A slingshot-shaped hunter digs in on Deep Look

Two new Shorts explore wormlion pit traps and the surprisingly noisy courtship of sharpshooter insects.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Wormlions curl their bodies like slingshots, flinging sand and pebbles aside to build a trap. That tiny feat of excavation supplies Deep Look's most-watched new upload, "Watch a Clueless Ant Fall Into a Wormlion's Lair | #DeepLook #Shorts," which has reached about 36,000 views.

These hunters are fly larvae, usually found beneath rock or log overhangs in dry, sandy places. The comments turn their hunting grounds into science fiction: viewers invoke the Sarlacc pit from Star Wars, pick out the flicking motion and ask how wormlions relate to the more familiar antlions. One viewer recalls similar pits in a grandparent's sandy Georgia driveway.

The week's other new Short, "These Vibrating Insects Send Strange Mating Calls | #DeepLook #Shorts," moves from ambush to courtship. Sap-feeding sharpshooters shake their abdomens to send signals through plants. Amplified in a laboratory, those calls can resemble chickens, monkeys or a revving motorcycle. A vineyard has quite a soundtrack if you have the equipment to hear it.

Across the channel, daily viewing is below its usual pace, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Among nearby science channels, Dr Ben Miles had a much busier week; Captain Disillusion and NightHawkInLight were quieter.

Deep Look's strongest daily momentum among the highlighted uploads belongs to an older Short about a hissing cockroach's mite cleaning crew. The wormlion follows it, while the longer "This Fly's Face Does WHAT? | Deep Look" continues drawing views with its collection of animal transformations, from house flies to regenerating flatworms.
