Looking at My Blue Morpho Under a Microscope

[@marielbauman3074]

the sound effects are 10/10. so relaxing

[@coltonensley7523]

His voice too man

[@rahmatkurniawan9286]

same sound with pocket universe game

[@caro.s.]

You know what I truly love about your videos? As someone who's first language is NOT English, I still understand you perfectly fine. And that makes it so much easier to understand what you are teaching me and to translate something, I didn't get. I really appreciate this.

We were in an electro microscope laboratory with kids the other day an saw that blue one in even more detail. That’s some trippy stuff. They seem blue because those shingles are build of even smaller things which bends light or only reflect the blue part or something. (Apparently it’s different from blue pigments.)

[@RileyBuilding]

I think the phenomenon is called structural color - when reflecting white light, it amplifies the blue and cancels out all the other colors

[@HydetheRapper]

Structural blue! Lexus actually made a car with paint engineered to work the same way as a morpho. Pretty crazy.

[@TamatoaAteHisGrandma]

Actually I think there is only one living thing with real blue pigments and it's an olivewing butterfly.

[@mickyminnickys]

I’d love to see the obrina olivewing butterfly under a microscope. It’s the only animal in the world to have naturally-occurring blue patterns. The reason the scales on the blue parts of the wing looks translucent up close, is because they’re not really blue. It’s a trick of the light that makes translucent scales turn blue, which is why the pigment changes when you get up close. Even blue birds use this trick, and if you look at a blue bird’s feather under a microscope you’ll get the same effect. But the obrina olivewing is different, since it actually has REAL blue dots on their wings.

These types of videos are so amazing, I'd love to see more!

[@nataleebarancik6561]

relaxing music in background + microscope shots of butterflies = best experience ever

[@Laura-Be717]

You should definitely do some longer form vids like this. You would get a huge amount of re-watches and it's just so interesting seeing these

[@LadySamurai88]

I Love the relaxing background music you added. It makes it even more magical

[@bbyjscx]

Beautiful, love the vibe you created in this video, the music, your voice and beautiful 🦋 🦋 awesome man. That emoji is exactly like the second butterfly 🤣 xx

[@musiclives4everXD]

Could you make more of these videos and put it in a playlist? It’s really calming!

[@Kiefini]

From what I heard there are some butterflies (and/or other insects) that aren't really blue, but they look like it. What I mean is that the don't have blue pigments, but they have microstructures that fu*ks with light in a way that it comes back blue. Changing color animals should be using the same principles (like the octopus camouflaging as a rock wiht an swift change of color). Take everything I said with a fist of salt. My memory could be betraying me. PS: "fu*king with light may not be scientific language" EDIT: here is a good video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZiVZWmZa6epa5o&ab_channel=BeSmart TL:DR They have structures that absorb/filter everything but blue light, which is reflected and it's the colour you then see.

[@I_am_a_cat_]

This was great. Everything you make is great. I've basically watched all of your videos in one day. Thank you so much for these

[@TheCreatureCollector]

Rainbow sunset moth is one of my fave moths. Ive a wing necklace from one (humanely res) an Blue morpho is one of my faves. Lots of ppl dont know that monarchs like to eat dead flesh and poop

[@BeautifulOtaku]

I just found this channel and I’m in love! I have always loved animals since I was a kid and I love learning new things so you channel is the best of both worlds.

[@JoshuaChaney]

You’re voice is super relaxing. Great video btw

[@HosenMatzDeluXe]

The change in colour in the blue specimen is because of the way the colour is “made”, it’s not a pigment, it’s the structure of the scales that reflects blue light from most angles. It’s nanotechnology made by nature. Fun fact, blue is the rarest colour in nature, and blue pigment is even more rare.

[@diego_fe]

So cool 3/4 are here in Costa Rica, unless the sunset moth is here too but ive Just never seen it. Morpho buttetflies are my fave they are huge

[@TheScientificBackpac]

You said it as I was thinking it but the second Morpho definitely looked like sequins!

[@k-isfor-kristina]

It's structural blue. It's the same reason why the sky is blue, the structures in the scales scatter blue light so they look blue but there's no blue pigment

[@macrayurish3552]

This channel slaps

[@leem76]

The sound is 10/10🎶🎵🦻

[@kairo8155]

There is a video from both Veritasium & Be Smart about this exacly "blue shiny butterfly". They are actually not blue, it's just the color they reflect the light. They are brown in a non-light environment.

[@ItMeLily]

I think i have just seen where the idea for sequins comes from.

[@kkivvix9406]

blue is actually not often found naturally. blue is actually a tiny layer of air that reflects blue wavelengths! its the same for blue feathers (they all have a grey, brown, other black base with the air layer on top reflecting blue). any iridescence in nature (hummingbird feathers, lepidoptera scales). I'm not sure if this mechanism is the same for actual body segments like the shiny abdomen of a sweat bee though.

[@sugarmeowmmy]

The morpho doesn't have any blue pigments at all. In fact, their scales are brown more or less. We see the brilliant blue because of how the light refracts off of the brown scales. As my Grandfather used to wonder and say, "Nature's mischiefs .. !".

[@sarahstarr]

This was so exciting!

[@agustinadominguezramos7412]

Amazing !

[@imam5623]

what a beautiful creatures

[@rmpelite5014]

more microscopage please

[@williamwonker6558]

colorless things sometimes look blue. like blue eyes are just clear.

[@butterfliez_in_the_winter]

You know blushing phantom butterflies? Would they be hairy looking and scaly at the same time due to their clear and pink wings or something else? I have the butterfly just not a microscope- :,)

[@Thecraftycat789]

I was told butterflies are not scaled! You learn someyjing new every day

[@Ldacon]

Keep 'em coming

[@ogieagravante7661]

Charlie, you actually look like unspeakable.

[@kaylynnroberts4805]

“Something like that” Count - 7

[@LXXXVIII8]

It’s oddly ASMR for me lol

[@Vault87supermutant]

yo bro you can't just leave us hanging like that

[@Catmomma]

Omg my game call flutter and starlight they are based on real moths and butterflies that you find in nature!!

[@itsNinaLeeyo]

My favorites in animal crossing😂😂

[@syllviaellyzabiethvelasque5672]

I love butterflies

[@TheCheekyfrog]

glas wing scales are called mickraphomaxer

[@Neeko_-]

What is his job ?

[@_.eddieishere._]

the video made me fall asleep some reason..

[@Eternally_Moon]

It’s called ASMR!

[@ArmageddonHex]

I can’t believe this doesn’t have more views… why am I just now seeing this? I came here from tiktok 😭

[@michaelstephens5147]

Bro your sub count is flying

[@XX-jk7hx]

Fun Fact about the Collor Blue in Nature: It does not exist! :D The color blue can only appear if the matter that absorbs the ambient light reflects in a certain spectrum. Like, you can't have blue furred animal's or blue shell's becouse they can't refleckt that light in that way.

[@originaluseername]

“this one is insane” wow i love when youtubers use oudated stigmatizing terms for mental illnesses to describe how cool some random thing looks 😮😊
