Always music with a time lapse please! Actual audio with real-time is fine. Loving the bugs. I grew up in Thanet U.K. in the 50s and 60s. Ramsgate was the main port for beetles to arrive and be stored for distribution by rail from the storage facility at the town of Sandwich (now Copart). Literally thousands and thousands of them all lined up in perfect order, every colour under the sun!

Music / video ( I have to admit - there is relatively limited value to "opinion" ) There can be music suited for every occasion. But it must probably be composed for this occasion, to be true. I prefer the real sounds of "the moment". (Sometimes this have to be muted/subdued for practical conveying of a main message) Music should mostly not distract, from the main topic at hand. It will mention two You tubers (both in mechanical fields), which I favor for their style of presentation. My Mechanics - Switzerland & This Old Tony USA 😁 Thanks, this video was interesting and informative. 👋🏻
