Summary

The passage is a transcript of a video where the host, Coyote Peterson, is setting up a "bug theater" in a jungle setting. The theater is designed to attract various insects to a white sheet hung between two poles. The insects are attracted by a 250-watt bulb that emits UVB rays, and the host plans to film the insects' behavior.

The host, Coyote Peterson, and his team set up a bug theater using a white sheet and a 250-watt bulb that emits UVB rays. They also use a modified black lamp to attract insects. The lamp is designed to emit UV rays, which insects are attracted to. The host plans to film the insects' behavior as they land on the sheet.

The host identifies a variety of insects that come to the theater, including a tiger moth, a noisy wand, and a katydid. The host also discusses the lifecycle of the cicada, explaining how the adults lay eggs on trees, and the eggs hatch into nymphs that crawl up from the ground and transform into adults.

The host also shares an incident where he was bitten by a katydid while handling it. The katydid was the largest one he had ever seen. The host ends the episode by encouraging viewers to be brave and stay wild, and he invites viewers to subscribe to his channel to join him on his next location.
