Blame The Girls Mosquitoes are some of the peskiest bugs around – but did you know that it is only the female that bites you? On this 2-DVD set you will learn why mosquito girls suck your blood and why you have probably never been bothered by a mosquito boy!

Product 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.

This review is from: Natural History: Insects And Arachnids (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like The Discovery Channel, May 3, 2006
By 
Bart (Montpellier, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural History: Insects And Arachnids (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, April 25, 2006
This review is from: Natural History: Insects And Arachnids (DVD)
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.
