Ant Lab | Butterfly Flight in Slow Motion! @AntLab | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 minutes ago.
I filmed slow motion flight and time-lapse eclosion sequences of tropical butterflies, and give a behind-the-scenes tour of our museum's walk-in tropical rainforest exhibit.
Check out naturalsciences.org for info about when to visit our museum and the butterflies. [Right now (Dec, 2021) the exhibit is closed due to pandemic-related safety measures. But we're all hoping we can lift restrictions and get it open to all again soon!]
