Great!
Although this has been on the site for a couple of years, I just noticed it today while browsing. What a wonderful way to capture certain behaviors!
I wish I had thought of it a few days ago, while photographing a Xylocopa extending its glossa while fanning its galeae sideways. Well, there's always a next time.

Nice!
What are you using for video? I'm expecting my first baby shortly so I'm in the market - and it'd be nice to have one that worked for bugs, too!

Wonderful!
Ah, our first video, and it is wonderful! Comical yet of scientific interest too I would think. I hope we will see more videos as well, although since a major purpose of this site is identification, still pictures will be needed too. It could be hard to identify an uncommon Cerambycid bouncing around on New Jersey Tea!

Thanks for posting this neat clip, Lynette!
