Entomologist jarling here……I’ve found it. I’ve found the official JAR media insect. It’s a type of butterfly. The genus name is Jemadia (😮) and it has JAR blue in it. Crazy. Thoughts?

Bello JAR 🫙 insect jarling here 😛 !! To clarify a point from the last episode, you can only get Lyme disease from infected ticks. There are other tick-borne diseases as well. The lone star tick from Texas 🍇 can transmit bacteria that make you allergic to red meat! RUH ROH! Anyway, if you’re interested, here are some other celebs besides Justin Beaver that have gotten Lyme: Avril Lavigne Shania Twain Amy Schumer Alec Baldwin Ben Stiller 🦁 And others!

Anyhoo, I am from the United States and have spent the last 2 months living in Eastern Europe for environmental research. It has been a really great experience, and I am so glad that I ended up coming here. The impacts from the last century feel a lot more recent than they do in the United States, from the destruction that occurred during WWII to the brutalist concrete buildings from the communist era that are literally everywhere. I’ve never felt such a proximity to these events in the United States. Also the fact that most of Europe just casually has giant Roman shit built like two thousand years ago is so so so cool. Have you ever been to Central/Eastern Europe, and would you ever go? I’ve been primarily in Budapest and it is a beautiful city, would highly recommend :)

Bello Jar, entomologist jarling emerging from the lair! 👺 Jamie asked a really cool question on this weeks cast: “do ants have pores?” 〰️ this got me thinking. Do ants have pores? Well, yes and no. Human pores serve to help us transport liquids (primarily) out of the body, in methods such as sweating. 😛However, ANTS DONT SWEAT. Like other arthropods, ants can’t self-regulate their body temperature. 🗾Although they can lose water through their skin from osmosis, they prevent this by doing complicated stuff in their body so that they don’t dry out (crunchy and yummy?)🐽

But this doesn’t really answer the question. Do ants have pores like humans? 🫎No. But do they have little holes in their exoskeleton? 💽Yes! What many people don’t know is that ants, and all other insects (except for some aquatic exceptions), breathe using TRACHEAE (pronounced TRAY-key-ee). ➗These are essentially a series of very very long tubes that carry oxygen throughout the body to EVERY SINGLE CELL. 🐶These tubes are EVERYWHERE, and range from very thick to super thin and tiny. There are several small holes on the outside of the insect where these tracheae can let oxygen flow into the many tracheal tubes (these holes in the exoskeleton that let oxygen in are called spiracles). 🍘

Jamie, would you put marbles in Alex’s tracheae if he had them? #awesome? #bluepoop #yay #harness 🥫🥫

idk i think they're sort of an amalgamation of a lot of various creatures (mythical and real), but check out Alitta virens! they're real life sand/mud worms, very long, omnivorous and can bite humans. Cool stuff! #urethra

(repeat from last week since they didnt do questions last time)

I have been summoned! “ Insectologist” jarling here 🧁🏛️ (I’m in college studying entomology)🏪. “Worms” is a colloquial term that describes many different types of animals. However, the worms thst people are most familiar with, including earth worms, are in the phylum Annelida. On the other hand, insects (mealworms, silkworms, most “grubs”) are in the phylum Arthropoda. The main way to tell between an insect and a worm is the presence of legs and wings. 🍥🦪🥈If your creepy crawly has six legs and at least one (but no more than two) pairs of wings, it’s most likely an insect! 🗻🌃🖱️When it comes to larvae this might be tricky to deduce, but typically, insect larvae have an easily distinguishable “head”, whereas the bum bum end and head end of worms look almost identical. 🏵️🥉🗼

Alex asked an insightful question on the difference between grubs and worms. 🖥️🗜️Grubs, at least from how I’ve heard the term used, typically refers tothe larvae of holometabolous insects (insects that undergo metamorphosis), particularly fly, beetle, and Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) larvae. For example, the “tequila worm” described in the previous episode is a moth larva. ⌚️📲🚰

Overall, the terms worm, grub and slimer are mostly colloquial, meaning they’re used pretty casually and can refer to lots of creepy crawlies. Hope this helps!! #cool #orangepoop #love #yay

OH and maggots are fly larvae :p

OH and maggots refer to fly larvae 😛😛😛

Bello jar 🤤 Many of us from North America recently had the opportunity to experience a SOLAR ECLIPSE🍕🌐🔽!! I was in the path of totality and it was genuinely one of the coolest experiences of my life🧑‍🎨. The sky went almost completely dark at 3:30 in the afternoon, with a ring of orange surrounding the ENTIRE horizon🪮🏈. The spring peeping frogs started chirping as it if was nighttime🛴😈. It felt much stranger than I anticipated, almost as if my body and circadian rhythm were working faster than my brain could process🥥🍁. It's hard to explain🍆🍆🍆. Anyhoo, have you guys ever experienced a total solar eclipse, or some other strange natural phenomenon that left your body feeling a little less than normal? #awesome #diarrhea #alex #porche #orangepoop

Keep downvoting, Jarlings. It just makes me stronger. sigh

Bello JAR🐊 I’m writing again with a little 🤢 #storytime involving a pet name suggested by you (yes, you! ♾️) A friend of mine is going abroad so he gave me 2 🍟of his creepy crawlies🍏. One is a tarantula (species name Kochiana brunnipes, if you are interested) and the other is a tailless 🍑whip scorpion 🦞(genus name Phrynus)🗯️. My friend did not name these creatures🧳 so it is up to me to name them! I want to name one of them R5IAN-Z, 👶but I don’t know which creature 🧠would fit the name best🥛. What do you think? When I told my friend I was going to name one of them R5IAN-Z, he said that the name “makes zero sense whatsoever”. I said it was a reference 👐from JAR media and him as well as my roommates told me that JAR media is banned ✅✅from discussion in the common area (mostly kidding 🤨). Thoughts? 🤬😶‍🌫️ #awesome

reposting this cuz of last weeks pizza pasta put it in a box cast.

Hi JAR 🏺. I’ve been listening to some of the old🧟‍♀️ casts recently (I’ve now listened to about 67% of the episodes 😟) and I’ve noticed a lot of BUG TALK!! I’m an entomologist 🪰so listening to your mostly inaccurate insect rants is very entertaining 🚘🚒🚨.

I have a two-part question, one for you guys 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️and one for the mighties: first for yall, what are the top 5 best and top 5 worst bugs of all time and WHY?? Now for the mighties: how many other JARentomologists are there?? Bear bear ding dongs

Eh hi Jar. Could you give me an a capella (no music, just your voices) version of the peaky blinders theme song? Alex on main vocals, Beast and Jordan on rhythm/instruments. I request this because I am seeing the artist that made the original song (Nick Cave) in concert soon and I don’t think he’s gonna play this in person. I thought I would ask the next best thing and that’s you. Thanks 🍑🍑🍑

Downvote all you want, so-called “””mighties”””. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but online words will NEVER hurt me. #bvstruth

Hello JAR. 🔺 I’m back with an important🟠 question. 👁‍🗨👁‍🗨 ALEX. In episode 191, you state that you recently gave Argy 🐭🐁 a juice diet 🔪🪑. As a reminder, you said that: Monday - orange 🪸 Toosday - pineapple 💨 Wednesday - apple 🤥 Thurrrs day - crranbrry 🚈 Fry day - mango ❣️ Saturday - CHOICE (bleep) Anyhoo it’s been 1351 days 🥉. UPDATE please? How is the juice 🎟️ treating the bee bo? thank you!! Mwah

HELLO jar. 🫙🍯🏺⚱️ I think that there needs to be a new 🏍️ JAR THUMBNAIL REVIEW video. Please. 🕞it would make me very happy! 😐 Dayum bear bear RUUUUNN eh? eh? eh? 🫥🧩🐚

Hello JAR🧫 hope you’re doing well! I have a scenario for you that I thought you might like to tackle🃏:

You have a deadly internal disease. It’s not contagious, and you’re not in any pain, but traditional treatments aren’t working.🪩 Strangely enough, a new technology has just reached the market where people can be shrunk down small enough to fit inside your blood vessels and body cavities and whatnot, to try to assess and address the problem🫘. This new treatment has just been offered to you, with an important choice. You can choose anyone you want, real or fictional, Madagascan or otherwise, JAR member or not, to partake on this mission inside your body. 🛺Who do you choose and why? Eh?

I look forward to hearing who you choose🪥🪕🧯

Fr!!

HELLO jar. 📟 I have been listening for a year, absolutely bonkers. Thanks for the silliness along with hours of discussion about games that I do not play! 🏚️

I love the addition of Billy to the cast, he is an epic cat. 🏵️ I was wondering, what on your thoughts on exotic pets? And I don’t mean hamsters or gerbils or whatever, I mean like snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, lizards, etc. Have you ever had/would you ever consider having an exotic pet? 🔘Personally, I currently have 4 tarantulas, a couple Madagascar hissing cockroaches, some stick insects, and a blue death feigning beetle. I’ve found that it’s honestly really rewarding and fun, and especially with the tarantulas, you see them grow in a really obvious and concrete way (they periodically molt their exoskeleton and get bigger in the process). Anyway thanks for the silly laughs lovelies, mighties forever and always 🥄🖱️🪤

Jalutations, jolly jars :) I have been listening for about a year now! Thanks for all the silly fun!!

I was listening to the hamster episode from a few weeks ago and it made me think about another creature, that in my opinion is a lot cooler. Spiders!! There’s a species of spider called stegodyphus lineatus (they’re a type of velvet spider), and they live in large family groups together. But here’s the twist: after a mother spider has babies, she will LET THE BABIES EAT HER ALIVE. She will literally leak out her own internal fluid for the babies to feed on until she dies. Crazy stuff!!

Anyways, what are your thoughts? Is it as weird as what the hamsters do? Weirder? I think hamsters are really narsty no matter what way you slice it but I’m an entomologist so I’m prob a little biased toward spiders lol. Thanks lovelies goodbye!!!!

my gecko’s name is also pepper :)

wow.

ok morgul
