Dragonflies Up Close

[Whatlander]

WOW, you have no idea how long I've been looking for an up-close reference of dragonfly mouthparts. THis was exactly what I needed, thanks!

[MsObleo]

Good camera work.

[2psah]

Say CHEEEEEESSSEEE!

[Anything2bCool]

[93lovelylady]

i remember seeing a blue dragonfly at camp one time up close.x33 I love that their heads look like that of a helicopter pilot's helmet/mask. xDD

[poptropicapa]

0:04 oh hai there!!

[dragonparty2]

Their ends pulsate because it's how they breathe.

[HabboScamVids1]

personally, the ones with the large pulsating back ends scare me :o

[thenoize]

Nice shots :o)

[Dellaphobe]

They are all smiling for the camera

[MissMysterics]

I noticed the dragonflies' eyes seem to shine in a manner simular to a semiprecious stone known as chrysoberyl, such shining of light is known as chatoyancy, but I don't think it is the same as we see here.

[MrSyntheticDesign]

i would take an infestation of these guys rather than water moths any day

[vanjastanic]

Now i see they're ugly.

[MrSyntheticDesign]

@vanjastanic do you like mosquetos? because what im going to tell you will make you believe that dragonflies are the most beautiful insects on the planet, they EAT mosquetos!

[sneakytouchyourplace]

I love how the blue one smiles at the camera.

[MrPetenice09]

[coralinejonesish]

[jaxjacoby]

Okay ... Reminds me of Koontz "Phantoms" ... I sleep good tonight!! LOL

[scldrgnfly]

Very neat! You've certainly "captured" them!

[roosterfeather]

Amazing!

[sprtn007]

It's funny how they took the form of a helicopter.

[jabarisr]

i like the music it make it funny

[trakernaker]

lol

[LtSunkissed]

Sorry, had to add something else. It'd be cute if each dragonfly had a voiceover, something to say. I don't know.

[LtSunkissed]

Whoa, the last one totally tripped me out. It's eyes changed. How does that happen?

[timvid]

I haven't found an explanation online, but I assume it's some kind of prism effect - reflecting light at different colors depending on the angle. It's a lot like the last shot on my "Hummingbirds" video -- the bird's throat isn't really red, but when it turns and the light hits it just right it looks like a brilliant red because there are prisms in those feathers.

[LtSunkissed]

That's pretty amazing. I really like how each close-up provides a quirky expression....almost. A slight turn of the head here, there. Smiles. Jaws chomping. It really as been an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing.

[quingermanfrog]

@timvid or It simply could be reflection but it mightbe a prism effect.

[BROOKLYNBEAST226]

@LtSunkissed That's just the reflection of the sun.

[MarBemTEvi]

Amazing!

[kclama]

Amazing close-up and actions...
