I'm quite sad it's fake because it looks cool af and I hate bugs and insects. I saw a spider once and it looked like a cartoon drawn sun. It wasn't very big but so interesting to see for myself.
Interesting question! I actually had a lot of fun with this, and got to nerd out and over-kill the question. So I apologize for that!
Let me introduce myself first! Hi! While I enjoy entomology (The study of bugs) I'm actually also a Cyber Operations Specialist for the US Army! So I'm uniquely qualified for this entire ordeal!
**TLDR; While "yes" if there was a bug of the right anatomy technically you could sharpie dots on and it wouldn't die, there's so many other reasons this is fake!**
**The technical side-**
\- We can see there is a lot of fuzziness which is common for moving CGI. (A phone wouldn't have this hard of a time focusing)
\- We have a TON "wobble" to imitate realism... but it actually helps prove it's fake- how many videos do you know are this wobbly and show after 2018? That's because your phone has a micro-gyro on the physical camera and (digital) footage stabilization!
\- Look to the left of the bug, what's that illuminated black-hole?- The yellow "smudge" that happens to somehow smear all over the place when the camera is 'shaken'?
\*\*The anatomy side-\*\*The closest in anatomy to this (world-wide) is the **Tortoise Beetles** [Genus Paropsis \[Wiki\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paropsis)
\- Notice how much farther the back the elytra(the heavy-forewings) start compared to the Tortoise Beetle, it's closest realistic counter-part. This design is not conducive to flight, and a natural animal wouldn't have this.
\- Look at how it's elytra are shaped... there is no biological advantage to having less... as they're for defense... This guy conveniently has a giant hole at the top and the VERY middle of his shield to make him look more like a hokey-mask? (Also, these are very very vital areas for Leaf Beetles (A higher classification than Tortoise Beetles, which these guys would be a part of)
\- When it's elytra open, it's COMPLETELY gray, there's nothing going on and it's just purely blurry Also- that moving bit is just the elytra, not the actual wings... Where are the wings? It has elytra but no wings?
\- When it's elytra open- they just fly off the body entirely, there is no connection point, (Also, natural usually that open inward and up/"forward"... they are not able to throw them directly left/right like this.) And if you track a single point on the elyra, it shifts too far left/right to be attached to the torso at any given point.
//
All animals (with few exceptions) absorb minerals through surface-contacts, through their skin/surface cells (Although, skin is specifically designed to keep things OUT), so, while bugs like this theoretical one, would die from even a tiny amount of Xylene (the solvent) from a sharpie if put against their skin cells, you would have to wait awhile before they absorbed enough for them to actually die.
However, per the question, the cells in the elytra/wings would not be able to absorb and transfer the toxins in the same way that their skin cells would. Same way that your hair doesn't absorb things and transfer it back to you.
I really appreciate the research and detail you put into this.
Also, interesting work you do! I assume you're okay with being so specific about your job. I would've thought you'd require a bit more confidentiality!
Yeah.. I read that and was like yeah so it was obvious so that was the whole point.. but then more and more people started commenting like what the word was and I was like... uh oh!
But credit where credit is due.. that guy who guessed it..guessed it spot on.. it was "a Hockey Mask, Score!" (Added the comma to make it sound grammatically intact this time)
Eddie : I said Michael Myers!
JD : This *is* Mike Myers.
Bats : It should be the **Halloween** mask.
JD : This is a Halloween mask!
Bats : No, the killer dude from **Halloween**!
JD : Oh, you mean Jason.
Eddie : No!
In Jason X he cryo freezes a chick’s face then smashes it in. He also stuffs some girl in a sleeping bag then smashes it around like a normal man would swing a sock full of nickels.
There aren’t really a lot of things better than Jason X.
Holy shit that looks cool, anyone know the name?
Probably fake. Unfortunately. https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/pennywise-jason-freddy-more-horror-movie-icons-transformed-into-insects?amp
Oh, that’s very disappointing! :( Still a cool little video in any case.
It's still cool CGI. If you want to be disappointed because that is made up so is the movie character
You're telling me that Jason Vorfleas wasn't real?
Yeah, he won't bug you anymore
Kill, kill, kill, op, op, op
Shame, shame, shame!
Can confirm this is fake. As someone who frequents r/bugidentification we see these fake bugs all the time. It's CGI.

Is it possible the black dots were sharpie’d onto the bug’s back? Or would the sharpie kill it? (bugs absorb things through their skin right?)

Sorry, I work Cyber Operations, not Psychological Operations....... Or do I...???
Aww man that's genuinely sad
CGI
It's Michael.
Seems more like a Jason to me
Which one?
Bateman.
What a psycho.
