Absolutely! That's why I post them.



When you zoom in that close you enter another world. The human eye can't focus on such tiny details. We also miss much of the color content. You can't even tell they have such colorful eyes by staring at them up close. Video allows you to see a hint of the individual lenses of the compound eyes.

I only wish I could get finer detail without the light diffusion of this cheapo diopter filter. Very limited selection for camcorders.
