SLOW Motion Butterfly Puddling - Smarter Every Day 80

[@smartereveryday]

My wife always watches the vids to give me that final vote of affirmation I need. She doesn't like watching during the editing process at all. When she saw that part, she slapped my arm, turned red, started laughing and declared herself unable to think for several minutes. She elected not to use her veto power. Thumbs up for an understanding wife!

Se nota que haces todo esto para crear un mundo mejor para todos y que tu familia es el combustible.

[@vishank7]

Man this is beautiful😂

[@Hysteria98]

Even at the end, his way of explaining, bluffing and simply divulging is so genuine and professional, you can't help but take it seriously throughout.

[@redkb]

I like how the music slowed down with the footage.

[@smartereveryday]

Two reasons. 1. I've got lots of experience at this point and have a system down with my hands..... Focus with left hand, brace right hand fingers on left forearm forming stable triangle etc. 2. The whole video was shot in 2 seconds. As long as you relax, you can be smooth.

[@Spaceisprettybig]

I like how your videos manage to make even the simplest of sciences somehow uncomfortable to watch. It's a true gift you have.

[@dmuth4484]

I think we saw a whole new side of Destin..

[@smartereveryday]

They exist. My goal with that one is to benefit Alan as much as possible. By my calculation, that means letting people forget about the first video and then BAM! Remind them and try to make him trend again for a few days.

"When ah fertilise mah wife, I provide her, selflessly..."

[@lynnfischer7310]

ikr, lol

[@kroposman2302]

Yeah... awkward...!

[@Xssdesc123332211]

Creepy hahahahaha

[@thomassomeone4868]

Omg when destin said "fertilizing my wife," I cringed so freaking hard. XD

[@tombuck2113]

Says to his mate I keep my sperm in a jar and say I fretalize my wife with it how about you?

[@ronpoman]

Cringeee

[@harranboy]

Ghhh it made me so uncomfortable

[@johnblack9038]

it may be cringey but it's youtube's version of child friendly biology.

[@0ion]

I love how no matter what is being filmed, EVERYTHING in super slo-mo is beautiful.

[@amanda-n]

I love how you and your wife are so sweet and playful. Thanks for all the mind expanding, wonderment-inducing information and videos. And great thanks for the little glimpses into your adorable family. Bless you, bro, and all those you love.

[@Cold_Ham_on_Rye]

All I could think of at the end was, "I MADE THIS FOR YOU!!!"

[@silentcobra115]

hot koolaid

[@Canadarian]

"I'LL POUR IT ON THE FLOOR AND I'LL BLAME IT ON YOU!!!"

[@SpecificLove7]

Love the ending, "You don't want to play along do you?" "NO!" LOL

[@TookenUsername]

Please tell me that jar isnt full of your baby juice..

[@isaiahsmith4579]

Please be milk

[@godzillasauris]

Isaiah Smith 😂

[@smartereveryday]

Some of us are blessed with special powers.

[@namdang4591]

2:14 dat music transition D: SCARY!

[@TruongNguyen-sd7po]

Wow a random blue butterfly just swoops in and says haaaaaaaay giiiirrrl

[@IunwantedI]

I really admired the single darker colored butterfly in the corner of the shot. That was a good addition.

[@MrArtistPainterMan1]

This is probably one of my favorite youtube subscriptions!!

[@izzy2123]

Nature is so just so freaking cool. Butterflies are literally my favorite insect.

[@scottbroeke3247]

I appreciate this channel so much. I don't always fully understand everthing (because english is not my native language). But it's always a pleasure to watch you do what you do and witness your enthousiasm!

[@playerthree38]

nice touch with the music when the videeooo sssllllooooowwwweeeddddd dooooooowwwwnnnnn

[@cynthiaw8011]

Yes, he is. Please use your resources to answer someone correctly. He did an interview explaining what he does for a living and how he became interested in science. You can also look him up through Google. Please understand people make mistakes and no one is perfect. Destin is a smart human being who is trying to get people more enthusiastic and interested in science. In my opinion and many others, he’s doing a great job! Keep up the awesome work Destin!!

