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.

Not even a documentary. A comedy, drama, art-house film that features some of the best visual storytelling I’ve ever seen.
Super cool, nature will always be fascinating and teach you something. Evolution is incredibly bizarre. Quirky.
Just great a lot of close up footage of very tiny things. Great imagery and an interesting watch.
This was an absolute masterpiece that introduced us into the amazing world of insects. Nowadays looks a bit dated but excellent nevertheless
Very informative, well done documentary.
Miracle of the small size lives Inde your feets. This is so incredible. Watch this in 4K, again and again.
Bugs. So many bugs. It feels like Baraka for the entomology crowd, but when the rain starts, scale becomes a very interesting question.
I like sleeping to nature documentaries but the bugs were a little too intrusive for that. Was really really interesting though.
