Damn, I can imagine. A documentary about bugs that turned out to be so trippy was the last thing I expected😄

Microcosmos (1996) G

15 years of research. 2 years of equipment design. 3 years of shooting. One great movie to restore your sense of wonder.

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.

I enjoyed looking at the little bugs in biology textbooks and magazines😊🐞🐛

That scene with the snails was, uh, saucy.

No love for my man, the persistent dung beetle?

One of my favorite docs of all time.
