6 жыл бұрынIn the Namib desert where the sands can reach a scorching 70 degrees centigrade, very little is able to survive, but the Hotrod Ant can amazingly thrive and even forage for food. In this tense encounter, an unsuspecting Hotrod Ant has strayed in AntLion territory and faces the ultimate test of survival.

These slo-mo shots actually help a lot. Things happen so fast in the small insect world, that it's often hard to tell exactly what's happening, even if you're staring right at it. The slight slo-mo really adds some weight to the movement and gives you a better feeling of what's going down from the insect's point of view. ...Probably.

I had these little pits in my yard when I was a kid. I don't remember how I found out you could feed ants to them, but after that, I started treating them as my pets, and I would give them ants to eat. I spent months feeding them, and watching the number of little pits in the yard increase. After that, I spent more months trying to dig them up to see what they looked like. I think I've always known I wanted to be a researcher. Even as a child I could spend months doing what others would be bored of in a day.

Yeah, humans tend to think everything else is beneath them and incapable of anything higher than basic thought.

Stands to reason that if they escape said danger somehow, they'd be like "Oh shit, let's not do that again..."

Antlions are everywhere in the deserts, even the less intense ones. Back home in New Mexico, you could see pits that might have larva or have had larva. I used to think dragonflies were kinda common too, until I realized a good chunk not right by the river or lake were adults.
