Step right up to see tiny springtails spin through the air with the greatest of ease! In ponds and streams, they skyrocket out of the reach of hungry insects like water striders by slapping a tail-like appendage against the water. And you wont believe how they stick the landing

Amazing! Deep Look did it again! Pricise analysis of mechanism & kinematics is exceeding expectation! For such a tiny creature, under different regime of aerodynamics/physics, which requires specialized adaptation. How such a feat becomes possible? Here's n answer. Jumping water strider is an extra gift (personally! Their long slim legs are not only for water surface. Another satisfactory work! Keep it up! Thanks!

We have a bunch of springtails that flock to our kids pool. Everyone says they dont bite, but they sure do something that stings me. Every time Im out there gardening or swimming with my kids, Ill feel a little pricking sensation, and look over to see a dang springtail latched onto my skin. I dont mind them in my garden helping out but why does it feel like they are biting me! Its so annoying

One time, I saw a water strider attack a spider twice its size. Spider was walking minding it's own business and all of sudden the strider attack but the spider overpowered with its size
THEN, the other water strider helped his friend from the spider. I almost had a headache typing this

My favorite hexapods! Theyre incredibly underrated in the field entomology, to the extent that none of my professors know an entomologist who studies them. Theyre known to be the most abundant animal on the planet, yet still so under appreciated. I love them!

Hey there! LOVE this video but you may need to fix the captioning issue. It popped up in the beginning then just stopped working. At least I was able to pause so I'd read the entire thing of what was scripted in this video. :) Again, great video!

I love springtails, theyre such impressive animals and very cute! I dont know too many other things that could JUMP OFF OF WATER. Thank you for sharing this incredible footage!

Imagine human have these jumping capabilities, then Canadian PM Justin trudeau would be at home without any trouble even his airplane malfunction in India during G20.

That noise annoyed me all night long. They have unlimited energy I think. First I was suspecting my neighborhood thinking they was throwing rocks to my window

I unintentionally introduced these to my freshwater aquarium. The fish love the occasional live snack, and they help keep things clean!

no disrespect but this narrator uses too much emphasis when reading their lines. Sounds like a cheesy american video manual

I feel like its not said enough in the comments, but show really has awesome narration as well as good footage! :D

Entertaining storytelling. These little lives we don't see by our normal eyes. Glad we have these great cameras now

So in freefly basically a skydiver or windtunneler, arches and lowers its center of gravity to stabilize itself. Neat
reply

Its a little joke I do where whenever the Springtails jumps away, they always say later when they hop away

Glory be to God for His AWESOME creation. Blessed is He. who created everything beautiful & continues
