Bugged Out and Loving It: 4 Insect Films and Finds Worth Buzzing About 🐞

You know what’s better than stepping on a LEGO barefoot? Watching a beetle build a dirt-ball bigger than its own head while sipping tea from the comfort of your couch or South African Safari Rover. Welcome to the marvelously misunderstood universe of bugs!  Enter a world where ants carry more than their weight in drama, fireflies throw glow-in-the-dark parties, and spiders are just trying to redecorate their webs, one unsuspecting fly at a time.

Let’s be honest. Insects often get a bad rap. They’re either squished, swatted, or side-eyed with suspicion. But give them a close-up camera and a decent soundtrack, and suddenly they’re nature’s tiny rockstars. These documentaries and curated bug finds won’t just change your perspective, they’ll make you want to grab a magnifying glass and issue an apology to every ant you’ve ever ignored.

So whether you’re here for the science, the spectacle, or the shiny beetles in a box, you’re in for a treat. No bug spray required. Just a little curiosity, and maybe a snack.
