    As an entomologist, seeing all these videos about invertebrates brings joy to me. Not many people have bothered taking footage of such animals, let alone discussing them in an informative manner targeted at the general public. Bravo!

    They do have a very fluid movement, like a fish. If you've ever scared a few dozen silverfish at once, it's actually kind of cool to watch them scatter. They do look like a school of dish dispersing, their scales flickering like fish scales. I find them to be quite cute, I enjoyed the close up. Their faces close up make them even cuter.

      I'm not usually one to correct typos, but I believe you all mean "diptera". It means "two wing", referring to the defining feature that makes flies different from most other insect orders. Most insect orders are named after wing characteristics. "Dipters" isn't a word, at least in English or Latin.
