I saw this video to teach citizen volunteers about the aquatic invertebrates that we use to monitor stream quality, before actually going to a stream to search for these creatures. It really got them excited about "bugs" (which can be challenging)! As an entomologist, I was very pleased with the quality of the footage and accuracy of the information. I even learned a few new things! Even though the intended audience is anglers, this video is suitable for general naturalist education, too, for all ages.

The images in this video are not only fascinating, the knowledge of the behavior of common "trout food" items to be gained from studying the film is invaluable to the fisherman and fly-tier. No need to describe the video to you, just check out the free sample video on the website. Check it out!

This review is from: Bugs of the Underworld DVD (Misc.)

After reading the Cutter's "Fish Food" I purchased their Bugs of the Underworld DVD.
WOW!! The whole thing is filmed in natural settings - mostly from underwater. Mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, midges and damsel fly life cycles are filmed in their entirety. With very tight and crisp focus you watch their movements and behavior. Filming, editing, narration and music is of highest professional quality (according to the cover David Attenborough gave it a rave review). The most dramatic footage is of the many insects swimming to the surface, emerging through the water and flying away - from an underwater point of view. Invaluable tool for fly tiers and fisherman trying to imitate aquatic insects.
Not only informative but entertaining. My kids have watched it to the point of memorizing the script. My only complaint is that I wish I had been aware of the video 2 years ago when it came out.
