It had not been seen for 38 years, was possibly thought extinct. Four times the size of a honey bee.

It has a very interesting/limited range. Only found on five islands, and only lives in active termite mounds.

That mandible looks like it would fit around the cap of a beer bottle. Wonder if you can train them?

Is this for real or is this for show? Both? I have no way to really judge this.

Sorry, forgot to recheck the thread.

It's for real. He intentionally has all these different critters sting or bite him and records the event and after effects for his YouTube channel. He debuted a new show on Animal Planet this month.

Another one found this week.
Not seen since 1906, need to find a male though.
