Ladybugs take off - in slow motion

To take your breath away, ladybugs unfolding their wings in ultra-slow-motion. Complement with seven ordinary things in extraordinary slow motion.

Various sequences of ladybugs, which prepare and take off for flying away. The sequences were recorded by cameraman Rainer Bergomaz from Blue Paw Artists with a pco.dimax HD at 3000 frames/s and 1296 x 720 pixel resolution. Within the sequences the before and after parts are displayed at 250 frames/s and when the ladybug starts to unfold its wings the display speed is reduced to 25 frames/s. And a sequence with a water drop falling onto a flower is included.
