Re: Moths in slow motion [video]
#32This made me feel so much better about moths. With the video so close up they looked super cute and snuggly. Something I have never associated with a moth before. Secondly, I found it pretty cool to see how their flight wasn't as controlled as I had thought of. It looked like a bit of a mess on take off. Again, just disarmed me from the moths I've grown to despise flying around the house. Very cool to see them from a…

#33Slightly off-topic, but I really love the video[1] embedded in the article. Just a slow motion video, no nonsense. Most slow motion videos on youtube has a section on the setup, the backyard of the producer, the equipment etc. Just give me a slow motion video without all the interruptions.

That's because this video is the sixth in the series. The first video goes into all those details. The setup is meaningful to people who want to know how it was filmed. If you don't care for it you can always skip it. Why ask for the video to have less content that other people might want to watch just because you don't?
I get it, I do watch that kind of in-depth content, but sometimes you just want the raw stuff without looking at stock footage websites.
I kinda like TikTok because you can often find short, no-nonsense videos like this, that you can’t find on YouTube.

#34The video left me with a feeling of reverent astonishment about how beautiful our planet really is. Such a shame that we’re destroying it.
The last sentence reads like “Such a shame we’re destroying it. Oh well. So what did you have for breakfast?”

#35Seemed so straighforward: angle wing like \, lift wing. angle wing like /, lower wing. Result: propulsion.
Flight is straightforward, it’s just that humans are too heavy and slow for that.

I doubt moths will be gone after we’ve “destroyed” the planet. They survived before us and will survive after us.
We are destroying the habitat for many large animals though.

Me too! Moths frighten me so much! I've always had this irrational fear that their powdery wings would cause skin rash.

Fine cashmere? Too ordinary. Mink? Maybe, for the merely rich. When I make my first billion, I'll have a scarf made of snow-white moth fur.

#39Super slow motion videos of tiny creatures are absolute gold for animators.
Seeing the giant flappy wings lift the moths body gave me helpful insights and really inspired me.

I mean, that's kinda like saying "why skip ads, someone made that content" or "why not watch whatever is on the tv on whatever channel happens to be open with you turn it on". People like different things, and tastes change with mood, timing, etc.
