Dr. Adrian Smith specializes in insect natural history, and often films them using high-speed cameras, to capture stunning detail.

We were taken by these moths, which range from the vibrant Rosy Maple Moth to the diminutive White Dotted Prominent. In the video, shot at 6,000 frames per second, we see the slow wing flap of the moths, giving a rare look at their color and pattern. Take a look at the video below.
