Ant Lab's video: What Butterfly Flight Looks like in Slow Motion

I filmed slow motion flight and time-lapse eclosion sequences of tropical butterflies, and give a behind-the-scenes tour of our museum's walk-in tropical rainforest exhibit. Check out https://naturalsciences.org/ for info about when to visit our museum and the butterflies. [Right now (Dec, 2021) the exhibit is closed due to pandemic-related safety measures. But we're all hoping we can lift restrictions and get it open to all again soon!] Content 00:00 - owl butterfly 01:09 - behind the scenes 02:22 - timelapse eclosion 03:29 - longwings 04:13 - blue morpho 05:14 - malachite 05:38 - cattleheart 06:21 - blue morpho Butterfly species (in order of appearance) “Owl butterfly” - Caligo eurilochus “Blue-frosted Banner” Male - Catonephele numilia “Heliconious Longwing” - Heliconius hecale “Monarch” - Danaus plexippus “Heliconious Longwing” (on left) - Heliconius melpomene “Heliconious Longwing” (on right) - Heliconius hecale “Blue Morpho” - Morpho peleides “Malachite” - Siproeta stelenes “Cattleheart” - Parides arcas Music licensed from soundofpicture.com Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dradriansmith/ Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrAdrianSmith
