Sometimes, what you see is not what is really happening.
At normal speed our eyes cannot see the detail of what is happening.
The high speed camera slows things down so that we can see the detail.
Various sequences of ladybirds, which prepare to take off for flying away. The sequences were recorded by cameraman Rainer Bergomaz from Blue Paw Artists with a pco.dimax HD at 3000 frames/s and 1296 x 720 pixel resolution. Within the sequences the before and after parts are displayed at 250 frames/s and when the ladybug starts to unfold its wings the display speed is reduced to 25 frames/s. And a sequence with a water drop falling onto a flower is included.
