With a cumbersome tail, this miniature male lures a female.  The slow motion capture is amazing but the best part I think is when he dance/skates his moves on a small leaf near the end.

The male has to put enormous amounts of effort into trying to impress the female?  Yeah, that sounds about right.  wink
