i'm always surprised by how beautiful moths are. they're like little fantasy creatures with their round shapes and button eyes, covered in fur as colorful and bright as bird feathers with huge flexible wings like soft blankets & graceful looking antennae... underrated beasts imo

i agree, i hate how most ppl think moths are just the ugly things that fly around your lamps and eat your clothes but they are gorgeous

I've started calling them "real dragons" because they're the closest we'll probably get (besides pterosaurs) they are the only living animal with 2+ limbs AND wings

i understand you’re trying to capture flight specifically, but if you’ve got any footage of the moths (or any bug really that wouldn’t fly just walking, i’d love to see it! it’s hard to observe how their feet move with how fast they walk, and it’s something i’m very curious about

Agreed 100% Would love to see some derpy moth walking

Ant Lab slow mos are an instant watch, every time. I love how the beetles stick their legs way out. I imagine a little "weeeeeeeee".

Dude your videos are so comforting. Everytime i get depressed i always watch these to remind myself how beautiful life is

2:16 love how it's waving hi to us. Very polite moth, 100/10.

2:12 I love how thie Polyphemus moth looks like a griffin from this angle. The moths are so cute and all the insects are beautiful in their own way. Thanks for this informative and wonderful video!

Its amazing how these insects fly. And I can't imagine how much work you put into a single shot let alone making this amazing collection of beautiful shots.

I was one of those people who liked Butterflies, but not moths. Only in recent time I've realized how magically beautiful Moths are.

never thought videos about insects would be so calming but it is nonetheless and i love appreciating them 😂

I'm in love with your channel! Seeing all this amazing bugs in such details and glory is a straight up gift Thank you very much for your work!!!!!!!❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Thank you for not only providing amazing footage but informative commentary as well. Those moths were really beautiful, and pretty cute too!

Dude the artistry of these slow motion videos is just beautiful. Super nerdy and I appreciate that.

I love how some moths seem to know they are being filmed, and they start waving with their little feets at the camera before taking off. Almost like they're saying Farewell.

I love these videos, something about the music and slow motion movement of the animals is so calming. it's like brain therapy

I really enjoy your videos. The music, the amazing insects in slow motion and your explanation are really hypnotizing. This is awesome

The flight mechanics, smooth or otherwise, are simply stunning. Thank You for bringing these revelations to our thirsty eyes. I cannot get enough of your works.......as a scientist, too (Physicist), it is impossible to turn away at such beauty.

So glad we got more moth footage from you! As someone who raises moths its always so cool to see your camera show what look like a blur to me.

4:53 it's front claws look like hands, it's like it's rubbing it's hands together like it's getting ready, very polite 100/10

These videos have been a delight to watch! I can’t stop thinking that insects get a huge thrill from take-off. Their body language says it all: woohoo!!

Great vid! The filming, narration and music. Insects have the cutest little faces :)

I didn't even imagine moths could be this beautiful....😍😍😍😍😍

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Thank you :o)

Ok. I’m not a big bug fan but i love that you are! What i love is the slow mo moth videos. They are beautiful. The non moth videos-not so mich. But thanks for the great work! More pretty bugs please!!

You don't upload often but when you do it's amazing 🙃

I do not know how they came to exist but the phenomenal complexity of even the smallest detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love your videos, you are doing amazing work and you are appreciated. Could you consider filming a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris thysbe) taking off/drinking nectar in midair? The drinking nectar in midair might be too much of a challenge but I really think you amd everyone else would enjoy seeing Hemaris thysbe up close and in slo-mo 💜

I've been subscribed to your channel for some time. Love your content. I just can't get enough of bugs, beetles, etc. I've had a Calosoma scrutator beetle fly out my window once.A very strong flyer. I've kept them as pets back between 2010 2013 Hardy pets if done right.Salute!

Excellent. I wish all humans would fully grasp that every living thing is as complex as we are. And due our respect and care.

That new bkg color and gradient is amazing btw!

2:34 stunning flight!

The way the long necked ground beetle just deploys its wings like one would a folding knife is really satisfying

Oh my goodness this moths are gorgeous absolutely gorgeous I love them thanks for sharing🥰💕

this is beautiful

Seriously gorgeous footage! Just gorgeous!! 💜

man l love moths they're so beautiful, l also love showing my 4yr sister these videos her favorite is the Chinese Luna moth

Your videos are amazing! In reality, I¨m really scared of insects... but in slow-mo, they are fascinating, they look such a perfect design, and nature is amazing.

