UFC for bug fans!
My kids and I love this show! You get to watch full on battles between fierce insects, arachnids and more. The camera work is fantastic. You see up close, beautiful shots of these creatures in action. While the supplemental computer graphics are not really that spectacular, the imagery they show certainly is fun to watch and provides helpful understanding of how their physiology works. And even though there is no doubt some forced meetings between these animals, the battles nevertheless are real. They do occur in nature and you get to see them from a front row seat in this show. Finally, I'm an entomologist and I've noticed that while at times the facts are stretched (to the limits), they still remain fairly accurate, with just alot of colorful language to make them sound scary. So the show is both educational and exciting. If you're a fan of bugs at all, watch this show or get this DVD.

Overall still a good documentary
This film is similar to a TV show I use to watch forgot the name were the experts describe the pros and cons of weapons and armor worn by ancient warriors. Then there is a face-off in one on one combat to see which warrior will prevail. If you want to invite some friends over and sit around the TV placing bets on which bug will prevail this DVD is for you. Size doesn't matter the bigger they are the harder they fall. Ants always win. But, the ant vs. bees was a nice match up.

Attention!!! Wrong discription!!!
In the description it says this is SIX episodes disc. Wrong!!!Instead there are only FIVE of them.They are all fun to watch, BUT our favorite one(the reason we bought it on DVD) is missing.I don't understand why they would record five and miss one, but it should be at least described right!!!

Their gonna were it out
I got this for my two grandsons ages 6 and 7. I saw two episodes on tv so I DVRed them. They would watch them over and over so I had to order the set when I found it. Just like before they love it. Even I know more about bugs now than I've ever wanted but even for me it's very entertaining and I would recommend this set to anybody with kids boys and girls.

Bugs!!
My son has worn this DVD out. He loves the way they describe the bugs and their weakness and strengths and show how they survive in the wild. Love that there are no commercials and can play the whole season straight through.
