popespliff Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 A short outtake of Drosera capensis trapping a midge.Intresting to see how the abdomen of the midge swells up as the digestive enzymes flood into it even before it is dead.

nadja77 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Very interesting indeed! Looking at the actual process in time laps as opposed to the "finished job" makes me wonder if my hobby is just a tad morbid. It doesn't look like the nicest way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Caldwell Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Fantastic footage - timelapse is always great! Seeing how a species that I grow actually catches a largish insect is really exciting. Just a few hours ago I mangaged to NOT capture an incident on film of my outdoors Nepenthes maxima hybrid catching a European wasp (although I witnessed it myself). It was completely dead within six to seven minutes. A lot of CPs are scarily efficient at what they do... Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Alistair, Do you know how long the 82 seconds of footage took to shoot in real time - ie. how speeded up it is?

vraev Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Fantastic!! I did notice that BBC Life's timelapse footage was shot on a nikon D3S...the 7000$ high end professional DSLR with a short wide angle lens. Alistair, could u possibly know how exactly they do it? Series of pics with an intervelometer and join them together in a avi wrapper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
