Dragonflies are one of the best hunters in the world with a 95% catch rate of their prey. We need to appreciate more that these insects aren’t huge, because they are incredible
They especially love eating mosquitoes. Yes!!
Nature’s helicopter
The chinook
Its the other way around
Nature's *flying joint*
Well, they're Ornithopters but I guess so
Ikr
Oh wow this is gorgeous. And reminds me of that one episode of the podcast within the wires where they ask you to visualise yourself as a dragonfly.
And then a little girl rips your wings off because they are beautiful.
Hah yeah did that as a kid... children are cruel
Hi! Could you please share with me, which episode has this visualization? I’ve had a red dragonfly come to my backyard everyday, for the past two weeks, always at the same time and same place. I want to learn more about these creatures, but, have only found a few videos. I’m very curious about this visualization. Thank you sooo much!
@@ivelissehfranceschi1674 it's the very first episode if I'm remembering correctly, you can find within the wires on spotify, youtube, wherever else you can find podcasts pretty much.
@@ivelissehfranceschi1674 it's not like a scientific thing but hopefully you have fun with it :D
I've watched so many videos of dragonfly flight but it really never gets old. beautiful little beasties
I have a dragonfly that I'm keeping. It came to me at our home and flew inside an open door. I knew it was a female because she had the end of the tail for laying eggs. I knew her time was close, so I decided to keep her safe from larger predators. She lasted three days with me before she passed, with each day becoming more and more sluggish in her movements. Her colors were brilliant with florescent blue and green highlights, and her eyes were iridescent. Shortly after she died, her colors began to fade, and she folded her legs close to her body. She is now dark brown, light brown, and black. I thanked her for coming to me and allowing me to hold her when she was alive. I still hold her little body, but now it's only to study her intricate shape and delicate wings. I have come to find that she is far more advanced than any modern flying machine that we have today. Did she have a male partner? Did she lay her eggs? Did she have a name? Perhaps someday I will know those things, but not today. I hope she knows the joy she has given me, even if it was only for a short time. Her soul has gone, but here spirit will remain with me forever. . .

You don't know anything about "modern flying machines." The innovations in flight which we saw in the 1920s and 1950s make anything in the "natural" world look pathetic. We broke the animal records for flight almost as soon as we managed flight at all. Then in just 50 years we broke the speed of sound, more than 10 times the speed of the fastest animal ever. I know you want to view this emotionally, because clearly you felt a connection to this insect. There's nothing really wrong with that exactly, but you drew some very wrong conclusions. First is the "more advanced" bit. Also, you thanked an insect for coming to you and allowing you to hold her? You're projecting human characteristics to an insect. This dragonfly did not come to you. It did not allow you anything. There is no volition (will) here. It will not know your joy. Joy is a concept no animal can know. They do not have lingering spirits.
@@reliantncc1864 and that's exactly the reason why you're still single, because the world you choose to project absolutely sucks and is unattractive. It's called having an imagination. You might want to try it sometime. . .
@@reliantncc1864 Tone that edge down a little bit. He didn't ask for your professional opinion of insects. Yes yes. Animals don't have spirits don't feel joy blah blah blah. Who cares? if this guy wants to believe the spirituality of insects, let him believe it. 🤓🤓🤓
@@Nanomachinesson9094and you know this for fact? How do you know animals have no spirits? How do you know humans have? You really know nothing just like everyone else. If the original comment wishes to feel this way let them. You or I or the negative post know nothing. Give it a break!
@@reliantncc1864 ok joyless ghoul
Who came here after watching Dune?
YES I DID ACTUALLY HAHAHA THE ORNITHOPTERS ARE SO COOL
So true
I’m trying to make a (semi) functional ornithopter
Magnificence! Thank you.
Incredible!
i absolutely love the slow motion, my only problem is the lack of how close it is and detail and with it being out of focus pretty frequently... but as a whole this was an excellent bit of footage.
