Synopsis

A documentary of insect life in meadows and ponds, using incredible close-ups, slow motion, and time-lapse photography. It includes bees collecting nectar, ladybugs eating mites, snails mating, spiders wrapping their catch, a scarab beetle relentlessly pushing its ball of dung uphill, endless lines of caterpillars, an underwater spider creating an air bubble to live in, and a mosquito hatching.

    his/her review : I agree with the other reviews - this is a jewel of a movie. Best seen on a very big screen to get the full impact of those wonderful details of the microscopic life at our feet. Superb - not to be missed
