Carnivorous Snowflakes! Or Baby Starfish? | Deep Look Six-rayed sea stars make great moms! Unlike most sea stars, mama six-rayed sea stars are VERY involved in their kids' lives, caressing and protecting their babies for months. When they're big enough, the youngsters venture out on their own to ruthlessly hunt down their tiny prey. SUBSCRIBE to Deep Look! https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 Please join our community on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deeplook DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. --- The California shoreline is home to the tiny six-rayed sea star. About the size of a bottle cap, these diminutive starfish have an unusually attentive style of raising their young. “Most sea stars use a broadcast spawning method,” says Berenice Baca-Ceballos, a graduate student at San Francisco State University. Broadcast spawners release huge numbers of eggs and sperm directly into the water. The lucky ones meet and develop into larvae that grow up all on their own. Most never reach adulthood. But mama six-rayed stars of the genus Leptasterias are different. “The mother sea star will sit on her eggs for about two to three months until her eggs develop, hatch, and grow into little juvenile sea stars,” says Baca-Ceballos. “She’s like a mother chicken. The female sea star sits on her eggs until the little baby sea stars, that look like delicate living snowflakes, are ready to adventure out.“ This style of holding on to their young as they develop is called brooding. While six-rayed sea stars have many fewer offspring than most sea stars, they spend more time taking care of their young. “By protecting her young, the six-rayed star increases the chances that her babies will survive,” Baca- Ceballos says. --- How do starfish move? Starfish move using hydraulic pressure. They have a system of canals, called the water vascular system, which run through their bodies. The canals connect to a large number of tiny flexible tube feet that end in adhesive pads. A starfish contracts muscles to adjust the hydraulic pressure in the tube feet, allowing it to crawl along surfaces. --- How do starfish eat? Starfish are mostly carnivores. Many types of starfish eat shellfish like mussels, clams and snails. A starfish will use its numerous tube feet to slowly pry open its prey’s shell. Once it has opened the shell enough, the starfish will extend its stomach out through its mouth to digest its prey alive. Some types of starfish also eat small fish, plankton and detritus. --- Do starfish have eyes? Starfish usually have a simple eyespot at the tip of each arm. Also called ocelli, these eyespots can only sense light and dark. ---+ For more information: The Cohen Lab at San Francisco State University studies six-rayed sea stars of the genus Leptasterias. https://sarahcoh0.wixsite.com/cohenlab ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Ever Seen a Starfish Gallop? | Deep LooK https://youtu.be/9rxf_2EgwfE?si=Sh8s_FGGcxa8QWuD Sea Urchins Pull Themselves Inside Out to Be Reborn | Deep Look https://youtu.be/ak2xqHCo5h0YY?si=j1PkWkJ6Z5SyocZV A Sand Dollar’s Breakfast Is Totally Metal | Deep Look https://youtu.be/dxZdBPDNiF4?si=bX7cnnx1CS5aO6PP ---+ Shoutout! 🏆Congratulations🏆 to the following fans on our Deep Look Community Tab for correctly answering our GIF challenge!

Meet the Bug You Didn't Know You Were Eating | Deep Look The cochineal is a tiny insect deeply rooted in the history of Oaxaca, Mexico. Female cochineals spend most of their lives with their heads buried in juicy cactus pads, eating and growing. After cochineals die, their legacy lives on in the brilliant red hue produced by their hemolymph. Dyes made from cochineal have been used in textiles, paintings, and even in your food! https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 Please join our community on PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/deeplook DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. — The cochineal, a tiny insect deeply rooted in the history of Oaxaca, Mexico, is known for the vibrant crimson color it produces. This color comes from carminic acid in its hemolymph, a fluid equivalent to blood in other organisms. As nymphs, cochineals search for a spot on cactus pads to feed and settle in. They quickly develop a protective white wax coating to shield themselves from the hot sun. Once a female cochineal finds a perfect spot, she attaches permanently, living there for the rest of her life. Indigenous people in Mexico have been harvesting cochineals by brushing them off cacti and sun-drying them long before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. By the 1700s, their pigment was as valuable as silver, establishing cochineals as a prized global commodity. In Oaxaca, weavers continue to use cochineal dye. They grind dried cochineal on a metate, dissolve the powder in boiling water to dye wool, and then weave the dyed wool into stunning designs on a loom. Dyes made from cochineal have been used in textiles, paintings, and even in your food as a natural alternative to artificial dyes. --- Which types of food contain cochineal? Cochineal can be found in some brands of candies, ice cream, beverages, yogurt, fish and meat. Allergies to cochineal are possible but rare. --- Where is cochineal found? Today, Peru is the largest commercial producer of the cochineal, followed by Mexico. This insect is also found in other parts of South America, the Canary Islands, and the southwestern United States. Additionally, the cochineal was introduced to countries like Ethiopia and South Africa, where it became a pest. --- Besides red, what other colors are made from cochineal? Cochineals are a natural way of obtaining brilliant reds, pinks, oranges and purples. ---+ Find additional resources and a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1992430/meet-the-bug-you-didnt-know-you-were-eating ---+ More Great Deep Look episodes: Silkworms Spin Cocoons That Spell Their Own Doom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgavTIBQ_Z0 Watch Ladybugs Go From Goth to Glam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCFUk4f3zXw The Ladybug Love-In: A Valentine's Special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Z6xRexbIU Why Did the Mexican Jumping Bean Jump? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lkdidU79TY&t=25s You'd Never Guess What an Acorn Woodpecker Eats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvPaiDX_3JM ---+ Shoutout!

Cochineal is in your food as "carmine," and turns textiles a historically-coveted brilliant red. It is made out of cactus-eating bugs from Oaxaca, Mexico—where the latest KQED Science #DeepLook from my sweetie & team was filmed (alas, he was not part of the field crew).
