This macro insect flight compilation from Dr. Adrian Smith captures the wing mechanics of 23 different species in slow motion. From green June #beetles keeping their protective covers linked during flight to stoneflies using all four wings independently, the footage explains how each insect developed different aerial strategies.
Recorded at up to 6,000 frames per second, the #video makes visible detailed wing folding patterns and different beat frequencies across seven different #insect orders.
