Uploaded and noticed “flys” isn’t a word! Thumbnail is fixed.

Glad I could serve as the sacrificial finger model!

Awesome, thanks for the info! I've filmed a diparid wasp jumping with it's middle legs middle legs before, but not a eupelmid. It would be cool to film more of that! This one that Matt pictured I filmed some flight sequences of too, but it didn't jump into the flights.

Curious about those middle leg tarsi?! They seem different from the others?

These came out great!!!!!

If it gets people to click and watch, i'll take it!

Yeah, I felt the same way about these when I first saw them in action and when I first heard about what they specialize in catching

We think there is a lot of room for natural history museums to produce interesting, unique, and informative content made for online audiences. A lot of those stories could be from the unique collections and research happening at these institutions. (research project led by @ruzimyrmex.bsky.social !)

in short, there is an opportunity gap for natural history museums in the US to use YouTube better! In particular, research and collections functions of natural history museums are often not featured in what they communicate via YouTube. We show this via surveying 400+ videos from 28 US museums.

Very cool!

Thanks, Gil!

yeah, now I want to go through my wasp footage and see if their hind wings are also passively powered by the front ones too

Those are some red wings, wow!

Oh no!
