  A very straight forward, beautiful piece about the world of the insect, and how big their world is, though we view it as so very small. Directors Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou got up close and personal with the world of the ant colony, ladybug, dung beetle, and dragonfly. Only briefly narrated and accompanied by a great soundtrack of smooth classical music, this film only tries to show how insects view the world and the processes of said world. It drags at times, but it is truly engrossing if you see the world with a philosophical view or just want to know more about the world around you. It's short, sweet, and educational if you don't know much about insects or anything nature related.

  As exhilarating as anything ever seen on <i>Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom</i> and it's all taking place right in your own back yard.

  Beautifully filmed, it must have been painstaking to film! Its rather good but it will help if you are interested in insects as there is no dialogue/Story, just insects! Slow and boring for some, mesmerising for others. Worth checking out!

  Very entertaining look at the insect world. Call it March of the Praying Mantises. Little conversation. Just observation. It works nonetheless.

  11/29/06: Weird bug movie. Ms Roberts showed it randomly in class one day. What can I say?

  Really cool considering I can't stay interested with National Geographic.

  No plot, no script, no humans but lots of character. In essence this film is nothing more than short films of insects doing what they do. The photography is absolutely incredible too - with highlights being a water-spider collecting air, and a dung beetle that never gives up. The incidental music is intrusive in places and tries to make the images more movie-like instead of letting them speak for themselves - saying that, it could also do with a bit more narration...if that makes sense. Worth seeing.

  Fascinating doc on bugs that has just as fascinating photography.
