Description:
In high school, whenever a teacher put on an educational film, it seemed it was just an excuse for him to take a day off from teaching. No one ever paid much attention to the movies themselves. This collection of educational films about the lives of insects and spiders, makes you wish you had paid more attention. All of the clips contain interesting information and are very well shot.
Who knew that there are more than 100,000 types of spiders, for example? Or understands exactly how bees relate to their queen and make honey? You won’t be disinterested to learn that only girl mosquitoes bite you or to find out exactly how a housefly lives its life. Like all titles from A2ZCDS, the films themselves are in great shape and you won’t be bugged by missing frames or scratchy footage.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Natural History DVD
I teach elementary level students with delays in developmental language. Visual assists such as this DVD set are a MUST HAVE as part of my supplemental curriculum.
Rating:  - Good compilation
I obtained this video for a college entomology course I teach for elementary education majors. It adequately shows many of the concepts I might want to include and each portion is about 10-15 minutes in length. However, the age most of the videos (most are black and white) might not be as technically interesting as more current video.
Rating: - Good Vintage Footage
I enjoyed this collection of educational films from the 1950s about the life of insects and spiders. It's all told from a very rasonable point of view way, so it never becomes confusing. I'm glad that they assume you don't have much of a background and explain things clearly. The images of the bugs are very well shot and I learned a lot from these films.
Rating: - Like The Discovery Channel
I'll admit it, I'm a fan of Animal Planet types shows. I'm sort of a geek when it comes to learning about the different types of critters. that live in the land and the sea.
I watch Discovery Channell all the time and look around for new documentaries. This one did not disappoint. The footage is older than I expected, but seriously, the life of bugs and spiders has not really changed that much over the years.
There were a whole bunch of science geek movies - the best one is about spiders and their life cycle - with enough naration to explain what was going on.
I liked the sheer amount of footage on here.
Rating: - Fascinating
With this DVD you get what you would expect. This is a collection of vintage bug footage.
I really, really liked it.
It made me realize that there is a whole universe at our feet that we rarely pay attention to - unless it is to squash a spider.
The films give you a ton of information about insects - and let you know why they help, rather than hurt our environment.
It's a good disk.
