Philippine Butterflies in Extreme Slow Motion (4×–100×) | Cebu, Philippines | Part 04

Описание: This full-screen video presents five species of Philippine butterflies and moths captured during takeoff flight and displayed in extreme slow motion ranging from 4× to 100×. The footage was filmed in Cebu, Philippines, in December 2025, and focuses on the biomechanics and behavioral patterns of flight initiation.

Butterfly takeoff is a complex sequence involving rapid wing acceleration, body reorientation, and precise leg release from the substrate. High-speed recording allows observation of wing deformation, stroke timing, and lift generation that are invisible at normal playback speed. Slowing the footage up to 100× reveals how different species use distinct flight strategies depending on wing shape, mass, and ecological niche.

All sequences are shown full frame, without narration, and accompanied by calm piano music, keeping attention on natural movement rather than commentary. Species names are displayed at a slow rate to support identification without interrupting visual flow.

The video includes the following species, commonly observed in the Philippines and Southeast Asia:
