Along these lines (of the experimental in the scientific *and* formal sense) are Lucien Bull's studies of the flight of dragon flies, mosquitos, and house flies, as well as Jean Painlevé's "Les Assassins d'eau douce" (1946), which prominently features dragon fly larvae.
I also believe Hans Richter also made a film called "The Moth" which Painlevé screened at one of his scientific film congresses in the 30s and 40s...