^_^
Stunning photography.
Just amazing
I always tell people that dragonflies are one of the most badass animals on the planet, because they are :)
I have often seen dragoon flying in circular or square patterns to lock down a area they are hunting in. This form a predation from most likely applies to other animals as well turtles seals sharks.
This is such a great video. I was wondering if I could use it for a scholarship application video.
It's so beautiful
Beautiful ❤
Noble little beasts

Wonderful, does anyone know the title or origin of the music used?
If I was to have any wings, I would choose dragonfly wings, for obvious reasons
They're like the helicopters of insect
The inspiration behind the helicopter 🚁
Why does the previous video have a massive amount of dislikes?
I think because this series is completely over the top with this "American style". It is unnecessarily dramatic and the stuff they demonstrate has nothing to do the animals nor is it in any way scientific :P
I think you hit the nail in the head. They are repeating the same mistakes they made with "Deadliest Predators", but with even less information available about the animals in question.
far more advanced flight engineering!
Music!!!?
dune brought me here.
I read jungle juice manhwa so im really curious about dragonfly
What a cultured individual
Jungle Juice gang
Beat that computer CPU.
It literally looks like a plane
Way too short ! - Make it at least 5 minutes !
Anyone here after watching Dune?
Why people compare dragonflies to helicopters? Their wings don't spin around
Because of the shape and its hovering like abilities
But the body looks very helicopter-like. If the wings don’t spin that’s because the nature hasn’t invented the wheel.
Just evolved from bacteria right?
Narration as if for a child audience. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Works of Allah the Creator
The dragonfly is insane. It has some super fast "propulsion". Imagine a plane. Normally the fastest planes still need a few seconds to accelerate. The dragonfly goes from zero to close high speed almost instantly. Imagine a car going from 0 to 150 miles an hour in half a second ("hyper" cars that cost over 2 million dollars break the 3 second barrier in 0 to 60 miles an hour). Besides it can go up, backwards or to the sides more efficiently than any helicopters and can stop almost instantly as well. No flying object made by mankind is as efficient as a dragonfly in the air. Not even drones.
That’s when we do design drones they’re using the dragonfly as a referrence and are trying to mechanically replicate this amazing specimen
They can accelerate so fast because they are so small. *Yeesh I'm a buzzkill
It's because of their lightweight mass. More mass = more inertia = more force needed to accelerate = less acceleration if given insufficient mass.
The 'fastness' you mention is mostly about scale. As you go smaller seemingly everything gets stronger faster and more agile. This is because mass scales cubically while strength and thus forces generated can only be scaled quadratically. As you go larger inertial forces get more dominant compared to other forces and create the illusion that stuff is moving slower. Dragonflies are amazing creatures regardless.
Wonderful nature of God creation
Impressive creature, one came around a corner once, flew straight in my face, it was startled me too, it stopped in mid air like it was nothing, then it observed me for one or two seconds and then it shot away zigzagging. I felt like an arrow was flying into my face... I felt honored it scanned me for a few seconds and flew away lol.
This reminds me of what I've read about certain vipers. It's not just faster than you, it's faster than you can think. A viper can strike in less time than it takes your eyes to send signals to your brain, not even counting processing time. Dragonflies are even faster. If you think it scanned you for a few seconds, that means it studied you extensively. It might have been a few seconds to you, but it could have been the equivalent of an hour to it.
I remember that in my school we had a massive field that had alot of dragon flys hiding in the trees
That wasn't that long ago

Wow I wish this was 10 minutes long! It’s so beautiful!
Who else is here after seeing the Ornithopters in Dune?
Wow That was beautiful ! Nature is amazing 💗. Thanks 👍
I am so happy that Dune movie modeled their Ornithopters after Dragonflies
Same. They're indeed a marvel of nature. I'd love to see the day they'd build & fly an actual ornithopter.
