My footage used by the California Academy of Sciences!

[Precarious]

This prestigious organization spotted my video on YouTube and asked permission to use it as part of a display on Idolomantis diabolica featuring a live specimen.

What an honor!

A big thanks to Lauren (LLCoolJew) in San Francisco for taking the video and great photos since I can't make it out to CA for the exhibit.

And a thank you to Molly Michelson of CAS for including me and giving Lauren a free pass on the $28 admission fee!

Woo-hoo!

Congratulations!

Very awesome...

I meant to tell you that in the bottom photo, the man was literally pointing the your video, saying to his wife "Look at THAT!!!". And the other guy's jaw dropped at the final sequence!!!

My bad, admission isn't $28... it's $29.95!!!!! https://www.calacademy.org/tickets/

The California Academy of Sciences is a VERY BIG DEAL, Yo!!!! As my people say: Mazel Tov!

Your music for the video was PERFECTLY timed. I have never seen that vid, but I now find myself saying," Look at that!"

Way to go Henry, I always knew you would get a break like this, simply awesome!

Thanks Lauren for being his eye's cross country, your such a sweetie!

But good God man that's a BIG tank to feed one Idolo in, they must let 50 flies go for him to get one or two, and is that water in the bottom of it(there not the most nimble)?

I have a photographer friend who is constantly complaining that his work is used (by orgs like BBC, Smithsonian) without asking permission so it's really cool that they handled it the way they did.

Awesomeness!! And well deserved. You really need a website... I for one would love to see the photos organized somewhere.
