It's a shame though that the ladybug's movements are so... unnatural. Having done a buttload of macro photos this past summer it's too noticeable for me.
Where did LadyBug go?
I scared her away from eating my aphids!
This was back in 2003... on DirectX 9
What this video is basically saying to me is "We still have not reached the full potential that DirectX 9 offered, but buy our new videocard anyways!".
To be fair, that demo also ran at complete dogshit speeds on a 9800 Pro at the time with stuff like DoF turned up, modern cards handle this very easily.