I am fascinated with these amazing creatures. For the past two weeks, a red dragonfly has been coming to my backyard everyday, at the same time. Is this usual? I have been taking pictures everyday, it’s beautiful.
I think the dragonfly spirit animal is considered good luck when it shows up often!
If something happens every day it's not unusual. It's usual.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 it didn’t happen before and that’s what made it unusual idiot
سبحان الله العظيم
They should do a three hour video of flying bugs in slomo like the way they do the ocean ones
Amazingk creature, and amazingk camera also :D
Their face looked way different up in Gainesville
How do they fly up though? Because if they’re just flapping up and down wouldn’t they just bob midair?
I'm still wondering why this video has only 108k views...
It's worth more than this...
I tried to photograph some at the weekend and it was just impossible, got them but not close enough and probably blurry :(
Lucy Lang I was very lucky, as I was accidentaly found one, who would not fly, presumably because it was to cold the night before, I put him on my hand, taking lots of photos only a few centimeters away from him/her.
Lucy Lang Well he wasn't were I left him, when I returned 2 weeks later, so I assume everything is fine.
Im convinced the helicopter was based off the Dragonfly
Watching this after watching DUNE movie
I liked for the small yet fierce predator, the slow motion and that bigass camera. 😐
Did anyone else pull up this video after reading Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson?
This morning my patient's dog killed a dragonfly. 💔
The one second the dragonfly was flying and the next moment it was in a dog's mouth.
Dragonflies have been all around me lately and this incident made my heart hurt.
Very cool ..
This footage is astounding. Thank you for bringing it to me. I always assumed dragonflies flew like birds. The independent wing action is so cool.
Yanma
I can't get my head around the fact his camera can take 2000 frames per second!!!!!!
Beautiful video.
the 2 time sent me
Like a dragon
Could predator x bite through metal? 👎
If a non-self-aware non-intelligent process/being designed this, I've got 1,000,000,000 for you for FREE.
We can learn a lot from a piece of technology as this. Though I am here solely for the dragonflies ❤️ there is so much more to take from these dimensions we are part of but don’t see as they may be too fast OR too slow to interpret. We are a part of it all but remember it’s such a small part. That’s huge!
Nice
Dragonflies are beautiful & OP i luv it
Wow! That is so cool. Thanks
Anybody here bc of that one WEBTOON?
YES
what??
Wonderful world 👍😘🥳🎉😍
Who came here after watching Lexx?
يعسوب، صقر الناموس، عقربة الحمار
( فراشة تقتات البرغش والناموس )...
Cool vid, your outro card looks like you're taking a super macro closeup of a mouse's asscrack though lol.
Subhanallah.
who knew zach galifianakis filmed for BBC
and people say there is no God. Amazing stuff.
Why no captions?
How it's like to see through Sharingan eyes.
Does anyone know the title of this melody? Thank you
Who's here for design/animation reference?
Me!
Very similar to helicopter flight model
No not at all
@@Uncle_Sham This is because dragonfly wings do not rotate. If the nature had invented the wheel, dragonflies would have rotors instead of wings.
@@samanli-tw3id no tail rotor either
Amazing 😍
In Indian public called vaniya 😃😃
Darkseid's lasers be like
Engineering has been in existence for millions of years, as exemplified by the remarkable ability of certain organisms to hover effortlessly and without vibrations. This is achieved through the harmonious movement of their balanced wings, effectively neutralizing the opposing forces generated by each pair of wings with the other.

My god I thought it was “Dirty” Marty Stafford as my granddad called him..but nothing mated
Wow
Aight, who's reading Jungle Juice?
Yes 👋👋
Very impressive biomechanics.
Lexx in slo mo
I rememeber o7
Fantastic video beautiful insects they are
They look fake 👁👄👁
We be denying everything nowdays.
As advanced as man is mother nature always rules
That camera looks like a Cannon!
Nicely done.
Das ist zwar gut und von der BBC aber einige UA-cam - User haben schon vergleichbare, bessere Szenen gezeigt.
