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. O... read more
As exhilarating as anything ever seen on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom 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!

Pretty amzing footage throughout this doc. The snail footage alone is worth the watch. Clever usage of music and editing with no voice-over used at all. The bugs tell their own story.

fascinating and gorgeous
Ao revelar o microscópico universo que nos cerca, este maravilhoso documentário faz com que, paradoxalmente, o espectador se sinta pequeno.
Astonishingly up-close and personal look at an infinitesimal world as alien as anything captured by the Mars rovers… a world of strange fascination and unexpected beauty. Full Review
The material presented here is so compelling and so true to the natural processes it records that it's beside the point to wonder if the filmmakers sped them up. Full Review
Macro-sucked.
