I can't believe you got Joe Pera for this. He absolutely is the perfect narrator for insect documentaries- he's so soothing, calming and pleasant. Just like a kindly friend is telling you about beetles.
I get drawn in and find myself fascinated when watching slowed down insects. I don't know Joe Pera, but his voice is so soothing and calming. Perfect choice. I like your voice, too.
it's amazing to see that thorax-abdomen separation too... i heard that beetles have a slightly unexpected/unusual thorax-abdomen location but this totally blew me away!
Doesn't help I was already tired but man, Pera's calming narration almost made me fall asleep. Could listen to him for... well, at least a few minutes before I'm drifting off.
The tiger beetles jumpstart moved me to tears. It's so beautiful, joyous, graceful in it's trust to itself . Like a leap of faith straight into the heavens
Haha yes, and besides it is a very prodigious flight. Tiger beetles are not only the fastest running insects, but among the beetles they are the ones that start flying the fastest 😁! Those little ones are like lightning
As much as I've learned about insects from this channel, the biggest takeaway for me is that I should really be trying to involve my favorite comedians in my day-to-day projects. Sometimes they say yes, apparently.
OMG my eyes actually lit up the moment i heard Joe Pera's voice, this is actually amazing, i love his show so much and it broke my heart when they canceled it, thank you for allowing him to work with you on these amazing videos!
i love that they sometimes slap their legs with their wings because they're not perfectly coordinated xD except that tiger beetle tho, dude is special ops trained
Last night, me, my eldest brother, and our father went for an evening walk with our dog. It has been raining a lot recently, so as a result, the giant palo verde beetles have been emerging and flying about at night and they are a sight to behold. You could almost mistake them for a small bird they're so big and I even heard one buzz by my ear. To fly as an insect seems it would feel like a completely different experience than to fly as a bird.
To me the flight of these beetles looks clumsy and fragile like the first manmade flying machines, whereas birds fly more agile and controlled like today's private jets, Cessna's and Gulfstreams.
Love that channel. If all youtube would be like that, the world would be whole again. From titel to content to education. Its like patient beautifulism
my comfort zone channel. I must say that there no many channels like this and with Journey to the microcosmos you make an ideal couple to watch on a lazy sunday
Super video as usual. I just had to watch after seeing a Tiger Beetle taking off in the title frames. I often try to photograph another species of Tiger beetle, with little success, because of the way they can instantly take off as soon as you get too close. Meaning my whole crawl along the ground, was to no avail at all.
I'm a grad student who studies the tumbling flower beetles and it's so good to see them included in this given how obscure they seem to be. I think this might be the first video on YT showing their tumbling behavior, very cool!
Grapevine beetles are increadible, i've been lucky to see them three times over the last few years and they are enormous and eye catching. They are welcome in my garden any day!
Great video. You know what would be nice? A video explaining about the making of those insect clips, teaching how you do it. I am crazy about doing this with our Brazilian insects (more specifically, our ants).
This is epic, probably the best crossover of 2024. It's crazy how rapidly the tiger beetle goes from completely stationary to airborne, it makes them even more terrifying predators!
Can we all agree that the clay-colored leaf beetle lifting its front limbs up as it takes flight looks like a human baby lifting their arms to be picked up by a parent? Just adorable 😍
This reminds me of my early childhood. My grandfather showed me how to tie a little string around a June Bug, and let it fly around on the string ^^ we always let them go afterwards, as well as the lightning bugs we'd catch, and put into jars, we were only allowed to keep them for 10 or 15 minutes. I loved life as a child in the mountains of Tennessee.
I was terrified of insects/spiders/terrestrial arthropods in general all throughout my young adult life until I got in to taxonomy and general sciences in my 30s. I watch videos like these to help me normalize them to myself; I was able to hold a tarantula for the first time last year. Seeing the beetles all hold their arms out while they fly is just so adorable to me lol. Thanks for your videos, man
That underwater footage of the Water Scavenger Beetle was so clean! It's cool how you can see that its underbelly is hydrophobic, making a thin layer of air. I wonder if that helps with buoyancy.
Beautiful. Recently started collecting Bandai's Diversity of Life series, and needed some references for how the elytra looked in flight. It seemed awkward when i first looked up pics, but yeah they really do raise up high in flight.
This is excellent - Ive filmed some Chafers taking off after being caught in a moth trap and Diving beetle from a pond, but Im limited to 240fps, this footage is amazing!
Amazing things to witness. It would be interesting if you one day had the chance to film a giant flower beetle in flight- their elytra is structured differently and opens very different compared to the typical beetle.
I can't believe you got Joe Pera for this. He absolutely is the perfect narrator for insect documentaries- he's so soothing, calming and pleasant. Just like a kindly friend is telling you about beetles.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ couldn’t agree more literally fallow and just found out about this channel 🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nah, Ze Frank is the master! ;-)
I get drawn in and find myself fascinated when watching slowed down insects. I don't know Joe Pera, but his voice is so soothing and calming. Perfect choice. I like your voice, too.
He has a whole channel/TV series called Joe Pera Talks You To Sleep where he talks about random things in this soothing way
That's his thing, he can also be very funny.
realllll
"Joe Pera BUGS you to sleep"
I LOVE THIS!
Thank you for adding the swimming water beetle. Brilliant.
The crossover we didn't know we needed
Made my day, honestly!
This collaboration brings such joy to my heart. This is how I know I'm following the right CZcams channels.
This collab makes me SO happy. More, please!!
The evasive maneuver of the tumbling beetle is just about the coolest thing I’ve seen today!
it's amazing to see that thorax-abdomen separation too... i heard that beetles have a slightly unexpected/unusual thorax-abdomen location but this totally blew me away!
how a beetle takes flight: 🐢🏋♂️🧚♂️
She was a fairy 🧚♂️
Doesn't help I was already tired but man, Pera's calming narration almost made me fall asleep. Could listen to him for... well, at least a few minutes before I'm drifting off.
Joe Perra. Singing millions to sleep simply by talking. A true gift.
The tiger beetles jumpstart moved me to tears. It's so beautiful, joyous, graceful in it's trust to itself . Like a leap of faith straight into the heavens

