Ant Lab is the Youtube channel we visit anytime we want to see a cool new video about bugs. It’s run by Dr. Adrian Smith and one of his latest videos shows very interesting footage of various insects taking flight in slow-motion. If you’ve ever been curious to see how insects actually fly, this video is the right one for you.
The six-minute video shows six insects taking flight in slow-motion: weevils, katydids, bark lice, march fly, assassin bug, and then another katydid. “All insects were collected between July – November in Raleigh, NC, except the bush katydid which was from New Hampshire,” he notes in the video description for those who are curious about it.
It should be noted, however, that the video does get a bit graphic. It may be a tad frightening for some to see these insects enlarged to such an extent.
However, if this kind of thing is totally right up your alley, then you should check out the video, and subscribe to Ant Lab’s Youtube channel as well! Indeed, Dr. Smith publishes the most amazing content there on a regular basis. After all, it never hurts to learn a little bit more about nature, right?
Bugs are truly fascinating creatures, and this video will show that you in a way you’ve never experienced before. What’ve you got to lose?
