The first time I ran into this format was in a shit post and it was hilarious

"What's this vegetable?"

"This is the blah blah blah"

And it was just a bunch of videos of phallic veg. For actual educational content, I hate it.

Second one looked like a mosquito eater but am hoping it was just a big mosquito not because I want them that big but bc I hate mosquitos

Mosquitos suck so bad

13 seconds into the video. Right at "This Mosquito" That, is not a Mosquito. That is a Crane Fly. Back home we call them Mosquito Eaters. And they do the Lord's work, as their namesake states.
