The Extremely Fast Animals in Your Yard - Springtails
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 05. 2022
- 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...

This channel is the very best. Every time, I feel like I'm experiencing science happening right in front of me. Absolutely love it!
slomo guys have nothing on antlab dude. but occasionally smarter everyday has sceincey slomo footage too.
You're always experiencing science all the time.
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.
Do you have audio recording too? I imagine them yelling 'weeeeeeeee!'
Seriously though, your photography skills to capture these critters are amazing. Thanks for sharing with us!
I can't get that out of my head now, imagining them doing a happy bouncy noise :)
Me rewatching this now going "Weeeeeee"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"WOOOOPIE!!"
Ok, this is way more fun than it has any right to be 🤣
😂🤣
Haha Michael P you legend. Funny as heck.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
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!
These guys need their own Olympic Games! 👍👏🥇
Hey, thanks for having us! We're excited, too.
those slow-mo jumps are poetic
I can't get enough of your videos.
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.
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!
One of my favorite animal in recent years is the gobular springtail and their many colors
Dropped everything when I saw you had a new upload! I just got hired for my first entomology position doing field work this summer, and I couldn't be more excited. A new ant lab video on the same day was just the icing on the cake!
CongrANTulations!! 🐜
Its nice to be able to get a closer look at springtails! I have a bunch of them in my terrariums, I always thought they'd look more like chunky centipedes with less legs
wow, I never knew these little guys looked like really. I only ever seen them hopping around from way up and never knew where they like to hide. Thanks for this! This footage is super awesome!!!
Love your videos, such a treat!
Great work on recording those springtails.
The difference is really neat to see!! Do you think there is a difference anatomically between how the two furculae are formed? 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!
Wow! That’s unbelievable!
I'm so thankful for these videos. It's amazing to see insects in slow motion and see how they jump and fly is incredible.
Just subscribed because I love seeing people talk about something they love! Mad respect for folks with PhDs, I can tell you have such a passion for what you do!
love it
I love how much you share with us. And thanks to vision research for them lending you their camera
Great viewing really close up
This is such a cool channel
I selfishly wish you put out more videos. They're too interesting, amazing really. That's got to be one expensive camera, if it's even something you can buy.
Amazing video! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us, I'm glad there's people out there who care about these little dudes as much as I do 💕
Funny little creatures. Thanks for your work , and showing us this !
😊🐜
Super cool! I love your videos! I wish you made more ant videos though.
Awesome video! Awesome science!
Wow! I'm so impressed! Thanks for doing all the hard work and letting us have fun watching it! ☺️
Amazing to watch as always!
Thank you Doctor, MAGNIFICENT video.
I am always happy when there is a new upload and I get some interesting footage and info about a small critter I didn’t know much about before :)
Thanks for your patience and dedication to your work. It benefits all who are interested. From one N. Carolinian to another!
Thank you so much for your research. I'm constantly amazed by the variety of life on this planet. It truly helps me be a better and understanding human. THANK YOU
Great update!!!thanks for sharing your love for insects 🐜
Adrian! This is fabulous!
All the thumbs up to you! One of the most important things we can do as humans is learn more about the world we live in.
Incredible footage! Springtails are such interesting arthropods.
Very well orchestrated documentation thank you so much for putting it out there
First video of yours that I watched. Really good content 👍🏻. Looking forward to seeing more
Phenomenal work!
Excellent work.
Beautifull footage!
You did a wonderfull job capturing this!
Love the springtails in my ant setups ❤
Very nice work. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing! So enjoy your channel, and thank you for sharing! 😊 👍
I really appreciate this guy's Videos, I think they're just awesome.
Excellent as always
Awesome video and research! You’re a great teacher!
Fantastic as always. Thank you for this.
absolutely love seeing this things and your passion for it! keep it up
Amazing work! SO cool!
Thank you for your hard work
Thank you for sharing!
