This is at 1/5 normal speed. Filmed on an android phone in slow mo mode and digitally zoomed in during the edit.
Does anyone know what that actual frame rate that the android phone records at? The video editing software reports it as 29.2572 fps - but this can't be right.
Google tells me dragon flys wing beats 30 flaps per second.
I count around 1 flap per sec at 1/5 speed. So my estimate from this is 5 flaps per second.
