A couple of weeks back, I emerged from the lake after a refreshing swim almost to be hit in the face by a dragonfly. That made me remember the nice new super slow-mo feature on my phone, perfect for filming kamikaze insects!

Getting a good shot was challenging since the phone can only capture 0.8 seconds at a time with a 30x slowdown. But with enough pointing and clicking I eventually got the footage for the short video below. 

I never knew dragonflies glide so much. Learn something new every day 🙂

Have a fun weekend!
