Fan-blinking-tastic! It truly is amazing and almost unbelievable. That is one of the skills of the natural world that you really could envy.

First one I ever saw shot off when I almost landed on it (poor buoyancy!) as it was pretending to be a rock.

Nothing like as good as this one though .... I rewound it several times looking to see if there was any obvious touch-uppery going on. I couldn't see anything, though?

I had the same problem, it came up as pornography.

I'm left wondering what your all looking at.
