00:00 Amazing! This is the amazing insect story that you will surely love.
00:05 If the surroundings are this beautiful, it's so fun to go camping.
00:18 That's the trend now.
00:20 And of course, a lot of campers go camping to vlog.
00:24 But one vlogger seems to have already been camped.
00:28 [Music]
00:34 One person went camping
00:36 and encountered a laughing encounter.
00:41 It's just 11.50am.
00:47 I think I was shocked by what I heard.

00:59 Mike Carvalho has been camping for 10 years.
01:02 Last year, he started recording and posting his adventures in his Mike Calista Vlogs.
01:10 We will camp in the riverside.
01:13 This is the spot I chose.
01:14 There it is.
01:16 To be safe, Mike is saying goodbye not only to the barangay officials but also to...
01:24 I'm saying goodbye to the person who's watching over us.
01:29 We can't see him but I'm saying goodbye to him.
01:32 But even a veteran can still be surprised
01:37 by the sounds of sleep
01:40 and the sounds of animals behind.
01:46 Can you hear the animals?
01:48 It's scary here.
01:51 I'm just going to stand here.
01:54 I'm sorry.
01:56 We'll go back to the camp.
01:58 Is it possible that it's a natural creature?
02:02 As natural as an insect?
02:05 It's 5.30am and the sun is already setting.
02:08 I heard someone laughing.
02:11 I followed where the sound came from.
02:14 But it came from a small fish.
02:17 It's a fish.
02:18 According to experts of UP Los Baños, there are 15 kinds of fish.
02:28 And in one of them, the fish makes a laughing sound to make the woman laugh.
02:35 But even if it's too loud, Mike is not surprised by being a camper and nature lover.
02:44 [music]
02:49 The Filipinos take care of all kinds of animals in the provinces to earn money.
02:54 There are chickens, pigs, and cows.
02:57 But this one that I'm going to introduce to you is a special breed.
03:01 It's a six-legged animal.
03:04 [music]
03:16 Are you adventurous when it comes to food?
03:19 [chewing]
03:22 It's just a rabbit.
03:23 What if the one I'm going to feed you is a flying insect?
03:33 The insect farmer Edwin Peruelo takes care of these insects.
03:38 [music]
03:41 Edwin used to be a call center agent, but he got addicted to breeding reptiles.
03:47 I started breeding reptiles in 2008.
03:52 I thought, instead of buying their food, why don't I just breed their food?
03:58 I breed insects, such as Dubia roaches, Black African crickets, house crickets, and superworms.
04:07 These are their main diet.
04:09 Edwin also enjoys farming insects.
04:16 I usually sell exotic people like me, like pet shops,
04:23 and other farmers who breed reptiles.
04:30 They're sold per piece.
04:32 Their minimum price is P250, depending on the number of orders.
04:38 [music]
04:40 Did you know that Edwin not only breeds animals, but also insects?
04:44 I also supply other products for human consumption.
04:50 I also have friends who cook them.
04:54 Edwin's children also learned how to eat creepy crawlies.
05:01 I've tried it. It tastes like peanuts.
05:05 It's rich in fiber and micronutrients, such as iron, magnesium, and zinc.
05:11 That's why many people say that insects are the food of the future.
05:17 [music]
05:22 In the beauty and color of this insect, you'd think it's a flower.
05:29 Meet the orchid mantis, a species of praying mantis found in Southeast Asia.
05:36 Its color is a mixture of white and pink.
05:38 It doesn't stand in the middle of orchids that look like it.
05:42 Instead, it hangs out alone in a place with leaves and flowers.
05:48 Even if predators like mongoose, bat, and other insects come,
05:53 it doesn't move.
05:55 It's crazy.
05:57 It's amazing.
