This is due to the refractive properties of water. Notice how the rain orbs look like they are moving upward. Some are obviously insects, but others are much harder to tell. Cropped images of insects captured with a still camera. Insects are small and fast and easily missed, especially in the dark. Many times they are flying and thus a moving orb is created. These orbs are usually brighter due to the higher density of insects compared to dust. Some insect orbs are very evidently insects but others are harder to pick out. Examples of commonly captured dust particles but called “orbs”. Some have been borrowed from other websites as well. Below are examples of different types of orbs that were created by doing simple experiments to recreate what many people are capturing and calling orbs. When the flash from a camera catches these particles just right, the light reflects back out of focus and creates the ball of light that we see. Things like dead skin cells, animal dander, and textile particles are suspended in the air. There are microscopic things floating in the air all the time, we just can’t see them. The truth of the matter is, 99.9% of all orb pictures can be explained as dust, insects, mold spores, or pollen.
