📹Behind the Scenes #1: Filming Parasitic Wasps & Clothes Moths at UC Berkeley🔬
🕑 Added 2025-06-25 21:31:01 +0000 UTCHi Deep Peeps! Here's a sneak peek at our behind-the-scenes video about how we filmed Trichogramma wasps parasitizing the egg of a clothes moth in our new video, Clothes Moths Got Your Sweater? There’s a Wasp for That.
The Deep Look team headed to the University of California, Berkeley’s Biological Imaging Facility to film tiny parasitoid wasps laying their eggs in the eggs of clothes moths. The wasps are smaller than grains of salt so Josh Cassidy (Deep Look's lead producer and cinematographer) and Rosa Tuirán (the producer of our clothes moth video) used the university’s dissecting microscope to film the action In the behind-the-scenes video above, Rosa explains what it took to get the critical wasp shots. Enjoy!
(We'll be releasing this YouTube Shorts video on our YouTube channel on June 30th.)
