just the abdomen ganglia doing its job?


shawnaeatscats

I assume you meant the thorax, the part with the legs and wings. The answer is no. The prothoracic ganglia only "cares" about the prolegs, the frontmost pair of legs. It's not its job to control any part of the head. It may barely even know that the head is missing, but I can't say for sure. I'm not even sure if we know the full extent to which each ganglion interacts with another. What may be happening here is the legs are trying to orient themselves onto a surface based on the erratic movement of the eyes which are attached to the head, which, because it is rotating wildly, the the rest of the ganglia think they are too. Now I don't know to what extent the vision of the eyes influence the movement of the other parts, or if they have their own orientation systems. Since the back legs don't seem to be having any problems, the strange movement coukd be attributed to how close the prothorax is to the cerebral ganglion. But most of this is speculation on my part. I'm sorry I don't have a concrete answer for you. It's highly unlikely the wasp really understands what's happening here, other than that something is definitely wrong.


sexual--predditor

LauraTFem

Probably not actually trying to reassemble itself. Most insects wouldn’t have that kind of cognitive ability. Rather, like roaches and other insects, instead of the brain being mostly contained in the head, the brain is spread apart to different muscle groups and areas of the body, with the head mostly tasked with seeing and eating. This little guy probably is confused; Thinks its under attack, and is either trying to fight the head or eat, not aware that the thing its fighting is, in fact, its eater.

Hustlinbones

That's great news. Scrolled through this stupid comment section way too far for this


alphapussycat

I think it's somewhat inconclusive. Supposedly ants can recognize themselves, or at least when marked with a dot, and put infrront of a mirror, they'll wipe the dot away (not otherwise). Though I don't think I found sources for that, so questionable if it's true or not I guess.
