DEEP LOOK is a science video series that explores big science by going very, very small, from KQED and PBS Digital Studios.
We use macro photography and microscopy in glorious 4K resolution, to see science up close … really, really close.
From Deep Look. Dragonflies and damselflies may look alike, but these expert hunters have distinct strategies. Dragonflies rule the open skies, while damselflies hover like tiny helicopters through dense vegetation. Each is perfectly adapted to its environment. So, in this game, which player do you choose? 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that…
From Deep Look. Researchers are helping orange growers fight Asian citrus psyllids pests with invisible lasers, ghastly wasps and more trickery. Learn more in our episode, "Citrus Psyllids Bribe Ants With Strings Of Candy Poop" 👈 https://youtu.be/MtPXows1FWs?si=ujdREGaSeDb0eQN_ #youtubeshorts #kqed #insects #nature
From Deep Look. Tiger beetles are lightning-fast hunters, sprinting so quickly they momentarily outrun their own vision. Watch how these tiny but ferocious predators use blistering speed to chase down prey and finish the kill with their oversized, crushing mandibles (lucky for us, they’re not human-sized!). 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that…
From Deep Look. Cone Snails have an arsenal of tools and weapons under their pretty shells. These reef-dwelling hunters nab their prey in microseconds, then slowly eat them alive.

From Deep Look. The “mite-biters” are also known as “ankle-biters” for their ability to kill varroa mites by chewing off their legs… 💀 Watch the full episode, "Varroa Mites Are a Honeybee’s 8-Legged Nightmare" 👉 https://youtu.be/69Do8tw_xy0?si=PNCq_IGMrSFJhLJf #youtubeshorts #kqed #bee #insects #mites
From Deep Look. They might look like harmless grasshoppers, but locusts have an appetite for destruction. When the conditions are right, they transform from mild-mannered loners into gregarious partiers. They swarm, causing chaos and suffering at the level of a biblical plague. So what sets them off? Watch "These Swarming Locusts Are Grasshoppers Gone Wrong"…
From Deep Look. Deep Look producer Gabriela Quirós filmed with the Perez family in Oaxaca, Mexico for her episode about stingless bees. Beekeeper Emilio Pérez keeps four different species of stingless bees at his home to sell their honey.

From Deep Look. Argentine ants are spreading across the globe, eliminating local ants with their take-no-prisoners tactics: invade, dismember, repeat. But this ruthless killer seems to have met its match in the winter ant, a California native with a formidable secret weapon.

From Deep Look. Fluffy kittens chasing a ball are beyond adorable — but they sure aren’t born that way. Practically deaf and blind, in their first few weeks they need constant warmth and milk to survive. This is a huge challenge for animal shelters, so they’re working with researchers on ways to help motherless kittens…

From Deep Look. During the highest tides, California grunion stampede out of the ocean to mate on the beach. When the party’s over, thousands of tiny eggs are left stranded up in the sand. How will their lost babies make it back to the sea? Watch "These Fish Are All About Sex on the Beach"…

From Deep Look. You know those couples that do everything together? Lovebugs, also known as honeymoon flies, can spend anywhere from a half-hour to a couple of days attached to each other. As the female drags or carries the male from flower to flower, piggyback style, they pollinate cherries, apples and pears. 👉 Donate to…
