3200 FPS, here I thought that was feet per second. That really would have been impressive. How would you like the new Murder Hornet coming at you at 3200 fps.

Wow that was fantastic, as Spock would say…FASCINATING. He set up a great trap, that photographer.
Now, I want to be an aphid…start all engines and lift OFF, float away. Then land again…
Glad that stinger at the end was a stinger for a different purpose! :>O
BUT what is the average lifespan of these little very little…CRITTERS. Days? They mate and die for the most part!
Lastly, those Mayflies?? Well, one night on our recent trip, on the way back we stayed in Oocama, South Dakota ON THE MISSOURI River. Came out the next morning and there were well over a hundred of them JUST on my car alone!
@BFH – get that camera out when on the golf course when you drive one into the rough/ditch(haha)…you would be a hit on Sunday morning…down with the Critters gang…

Cool stuff. I sit on the Porch after work…and watch the Dragonflies tear into
the swarms of Gnats…Then the Swallows (the Birds, not 0webama) Swoop in and
eat the Dragonflies….I root for the Dragonflies.

When I was a kid, My older brother convinced me that Dragonflies had a sewing needle in their tails, and if given a chance they would use it to sew your eyelids shut. I believed it – such is the nature of gullible little kids who believe anything someone in authority tells them. Like liberals today.

That’s how fast that 556 round was going when it took stumpies arm off.

A really cool thing I saw a few years ago in San Simeon, CA, was a huge swarm of Monarch Butterflies in a forest of pine trees. I heard a strange sound which I can’t describe and looked up – to thousands of them perched on the trees – a magnificent sight.

That was fascinating. How did that big one (the muppet!) even make it into the air? God’s creatures are so beautiful.

Ahhhhh! A bug!

@TimBuktu – well how about growing up thinking a simple dragonfly was also called, for us, a DIAMOND Needle.
How’s that for your average monster Mothra movie, as a seven year old??

I’m going out on a limb here, but I think that guy desperately needs to get laid.

And thank you Dr. Harold “Doc” Edgerton for discovering, in 1936, that a humming birds’ wings beating at 60 times a second could be photographed using an exposure of one hundred thousandth of a second.
None of the insects photographed were created by a blind watch maker. As Richard Dawkins would have us believe.

He looks like Harold, Red Green’s nephew on the Red Green show. The guy is a total nerd but a nerd in a positive way. His name should also be Poindexter.
