Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to its unusual and slightly gross subject matter (mealworms interacting with a toy), combined with a sense of curiosity and experimentation. The use of on-screen text and quick cuts keeps the viewer engaged.
Summary
The video shows a person interacting with mealworms and a plush toy dinosaur. The mealworms are placed on the toy, and the person sprays it with water to see how the mealworms react. The video documents the process over several days.