I absolutely love the underwater movement of the beetle, thank you for recording underwater!! I was expecting it, love your work keep it up!
Thanks, filming more aquatic insects is on my list of things to do!
@@AntLab
You are a wonderful narrator,
too ! 🦋
Ant lab and Joe Perra?!!
And I thought today would be a waste. Bravo, and thank you very much; a perfect combo.
I never get bored of watching beetles, or moths...those are my fave types of insects.
Btw love the surprising change of voice haha!
This is so beautiful. They have so much unique detail
My fondness of Joe Pera continues to grow.
I absolutely LOVE what they do with their legs during flight.
i love that they sometimes slap their legs with their wings because they're not perfectly coordinated xD
except that tiger beetle tho, dude is special ops trained
Yay, CZcams recommended me a video I actually want to see
Thank you Joe

Extremely fascinating and beautiful. Man, your videos are real jewels, so unique, .. thanks so much for sharing your recordings and insights this way
I love this channel and Joe Pera's stuff, never would have thought they would work together for a video, but it really is a perfect fit.
what cute lil babies :)
Thank you for sharing
Outstanding. I feel supremely privileged to be able to see this view of the natural world. Thank you so much!
I also told myself “no way that’s THE Joe Pera”. Wonderful surprise. Joe delivers as always.
Amazing work you all!!
Joe Pera narration is perfect
Was looking for interesting beetle facts, found an educational calm and beautiful video. Lovely
Wow. The soothing voice in concert with the amazing footage and harmonic background music really made my day. Thank you Adrian and Joe
thanks for the fantastic video... absolutely brilliant.
this is so beautiful you almost forget that these are the beasts that eat your garden ! thank you so much
I love joe!!!
havine Joe Pera do stuff like this is genius, absolutely beautiful

