I am a simple man. I see a big worm, I make a video of it. Here's a link to the email list. I send out an email when I upload to the main channel: www.smartereveryday.com/email-list

The real question is: Is it magnetic?
-
It's a parasitic horse hair worm that feeds on crickets and frogs and such. They're attracted to water and they lay their eggs when it rains
-
I like how he started to touch it with his hands… Then alarm bells went off in his head and said “hold up sir we are smarter than this. We don’t know what it is… let’s use our tools.”
-
"Are you a worm? What are you?" Was gutted when that didn't work.
-
That's a snake that's taken dieting too seriously.
-
This is the raw, unedited stuff I love sometimes
-
A quick google search shows that those might have been horsehair worms, which are absolutely terrifying and amazing at the same time!
-
I believe that is a horse hair worm which is an endoparasite. It takes over its host. Which is usually a grasshopper/preying mantis or another insect of that sort. It will live there and grow until it is ready to emerge. At that point it will cause its host to jump into water and drown itself. The worm is fairly reliant on being in or around water and can't live long without it.

It's stitching from the supersonic baseballs that's still twirling from the impact

Main channel: Lets go to the arctic or the gulf coast and engage with the best the US military has to offer Second channel: big worm
-
Long stringy worm sounds internal parasite alarms to me: if they live by absorbing nutrients from their host through their skin, they need to grow in length rather than diameter, in order to maintain their surface/volume ratio and absorption capabilities. Better not touch until identified and confirmed harmless to you. That said - massive thanks for sharing all the little things that tickle your attention and curiosity.
-
I think that may be a parasite. Ground worms don’t typically grow that long.
-
Destin, please never change! You're child-like awe and curiosity of the world around you is something I also have, and I admire a lot about you!
-
my grandma called them Horsehair worms.
-
I am a simple man. I see Destin upload a big worm, I click it.
-
We call that chow here, in every restaurant
-
Either horse-hair, parasitic worm (nematomorpha) or maybe the rare predatory Haplotaxis gordioides.
-
That's one of those things you find bursting out of the chests of grass hoppers and spiders, it's an awful parasite!
-
I can't be the only one who thought he was about to cut it up
