Please COMMENT, RATE, SUBSCRIBE and most important ENJOY. We are testing some new software to upres the video to give you a clear full screen image. Yes some of you would like us to stop posting new clips if they are close to others. Look at the way these wings open and unfold. who knew. we let the clips run for now latter we will start to edit shorter form clips for those that want it short and sweet.

  • cool but quality is getting worse

  • to get the very high frame rates of these clips to show the detail we could only shoot at lower resolution. When the image is on the edge of exposure or a little under then blown up it gets worse. I am using new software that helps. I need to spend about $250,000 to fix it. If I could make enough here I would do it but for now that is as good as it it gets.I will try a few other things to help.We are devoloping a new site that will have improved content also.Thanks for the comments,Enjoy Alan

  • @ultraslo Yes - you can imagine what amount of light is actually being received by the camera, per frame, to realise why the detail is less than potentially possible. Its a trade off between exposure and detail I'm afraid.

  • @MrBoggerly When we shot this we used tungsten lights. If the bug did not move fast it would be cooked. Since then we have developed our own 1000 watt led lights that are cool so we can shoot macro insects and not cook them. The next big thing will be higher res cameras.

    Enjoy

  • Awesome! It's like a spaceship or some complex machine taking off! :)

  • thanks Please don't forget to rate it.

    Enjoy

  • would of enjoyed this but only 360 p D:

  • FLIGHT MODE, ACTIVATE!

  • I've always wanted to really SEE them moving.

    Great video, wish it had music.

  • @Twinman2 Well, it IS a complex machine and it IS taking off =) Not particulary a spaceship though...

  • Wow, look at that angle! It's a VTOL ladybug!

  • eeew.

    but COOL.

  • Wow! This is amazing! I never knew ladybugs used their wings like that! I never even knew that had wings like that =DD

  • i just noticed that it is almost like a shell that conceals its wings and its entire body. Wow. Slow Mo gives me a chance to learn new things and see things that are basically impossible to see in real time.
