On the DVD, watch the "Making of..." and the interviews in its Special Features. Those give a deeper perspective into why and how the writers chose to show two individual insects for the full progression, from hatching egg to adulthood. Lots more fascinating insects, amphibians and reptiles also, of course! Some reviewers had commented here that a broader, more documentary style would have suited their tastes better, but this show was aimed to engage a variety of viewers, preschoolers to mature adults. Kids engage with a personalized story-line better than with just a general documentary not focusing on particular creatures. Photography is wonderful! Dame Judi Dench provides her usual skilled performance as its narrator. Worth watching!
Bugs!

Bugs! was made for families - made for IMAX but it's fine viewed in 2D as well
