Down in the La Brea Tar Pits with #DeepLook | #Shorts

#DeepLook producer Rosa Tuirán and cinematographer Josh Cassidy traveled to Los Angeles, California to the @LaBreaTarPitsandMuseum in Los Angeles, CA to film the petroleum fly. This remarkable insect swims freely amidst the prehistoric fossils. Like the alkali fly in Mono Lake and other members of the shorefly family, it has adapted to an extreme environment and has turned this deadly trap into their home. Sean Campbell, senior paleontological preparator at La Brea Tar Pits, worked with the team as they filmed petroleum flies for our new episode. Watch "Tar Pits Are a Death Trap.
