Slowing down nature to a single moment is breathtakingly awesome. Those wings are flapping at 70-80 times per second.

At the opposite end of dog years, I wonder what life looks like for an entity sampling reality at such a high rate.

Humans must look like slow sloths from a hummingbird’s perspective.
