A Pictorial Ode to Insect Flight ESA

Insect flight is one of the more fascinating aspects of nature. However, the small size of the insects and the rapidity of their wing motion put this out of the reach of humans with their limited visual capacities. The high speed camera has now permitted us to witness this amazing behavior. This video is dedicated to the origin, maintenance, and evolution of insect flight. Producer: Karl Foord, PhD
