30fps is too slow to capture these speedy creatures. See here:

Yeah, their sorta old news. As I remember, people did it by filming the over hang of their roof when the sung was bgehind it. They could capture rods flying around then.

I guess I am behind the times.

Rods were conclusivly proven to be nothing more than insects on film. Due to the figure-8 motion of an insects wings, couples with a shutter speed never higher than 1/60th per second, means a fast flying mosquito of fly, leaves a figure 8 wing trail

Insects, eh? Well I'll be d_mned! There's always a brink wall blocking my search for extra-terrestrial life.
