1. This script seems more generic than I expected. As an entomology major, I crave for more information from our videos.
1. It might be nice to compare it with stick insects and mantis, and mention they are closer to stick beetle in phylogeny.
1. The morphological differences between male and female could be emphasized.
1. Regeneration of legs
1. The shape of eggs are so diverse, perhaps worth more mentioning in the script?
2. I can't remember if this clip (see below) was shared among us before, but the close-up and some scripts might be incorporated into ours?
head
veins on the wing
brown spots

Choose：我建議像影片中一樣針對這種蟲的每個角度都拍特寫，也可以學這個影片拍到幼期，也可以像2:42秒配輕快的音樂配合像葉片一樣的擺動，這樣的舞步也有點像salsa，可以納入考慮配音

1. Love how applicable our knowledge of this fly is in this script. But since we have the tool of VR, and could have close up shots for compound eyes and antennae, should we add one paragraph or so to describe it?
1. The script is good, but I begin to wonder a script for regular film might be different from a VR film as the greatest advantage for VR is close up clips.

1. I found this short but nice summary about this phenomenon.
Should identify the species name of these termites in the script.

2. This following article also compares the fungus cultivation between the cutting-leaf ants and termites, and it might be nice to address it in the script.
Choose: 我們應該要有fungus comb, fungus nodule等特寫（下方中文文章提到的），就以這篇文章作為重要參考

3. This Chinese article should be helpful, too.

4. Choose: We should have a royal chamber shot, and when the queen appear with worker termites.

1. I think this piece might need to be restructured.
1. Bee colony has been filmed so many times, describing the generic ecology is okay, but will not distinguish our film, unless we will focus on the micro focus of these scenes which regular cameras could not catch?
1. This video shows some behaviors that could be incorporated into the script. I didn’t know how the pollen is processed after the bees carry them back, so this clip is intriguing to me. https://youtu.be/-Blqi5qcGlE?t=133

I think having the clips of silk spinning and the behavior when being disturbed would be dramatic enough for this clip!! I really look forward to seeing them! How do we get a hold of one of them?
