I'm assuming the pulsating background is due to the flicker of 50/60Hz powered lamps, putting this at about 120x slower than real-time. Very sweet. I didn't know their wings are so big!

Wow! I love how hidden aspects of life are shown by slowmo footage.

Its shot at 7000 FPS, assuming it's displayed at 24 FPS that makes it 7000/24 = 292 times slower than real life

That is amazing..

I've always wondered where the hell their wings come from. One minute they're sitting there looking like a beetle and the next they're flying around on wings that are bigger than they are. I guess they fold 'em up.

^no doubt. I've always wondered about their wings also. Pretty amazing that they unfurl like they do. great sift.

The first opening reminds me of the drop ships from Aliens for some reason...


...dust off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

Damnit. I really thought it said "Ladybug FIGHT in UlrtaSlo motion."

Second the FIGHT... I waited for the bugs to start scrappin!!!