Ohhh I love luna moths, I hope you realize that dream someday! In the meantime that closeup was gorgeous though

2:25 He is so FLUFFY and CUTE 🥺

Your videos are one of the coolest things I've ever seen, moths are really something else! Definitely some of the most underrated insects, awesome work!

I love the idea of a bunch of awkwardly flying beetles looking to hug the first thing they bump into

1:30 I like how this dude makes two half wing beats to clear the ground before making a full one with the wings all the way down.

i needed this in my life, thank you

This week I found a dead butterfly and brought home. Yesterday I observed the wings on the microscope. I was enchanted with it. Today this video just increased much more my enchantmend and knowledge about insects. Thanks!

Omg this is so beautiful your showed me how beautiful a moth can be I mean like they are so cute and detailed and even more!

Gods beautiful creatures, you being one of them, are amazing! How lucky we all are to have someone like you doing this for us. Thank you so much. I agree with many of the commentators in that I too find myself a little more at peace after watching and listening to your videos. Kevin

Incredible! Thanks for posting this little beauties.

I love what you do, Hopefully watching these amazing animals makes us respect nature more.

Thank you for all of these amazing videos. Getting my family to be less terrified and murderous to bugs!

I love these types of videos. I have panic attacks and watching slower moving things help calm me down. Moths are my favorite creatures of Mother Earth’s . Thank you for making these

Your videos make me smile so much! Thank you, I needed that 😄 Keep on making them, they are highlights of my day sometimes!

As a very amateur moth photographer i loved this video so much

Love this video! Moths are so cute!

Strikes me, this time of year, how Halloween themed are the colors of the virgin tiger moth colors (at the beginning of the vid). Well, it may be intended to scare off predators, but I find it strikingly beautiful. Of course, that doesn't mean I want to eat it.

Would love to see someone come up with a tiger moth costume, if only to deck themselves out in those colors.

Please keep on with these videos. They are a joy.

moths become so cute when they're up close!

Dr. no tengo palabras para agradecer el maravilloso trabajo que usted realiza y la generosidad de compartir con todos nosotros.

I love moths and was so happy to see another one of these videos! They're cute ☺

Thank you for taking the time to document a part of creation that most humans have never experienced. I feel blessed to have seen your work. Great job!

Fantastic videos of beautiful and impressive insects!

This is a consistently great channel. Love all your videos

as always- marvelously wonderful to watch

Always such fantastic footage! Your videos are always perfect to sit down and watch while I eat because they're so relaxing and cool! Love learning neat details about how insects move!

As always, thank you for sharing these beautiful creatures in slow motion flight. I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to capture them in flight !

Absolutely! Thank you so much!

I mean moths, yeah-gorgeous, but beatles? Never thought them to be so fascinating and beautiful. Next time one flies in my face, I won't swat it screaming obscenities-I will thank them gently for a kiss.

4:55 Actually it makes sense that if would readily fly out of water since it would be trying to get back into water.

I love how insects just go T pose during take off

Your job is simply delightful. Thank you.

It is fitting that the colourful moths in the beginning are called tiger moths. In Germany we call them "bears".

Awesome work as always

I went to a sunflower farm recently and saw a praying mantis fly past me and land on a flower! She was gorgeous and reminded me of one of your videos

Thank you again for another masterpiece of a video, Ant Lab! You help bring a whole other world to us, like a peak into a different dimension. Beautiful little creatures! 🥰❤️

This is awesome! So much to learn,so beautiful,wings amazing!

More fantastic work. Thank you for allowing us all to witness something we can never really see or understand with our eyes alone.

I simply love your vidéos . Amazing work ...😃👏

Such a cool and very fascinating video!

Thank you for the amazing videos! Love to watch these! ❤️💛💚

Thank u again for the gorgeous footage ❤

I love that in slow motion they almost resemble something out of Godzilla; if a moth were to be scaled up to that size this is probably what it would look like

These videos are insane! Thanks for making them for us to see.

You have to do more of this... Just amazing. Thanks!

5:29 From the way it falls, it seems that it is going to dive into the water, very appropriate xD 😄

What amazing creations they are.

Absolutly phantastic, thank you.

Fantastic videography and video! Thank you for sharing ! Love it !!

beautiful footage ... thank you for this Ant Lab ...

I love moths, I love them so much.

Love the beetle take off

Exquisite! Thanks so much. I would love to see a dissection of the thorax revealing the intrinsic flight muscles to explain how they flap their wings.

Absolutely stunning! I really loved the little water droplet. It would be cool if somehow more falling droplets could make it into the set design for context (plus they’re just beautiful). I love how you point out things I wouldn’t have been aware of about the insects physiology and behavior. Thank you!