So tiny and so fast! It’s really cool to consider the different features of the animals and how it impacts their jumps.
Fantastic work, thank you for sharing.
Fantastic work!!
I find these on my porch every year and could never figure out what they are, very cool! Thank You!
i never knew these things existed. Thanks for showing us!
Imagine being a bug and thinking "you know what's easier than walking? Just yeet yourself bro"
I did a bachelor thesis on saproxylic organisms in dead wood and gotta say, springtails were really abundant. Didnt think they look so cute whey they jump, considering they were already dead when i was inspecting them.
These guys are always hopping on the surface of my pond. The fry and minnows love eating them
Amazing and very hard work!
Your vids always make me smile :) (and damn you must have a lot of patience and passion to do these! ;)
Amazing! Thank you for sharing. 🇪🇨
Superb footage my man
Love your contents ❤👍🏽
the clickbait nature of this title/thumbnail combo is making me laugh so much
EXTREMELY FAST ANIMALS??? IN /MY/ YARD???
You got a sub! Very interesting content you have my dude.
Thank you
This is incredible 👏
Love these guys. :)
Having only seen them as little flecks that pop up, I've never realized that they don't tend to land on their feet. They are so wonderfully ridiculous and random. Thank you for another revelation (my other fav was seeing how wildly fly halteres can gyrate - didn't really know before your videos).
Thank you.
Thanks to you. Your job is superb. I admire your passion for the good work and I can understand why you can get astonished with these so perfect biological machines.
Very interesting. Thanks
They are so cute!!!
These are so fascinating to watch 😮😮 it would be cool if you could include some footage of them at normal speed as well to easily compare the slow mo vs normal
Thanks as always for your hard work. At first I thought it might be a flea? Have you ever recorded any species of those pesky fleas?
haven't done fleas yet, but they are on the list!
Me too , it's look similar to fleas in some way .
Amazing creatures
Thank you so 💓 much
The more I watch your videos, the more in awe I am of the Creator!
This is so cool, I didn't know there were PSEUDO-SCORPIONS living in the topsoil outside my house! Also, why do the springtails jump? Is it anti-predatory or do they actually use this to move around?
Mostly escape, but also probably for locomotion occasionally too.
@@AntLab Did you have to do anything special for it to jump, then? It doesn't seem like it was very troubled by your presence over the hours it took to record the footage
@@SaladDongs somebody call PETA! 😂
I keep springtails for use in my terraria, and it seems to be mainly an escape response - they jump like mad when their box is tapped or shaken.
That is so cool!
Wow recording these video must take a lot of patience. Very interesting to see how you do this!
Keep up the good work
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.

The best aliens aren’t lightyears away, beyond the hubble telescope’s reach; they’re under our nose-a mere microscope’s distance from us. Thank you for showing us these delightful aliens.
So cool. I wonder what new things they can learn with cameras running at a higher speed.
Man you are awesome
I love your channel
Thanks!
80 g's that's insane! I guess since they use fluid hydraulics it is survivable,very cool!
hey ant lab, nice video👍. have you ever thought about including a rough world map of where the species is living? because a lot of your viewers probably dont live in the us.
springtails are everywhere, but I agree this would be nice for other videos about less common bugs
I first learned about springtails when I was researching bioactive terrariums/vivariums.
I found out about them when they arrived in my tarantula tanks one day
Now I have a good few thousand running around my tarantula tanks
Mesofauna é fantástico
cool
i am interested in springtails because i keep tarantulas in terrariums and the springtails are beneficial organisms to have inside the terrarium
That's awesome! What sort of travel are we talking about? Is this a defensive (flight) mechanism?
they look so derpy flippin they lil ol bodies lmao l love them
Thank you! P f amazing!!!
The secret of these little guys' teleportation is in their name who would have thought.
Love your videos. I have never seen a slow motion of a flea. Will that ever be possible to make?
It’s on the to-do list!