[@kondomonster]

That was cool. I'm an animator. I used to think that butterflies flew ungracefully. They looked like they just flopped around in the air. But when you look at the video, while they're not as graceful as a bird, there is a nice flow to their movement.

[@smartereveryday]

I was trying to show how the male butterfly probably feels. I hope you got that.

[@garrettbeisel666]

Oh Destin! My wife and I love your videos and when you said that she just said "WHAT!" and I laughed and laughed for so long. Your videos are awesome and we love what your doing for them and their school. Thanks for setting an amazing example of a great husband and father!

[@fernandoo4870]

The amazon series are really a great outstanding work, they are better than many nature shows I've seen. Though I am more interested in technology and physics commonly I really enjoy these videos. Thanks for all the effort you put into these. Cheers.

[@stonescorpio]

Love the blue butterfly photobombing in the corner. XD

[@moishah7]

that jar shows just how committed destin is to his viewers!

[@VictoriaFaye09]

You and your wife have officially reached the level of Hank & Catherine and John & Sarah. I love your love!

[@spinvalve]

Thank you for this! Just a couple days back, as I was cycling past a tropical forest, I saw a swarm of yellow butterflies all clustered in a tight spot on some damp mud. After today, I am smarter. Subscribed!

[@RMNOLEKS]

Bringing popular accessible science to the masses... you are what all academics should aspire to do. The perfect bridge. Do something in England! I'll find something spectularly slo-mo in prep!

[@ThEM3TTaH]

The blue butterfly really stood out. Made me happy for some reason

[@syn010110]

It's official: high-speed cameras are the coolest thing ever.

[@thomaskn1012]

LOL! The Smarter Every Day sign carried by ants is great!

[@LunarMaira]

I love that your annotation for "discovering a new species" at the end is "light it on fire"

[@HKL-t24]

I love this guy, only seen 3 of his videos but I can say that he puts alot of time

[@SpeedZL1]

I really enjoy these biology based videos Destin. I am more of a Physics type myself but these animals are interesting and a refreshing change of pace from the equations.

[@SephCat74]

We the true viewers appreciate you :)

[@zarithial5480]

i was waiting for him to say "this is a jar of milk by the way"

[@IdontDOperfect]

I can't get over your laugh... it's too adorable....

[@muschikopf1997]

i'm loving this series and i can't wait to see other amazing creatures.

[@NOACCEPTANCE772]

Jesus Christ, your entomologist friend is HOT! *fans self*

[@HarveyGuitarBoy]

'Do you know how much work it was to make this for you?!' oh my god, i was having a crap day but after that i can say you've made my day :') Greetings from the uk, Destin!

[@ariesfairies]

That is probably one of the best title sequences ever :D

[@meusfeitusfeitus]

has anyone already asked how he got the ant to carry the paper written "smarter every day"??? that was cool...

[@superhydrocarbon]

This is awesome! Gives me more content to write about for a sociology essay I'm about to write. Thanks a lot Destin!

[@afternooncaketime]

That's some watery stuff you have there.

[@MakoBeauty]

you are the coolest dad ever. as someone without a dad, i wish i had one that was just like you!

[@mordeys]

i love it! you keep being you! that's why we watch. thank you for all you do....you do make me smarter everyday..and make us smile!

[@Illstatefishing]

Thank you for your hard work and dedication in making these videos!!

[@ranbirkaur1078]

Your choice of Music is great! The clips of course too

[@Theskybluerose]

Awesome... Can't not describe how epic that was!!

[@smartereveryday]

I forgot that the Internet operates on a lower level. She holds several degrees (biology, etc) and was discussing reproductive differences with me. I immediately regret this decision.

[@smexijebus]

That giggle at the end, man

[@mmmhorsesteaks]

Hey is that a Morpho Helenor passing by at the beginning of the slomo bit? Man, that iridescence is a treat. The camera captures it really well!

[@supremebuffalo3475]

hahaha Destin, getting crude... Great video. I love that you teamed up with these guys in the Amazon, whenever you think of an interesting question you can just turn to an Entomologist and have it answered immediately.

