[garifuno110]

whats the music name?

[Pucangkor]

They destroyed my books when we were away from home nearly a month.

[warrioryoyoyo]

Pretty neat video but you have quite a lot of chromatic aberration there :C

[y2kjorgeavila]

I lost my Lunch

[MrHumerousify]

just rest on top of them for 24hrs and you be dead in no time!

[hAhan17]

do termites eat cement and bricks???

[27falcor]

umm what was the point of this vid?

[M0rb30uS]

can u use the macro lens to look at your semen?/ i wanna see what my babies look like

[RVqueen]

Termites are also a good source of Vitamin B12.

[cosminx2003]

that's disgusting..

[warforlips]

News for you buddy... You better get them under control because if you see termites in your yard, You HAVE them against your house.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@warforlips Solid reinforced concrete/cement block, we ditched all wood a few years ago because of rot and bugs. Only one interior wall with studs, sheet rock. Inspect every year.

[guitarpikz]

no more termites hate please....what did they do to you??? if your wood broke...it because they are hungry..LOL

[kryptiea]

use the lens for something good and burn them

[hessian144]

roflmao i cant believe i haven't seen a comment like this any wheres else. and truthfully that's probably what i would use one of them for. but i have never seen termites up close. i only find carpenter ants....and im not sure which is worse

[m3141592]

Personally I'd recommend mixing termite and honey ant dna with whatever insect has the highest concentrations of flammable oils in it's body.

Then a balloon of diesel analogue could grow in their abdomen. It's a bit frankenstein, but they could be the best thing since bees.

Not sure if you're the right crowd to go for that though.

[pvampire]

If I picked up a piece of wood in my back yard and saw termites like that, I think I'd be very afraid! :)

[Shaunt1]

They look like plastic, cool idea!

[babyjesusgod]

Thanks for sharing... really cool!

[squirrelbong]

this video makes me itchy

[egn83b]

They look like jelly bugs but if they turn wood into ethonol then finally there's a use but how do you get it from there mess they leave behide?

[jeremiahsineiii]

Do they taste as sweet as ants?

[ASSEMblerEX]

Thanks for this grate video!

[tetranoob]

nice video.

in the info section the scentence "While termite house and structure damage can be very difficult to control their conversion pathway of woody polymers to sugars that can then be fermented into fuels such as ethanol." doesnt make sense. perhaps the addition of "can be usefull.' would work.

apologies for my poor spelling :o)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you, I will fix it, I wrote in a separate program and copy pasted incorrectly:-0

[darkzona1]

wow they look like little moving bags of water lol

seriously they're just.. white moving things lol is that liquid inside them?

[enyceckk101]

Raynox DCR-250 lens ?

[jihadjared]

Those bugs are Satanic. I mean just look at them.

[heyawhaw]

so who created them ? mwahahaHAHA!

[RainstormGB]

shame about the blue purple fringes

[TheBattleWagon]

Are you familure with the wood gassification prosses? I bet you could build a Charcoal furnace that made fuel gas by heating an oxigien free canister full of rotting plant matter,the gas vented when ported to a propane carburator will run an engine.

[TheLiddlekiddle]

Great filming and close-ups

[Probewitch]

Cook them; mass to BTU experiment.

[hunt1803]

Dang Now I have a severe case of the creepy-crawlies....

[mV33rs]

how come if you zoom in too far the colours get weird, like you see the spectrum? I have the same with my super macro lens on my canon.

[brt5470]

It's because the glass used on the lens isn't a high quality.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

The glass distorts the light. Teleconverter zoom 2x and 3x do the same thing when pushed to the maximum. Super high The better the glass the less distortion you get at maximum zoom or macro.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

This glass I used was $800 optical glass the, close rainbow shots are about 3x beyond what any macro lens I have seen is possible supporting. Camera built in lens 240mm + digital zoom, this borders on microscopic at optimal. The depth of field was about 1/2 a termite:-)

[cambigfoot88]

when are you going back to your regular stuff?

[anthacdc]

I got the same question

[stelerscyth]

you always make great videos Dan :-)

[tbenefi33]

Termite suck they cost a lot people a lot of money each year.

[Robert697]

aaaardvaaaark!

[Greco956]

What's the big idea on interrupting the peace of those creatures, and even killing a few them, for the benefit of your ego? This was not a scientific enterprise, or defense act, and it bothers me to see how the little ones suffered from the terror that you introduced in their lives.. Eh! I am canceling my subscription to your terror.

[JimmySentence]

those bastards cost alot of people alot of money coming into THERE homes and INVADING THERE PROPERTIES its what those vermin deserve

[centervilletn]

and they make more greenhouse gasses than all the rest of life on earth.....

[TommyBasketball23]

Beautiful!!!!

[GetMeThere1]

Can you explain how you did this lens "conversion?"

[TheDudeRulez09]

wow it seems everyone wants to kill them instead of use them for their green uses.

[eng3ineguys]

These critters cause structural damage and then the building collapses on our heads. Where are they? I'm gonna run them over with my firetruck. lol :)

[corduroy99]

????? AND????

[pinsetter1991]

music.... and video remind me of pikmin lol

[Jkelquedi]

very good video of the termite.

[Archantis]

why not use a fresnel len to kill them all :P?

[TaylorHolmes]

now this looks like a great excuse to pull out your fresnel lens, dan.

[RVqueen]

Faved! They are beautiful in their own right.

[essex2]

Is this a reversed lens mount?

[d3adp001]

I dont get it.

[pubtor]

eeeeeeeeew

[TheCelibatepornstars]

cool

[midbluegreen]

little big planet

[rochelimit55555]

these guys invade my house when they are in their winged form, we basically have to close all opening to prevent them from entering. It's almost like a horror movie.

[1stfreestuff]

spooky

[PhysicsGuerrilla]

Call the Orkin man...:p

[joelito101]

Interesting, grow with Nature, not against Nature. I like it, I say we go for it.

[ezone50]

nice!!!! 5/5 love SUPER macro 5/5!!

[30GB]

KILL THEM i hate termites they ate my wooden table legs i used to run my stuff on outside

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

:-) they can be a pain, the research in using them for fuel also is being used for anti-termite chemical free extermination.
