Hey, I’m not sure if you work with arachnids at all but I recently found a jumping spider outside and the way their jumps look almost instant made me really curious to see it in slow motion.

I used to be terrified of all bugs before I met my husband, who loves insects and spiders, and knows more about them than your average entymologist! I am still scared of larger bugs, but he has shown me that you shouldn't squash bugs just because they're there. I see the beauty in bugs because of him. So thanks for making up close bug videos, it helps people admire insects instead of being scared.

I have been photographing insects and arachnids since 2010, exclusively natural photos on the living object. I can halfway understand how time-consuming and nerve-wracking it can be to get the film sequences as desired. Thank you for the great shots!

I've been taking pictures of bugs with my phone for the last few years, and when I was trying to get super slow motion shots of bugs is very hard. I have some 960fps grasshoppers jumping, and ladybugs with their wings unfurling, and dragonflies mid-flight. My stills collection is ever growing though, and capturing a good picture is like filling out an entry to my pokedex because reverse image searches make it a lot easier to find out facts about the things I managed to photograph. I wish I could afford a setup like this one so I could do some more science, but I also enjoy the challenge of trying to do so much with so little.

@@neobiagini8623 I currently use a Sony Xperia 1 II. It's a phone primarily designed around its camera. It's a few years old, and they're more recent ones have further expounded on this philosophy. Ideally, I would like to save some money and see what next year's pro version has to offer. I also keep my Xperia XZ2 Premium around for when I can catch something I want to later film in slow motion as it can do 960 FPS for extremely brief time frames. They are good, but they are expensive. I also know that the oppo find 3 has a 10x macro camera that has me intrigued too.

Your footage is amazing and so revealing. We get to see something in a way that we could never see it before. And with you doing your filming against a black background, it does really help those hidden colors to pop out. Which makes your footage of the insects all the more beautiful.

Fascinating footage and technically impressive. We have an interesting planthopper here in the UK (Issus coleoptratus), which I often photograph in the back garden, with a nymph stage whose rearmost leg pair are uniquely, mechanically geared to enable a very rapid jump. I bet these would make a great subject for a slowmo take-off.

Found one of those large black/yellow and white spiders had created a huge web sprawled across my brick outdoor grill. Grabbed a long coarse blade of grass and came up right underneath it and began to tickle it without damaging the web, stroking it gently sideways - not thru' the web itself; it immediately started jumping up/down but otherwise no movement. Its feet never left contact w/its web. The more I tickled it, the faster it went up and down and the web behaved like a gyrating trampoline; it was a hoot! Great fun! Several minutes of this was enjoyed by us both.