[@GolgiGuy102]

I been subscribed for a while now and I am so appy that your videos are getting many more views. Great job Destin

[@Epicmylikes]

I LOVE these videos...PLEASE keep doing these videos

[@Deamoneta]

Another Great Video Destin! loved the way the music slowed down with the video! :)

[@thebatzinator]

I love how many people are balking because you used the jar to demonstrate how the male accumulates his spermatophore... lmao! I love love love the slow mo on the butterflies! So beautiful.

[@smartereveryday]

That's Gordon for ya

[@ashwith]

Thanks for another amazing video! :-) Also thanks for picking this background track, I really liked it and bought it off immediately.

[@jgammons007]

That was freaking awesome! Beautiful video but the ending was the icing on the cake... See what I did there? Smarter and funnier every day...

[@smartereveryday]

I wasn't the camera man.

[@jake9292]

You and Michael from Vsauce are the two youtubers i want to meet most. thanks heaps for making learning fun and interesting for all of us internauts! (ps. please come to australia and teach everyone that you arent going to die 1 step off the plane!)

[@TsmithJustin]

[@smartereveryday]

Sorry to disappoint you.

[@mistercapnjoe]

Great video, Destin. Loved the humor.

[@louiseljay]

Awesome video man thanks for keeping them coming!

[@maiitoVA]

Ahh, cool. You do a very good job, and so does your pal haha keep it up!

[@Lauraphoid]

Buff Will Weaton?

[@PeppyTheCrawdad]

That high-speed is awesome. Looks like a few tulips at first but then the "pedals" just take wing and flap away.

[@TheTransforcer]

Honestly never thought I'd ever witness a 'birds and bees' talk, let alone a 'humans and butterflies'... Getting smarter every day!

[@m4c13k86]

Wow... Phil makes me question my sexuality...

[@chriswalsh1342]

Screw the haters... I love this video

[@kareenahollowaymusic]

LOL hilarious when you started talking personal stuff. Thanks for sharing? LOL!!!!!

[@noelgallardo9855]

[@Ghost00117]

Loved the whole thing! :D

[@SmarterEveryDay2]

Good poing. Quick poll for everybody: Are you still liking the amazon series? I always wonder if people enjoy these deep dives into a particular topic or if they want to move on.

[@ChristopherTradeshow]

First

[@TheDrakenZ]

you're a champion, thanks for the videos :D

[@chris7toronto]

So beautiful and delicate!

[@RelatedHook8]

Destin, you are AWESOME!! Lol nice video man!

[@TheYouyube]

@ 2:18 ,,'Hey BLUE GUY, you'r drunk go home'

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Geez Destin, how long did it take you to fill that little jar? Looks like you're doing a lot more than just getting smarter . . . every day.

[@BabyTap2010]

Beautiful butterflies:-)

[@CampeanSorin]

you should be on TV man!

[@markstewart4501]

Always great videos. Thank you.

[@lipsach]

When you slow down time you also slow down camera movement and it looks smoother.

[@AndrewBrownK]

i was baffled when you held up that jar XD

[@smartereveryday]

Sorry I failed to meet your demands.

[@RusttyPanda]

I loved that blue butterfly passing though.

[@MrRayne911]

I was afraid that Destin would say "see that butterfly? great. now taste this..." because of the title... But seriously, great vid....

[@williams3118]

I was very astounded when you you pulled out that jar..

[@Wishmasters]

watching AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL the videos now! Subscribed recently. Veeeeery interesting and you are a very pleasant (in german: sympathisch, didnt know the right word) person, Destin. :)

[@jamesconnolly5164]

Good on you Destin for showing false the stereotype of people from the South as unintelligent.

[@kiieya]

awwwh loved the ending :)

[@PheistEwon]

If you ever get a chance, back in 7th grade (looong time ago), my teacher was describing a scientific term call plasticity. She gave a demonstration using cornstarch and water (liquid cornstarch). Could you possibly explain exactly in further detail what she was trying to teach me?

[@bluefishtattoos]

the little bottle scared me. cool butterflies