Yeah, I couldn't find much footage here or in the literature of it! What aspects of TFBs are you studying?
What a perfect Sunday combo
the amount of joy and peace this video brings me is immeasurable
this is wonderful
This collaboration makes so much sense. Love love love it
What a wonderful surprise! Joe Pera and ant lab together!
So beautiful thank you so much
yes thank you so much for bringing this into the world!
Absolutely fantastic work both of you! This brought me such joy
Great video, great narrator. Thank you.
Both the beetles and Joe Pera were incredible.
Grapevine beetles are increadible, i've been lucky to see them three times over the last few years and they are enormous and eye catching. They are welcome in my garden any day!
No way! What an awesome collaboration! Thanks guys!
This was an awesome idea. Joe Pera is one of the best talents going right now. Lovely synergy.
I've been dealing with a lot lately, and slow motion beetle flight videos narrated by Joe Pera are 110% what I needed 😅
Oh yes, that's a perfect combo. Excellent collab
Joe is infiltrating my CZcams channels, and I absolutely love it. ❤
Blessed video. I love cute little bugs 🥰
This is an unbelievable crossover. Love Joe’s comedy, love Dr. Smith’s bug stuff. A1 content
This is so beautiful! The designs are amazing.
Well this is the creative union I didn’t know I needed. And your footage is beautiful as always, Adrian.
Great video. You know what would be nice? A video explaining about the making of those insect clips, teaching how you do it. I am crazy about doing this with our Brazilian insects (more specifically, our ants).
Great work... nicely done!
Joe's so excited in this. Had me jumpin' outta my seat. Whatta treat!
Can't belive you guys got Joe to narrate one of these! Perfection!
This is the best collab on CZcams as of now.
This is epic, probably the best crossover of 2024. It's crazy how rapidly the tiger beetle goes from completely stationary to airborne, it makes them even more terrifying predators!
Bugs in slow motion is a wonder to see! Thank you!!
Thanks Joe Pera.
Thank you!
Can we all agree that the clay-colored leaf beetle lifting its front limbs up as it takes flight looks like a human baby lifting their arms to be picked up by a parent? Just adorable 😍
Uppies? Wait, I can give myself uppies! Wheeeeee!
incredible!! thank you :)
I love Joe Perra
Very lovely
I could watch this for hours.
GOD I LOVE JOE PERA SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!
I enjoyed this greatly
My gosh - the perfect combination.
I had to reread the title 3 times before I clicked on it. Needless to say this was amazing! (Forgot to say: Thanks Adrian!)
Well, that was fun. I'll be friendly to all beetles from now on. They can eat as much of my garden vegetables as they want.
Love you Joe Pera

Great idea to have Joe Pera narrate this video!
It's so cool to see the mechanics of these tiny bodies in general, they're so alien to a mammal way of moving and thinking.
I was terrified of insects/spiders/terrestrial arthropods in general all throughout my young adult life until I got in to taxonomy and general sciences in my 30s. I watch videos like these to help me normalize them to myself; I was able to hold a tarantula for the first time last year.

That underwater footage of the Water Scavenger Beetle was so clean! It's cool how you can see that its underbelly is hydrophobic, making a thin layer of air. I wonder if that helps with buoyancy.
Such a lovely video
I can’t get over how cutely they raise their little front legs while flying 😭
Beautiful. Recently started collecting Bandai's Diversity of Life series, and needed some references for how the elytra looked in flight. It seemed awkward when i first looked up pics, but yeah they really do raise up high in flight.
This is so nice.
This is such a great collab
That was so good. Mr pera crushed it
You guys made a good team for this video
I think this is proof-of-concept that Joe Pera needs to narrate more nature documentaries.
agree
This is excellent - Ive filmed some Chafers taking off after being caught in a moth trap and Diving beetle from a pond, but Im limited to 240fps, this footage is amazing!
Joe Pera can narrate anything, but beetles seem extra fitting
amazing!
Amazing things to witness. It would be interesting if you one day had the chance to film a giant flower beetle in flight- their elytra is structured differently and opens very different compared to the typical beetle.
almost dropped my breakfast when i heard the GOAT. holy hell!
wow, they are really really cool!
