Collembola (commonly called springtails) are the smallest, fastest, and most common arthropods living in the soil, right in your backyard. I've been working on describing there super-fast jumps, filming them up-close and in ultra slow motion!
The elongate-bodied/slender springtail (family: Entomobryidae) in the beginning and throughout the video is (probably) in the genus Homidia. The globular springtail (family: Dicyrtomidae) is (probably) in the genus Dicyrtomina. But, the specimens need to be evaluated by a taxonomic expert for an accurate species ID.
Thanks to vision research for letting me demo this camera: www.phantomhighspeed.com/prod...

These crazy high frame rate cameras must be such a revolutionary tool for this kind of research. They basically increase our resolution of time by orders of magnitude.

Fantastic footage!!!! Springtails are essential in terrarium builds so anyone making them will be very familiar with these little dudes, but to see them at this speed and detail is honestly incredible. This put a massive smile on my face! Props to you for getting this footage, it must have been quite frustrating at times haha. Thank you!

@brendan5260 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve seen these things before. When i was a kid I watched them seemingly blink in and out of existence, they jumped from one place to another so quickly my new, inexperienced mind couldn’t keep up. My brain had never been forced to keep up with something that fast before. That was how I first learned to hit a moving target. Strange how these small experiences shape mental development.

@JordanSmith006 Жыл бұрын

Same. It's currently storming and I found one on my computer screen. I lightly touched it and it disappeared. It gave me nostalgia about when I was younger and it rained, they would be in front of my sliding glass door in my house, and I'd lay down up close so I could see them. If I touched them lightly, they'd disappear. I called them glitch bugs, and years later today, because of this video I know what they're called!

It would be cool if you worked with another researcher the way you did on the snapjaw ants to make a model of them. Also, what a cool high-speed camera to be able to play with!! So much detailed work... you have a ton of patience!

Mostly escape, but also probably for locomotion occasionally too.
