Coffee & Viz: Bugs in Motion: Insect Behavior Up-Close & in Slow-Motion

Most of the fastest animals on earth are arthropods. They swing their appendages, snap their jaws, and propel their bodies at incredible speeds, sometimes using spring-loaded mechanisms. But because of their small size and cryptic lifestyles, the behaviors of many of these fast-moving organisms have yet to be captured on video or described. Adrian Smith will present his work filming the behaviors of creatures such as trap-jaws ants, beetles, moths, springtails, and more. He will show footage and describe behaviors that reveal how remarkable these organisms are.
