JCMegabyte's video: Tornado Bugs - Insect Art - Slow Motion Trails V25400

Most any summer you can find swarms of tiny little flies circulating over the lawn or other damp grassy area. These swarms can be somewhat sparse or form large dense clouds, but are almost always shaped like a tornado of sorts, hence the nick-name "Tornado Bugs". These little insects are actually known as "Fungus Gnats", and usually live in areas with damp soil where their larvae hatch and develop in as little as 10 days. These swarms are typically made up of one female and a ton of males hoping to mate with her. Like a school of fish, swarms may also confuse predators, helping to protect the entire mass. These scenes were filmed with a Sony a7iii and Cannon 100-400mm lens at realtime and 120fps. The resulting video was processed into still image sequences and then composited to yield artistic results where we can actually trace the flight paths of individual insects.
