.. whilst the whole time contributing very little back in the ways of good towards the earth. We are destroying this planet, and many other species on the planet without giving much back. That is essentially my definition of why we are a parasite to this planet.

We are parasitic in …
We are parasitic in the fact that while we do have some symbiotic relationships with other species on this earth, we are the only species who has a profoundly negative effect on the earth itself. The insect world helps the ecosystem, it is in fact the ecosystem in the sense that the environment is sustained by the insects. We evolved, after things have been established for millions of years, and we suddenly and rapidly ravage the lands through deforestation and global oil looting…

I’m intrigued to know what is your definition of a parasite. I think it’s an unfair characterization in light of the fact that we have the capability to do GOOD things for other species, and we often do.
We’re not parasites, any more than any other creature that derives and utilizes energy from its surroundings.

yes, they do milk them and the other insects give them free honey just for protection.
The ants protect them from others predators.
How amazing is that.

having seen and owning this entire program, I have gained new found respect for the planet we live on and the inhabitants of it, whilst also being enlightened to the idea of humans being parasites to such a beautiful earth..
very saddening, and will continually get worse unless we can come to grips with how poorly we treat this 3rd rock from the star we call our sun

I can remember squishing earwigs when I was little. That clip just like, blew my mind. I don’t know how to put it into words… like, I almost cried at how little I know about what’s going on with the rest of the world.

I’ve never seen anything like that when a whole ant colony is moving. The Soldiers just stand guard on both sides with their antlers open and ready to go. Crazyness.
