So I know with large animals like lions they just record from far away and I’ve even saw one that uses a crab robot to record crabs. But how about those little animals or insects? There was that one video about a caterpillar that can disguise itself as an ant queen and would eat the ant’s larvae inside the nest and was really baffled by it. Like how did they even record that?

For small animals, there may be multiple videographers stationed for hours/days in an area where those creatures are known to frequent.
A lot of insect footage is staged using insects in captivity, which are housed in clear glass terrariums. This footage may be spliced with b-roll footage of the insect’s natural habitat to make it feel like you’re venturing into their world.
