Incredible Specialized Drone Footage of Monarch Butterflies
Camera and video drones have been capturing amazing nature footage since they were first used by naturalists and wildlife documentarians. But this video of butterflies, captured by a specialized drone, is particularly incredible. The tiny drone is shaped like a hummingbird. The blades are protected by shields, so when the drone, not seen as a threat to the resting Monarch butterflies, flies close to the hoards of insects, it can't harm them. Once the butterflies start flying, the footage is awe-inspiring. Some of the butterflies even land on the drone, showing it truly blends into the huge crowd of subjects.
