Dragonflies and Frogs (1985)
Also known as: Gläserne Schwingen und Schleuderzunge
This film takes a look at the lives of dragonflies and frogs on a local stretch of water. Of special interest is the territorial and mating behaviour of the different kinds of dragonfly. Extremely slow motion shots, which were taken freehand, reveal patterns of behaviour previously unknown even to scientists. The programme, taking the frog and the dragonfly as examples, shows how the predator and prey interact. Once again slow motion provides impressive shots of the catching techniques of frogs.