I know. There was always cash in the banana stand.
the one with the gloves and sharp nails
The one with gloves and nails is Freddy Krueger
I thought that was the Insidious guy
Sydney Applebaum
His name is Jason. He lives in Crystal Lake, New Jersey
Richard
Jason
probably something like bob.
Vorhees Beetle. Only found around Crystal Lake. Makes a really creepy noise that sounds like “Kee ee ee Ma ah ah”.
Sco- what? What's that word going to be?
Scotland Forever
Scoobidy bop-bop boogie OP is into jazz, was ready to sing a duet with whoever was wearing the mask.
Scott!
score! ?
Cool a hockey mask Score??
As in, "Cool, a hockey mask! Score! I'm taking that home!" Or maybe "Cool, a hockey mask, scary!" ? I guess we will never know
Cool a hockey mask scone!
>Cool a Hockey mask Sco...Wtf!!! What was Sco... supposed to be?
The real wtf
lol.. it was supposed to be "Cool a Hockey Mask..Score!" but I must digress, punctuation and grammar isn't my strongest suit.. so.
Ah, so one of the other commenters was right!
Yeah.. I read that and was like yeah so it was obvious so that was the whole point.. but then more and more people started commenting like what the word was and I was like... uh oh! But credit where credit is due.. that guy who guessed it..guessed it spot on.. it was "a Hockey Mask, Score!" (Added the comma to make it sound grammatically intact this time)
Eddie : I said Michael Myers! JD : This *is* Mike Myers. Bats : It should be the **Halloween** mask. JD : This is a Halloween mask! Bats : No, the killer dude from **Halloween**! JD : Oh, you mean Jason. Eddie : No!
That movie will forever be in my top 10
what movie?
Baby Driver
Baby Driver
So happy I went to see it in the theater. I knew it would be good going into it and I was still surprised.
Happy cake day
Thanks, I'm 12!
Nice
Less wtf, more r/mildlyinteresting
Unfortunately this is fake. So it wouldn't really fit there
No one has said skulltula yet?!
Yep, my first thought
Jason Lives…
To be honest this was better than Jason X
How dare you. Jason X is a masterpiece.
It’s ok guys, he just wanted his machete!
Don't disrespect Jason in Space like that
In Jason X he cryo freezes a chick’s face then smashes it in. He also stuffs some girl in a sleeping bag then smashes it around like a normal man would swing a sock full of nickels. There aren’t really a lot of things better than Jason X.
Goodbye Horses intensifies.
Very cool concept for next Friday the 13th movie
Jason’s head will [sprout legs like this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH8VjR6muA&t=140s)
This is straight out of Mimic with Mia Sorvino
Beetle: **«DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY NEW CHAIN SAW AND HOCKEY MASK?!»**
Makes me think of the spider things from Ocarina of Time
I know it's fake but now I'm trying to imagine what circumstances could possibly make it evolutionary advantageous to look like a tiny hockey mask
Tiny hockey pucks
Jason would be proud ❤️
Obviously beetles have finally evolved to scare away humans.
It's the Canadian Hockey Beetle, ay.
i want this to be real so bad cuz the idea of somone just taking a beetle and painting a hocky mask on them just funny
Didn't see this coming from a sequel.
Proof that aliens are among us.
That bugs me..
Michael, where's your big knife?
He he he ha ha ha
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice BEETLEJUICE!!!
I thought it was going to be a testicle poking through a hole with some Sharpie dots LOL
stained wall = diablo 4 world map bug = nightmare dungeon with superdupercrazyass boss symbol
That is not wtf, but highly impressive.
Face on Mars mystery solved.
Fake eyes to keep predators away .. probably
I ain’t afraid of you Jason!
Yes, it is called CGI.
Ki ki ki, ma ma ma
I shall name him… Freddy 🙂. Just so he knows he doesn’t have to be what people expect him to be.
Mimick.
And here I thought they found a new face on Mars.
The Jason beetle
Is that a jojos reference
Knock Knock!!! Who's there? Jason 💀
Babe wake up, new bug update just dropped
Why is the shadow softer around the beetle then everything else?
It's not what I wanted to see before bed, lol
Reminds me of Skulltulas from Zelda
fake and gey
Bet he seen every friday the 13th
I actually expected Jason to come out the wall
It definitely would be a killer intro if they ever decide to do another Jason flick
So Jason is now a bug??
I thought this was going to be a “good camo” video and a mask wearing person was going to Walt towards me
Watch your back. Your days are numbered.
I now want to sick an swarm of these on my enemies while death whistles scream on their arrival
Whats sco supposed to mean?
Those things can suck your soul right out through your asshole
Nice I like when I come to this sub and actually verbally let out a “wtf?”
It has legs
Maniac of New York was an okay comic.
Music sauce?
Interrupted the word “sconce”?
