This appears to be longer and have more video than what I have seen in broadcast versions. Which is fine. But for our kids it made it extra long. Quality isn't really great for BluRay, but better than DVD and the price was right when I bought it. If you like the broadcast version, just be aware that this is significantly longer. This can be good and bad.

"The World's Biggest and Baddest Bugs" not only showcases big bugs, but also other bugs like ants, spiders, and bees. It runs about 87 minutes, so it is a long look at bugs. I thought it was going to be all about bugs, but the entomologist, Ruud Kleinpaste, sidetracks into other related subjects like insect oxygen and praying mantis kung fu which are interesting and sumo wrestling which is less interesting. There are closeups of some insects, which I like. What I really wanted was more close-ups.

Don't feel like you have to watch the whole video. We're just looking at bugs here. I personally suggest that you just look at the bugs you want to examine.

Here's a list of some of the big bugs covered by Mr. Kleinpaste.

Giant Cockroach

Helicopter Damselfly

Praying Mantis

Weta

Centipede

Leaf Insect

Stick Insect

Goliath Spider

Hercules Beetle

Other bugs include the following.

Stinkbug

Bombardier Beetle

Army Ants

Bullet Ant

Bark Scorpion

Black Widow Spider

Funnel-Web Spider

Mosquitoes

Africanized Honey Bees (Killer-Bees)

Guess how many times Mr. Kleinpaste gets stung by the bees?

the star of this movie is nutty. he goes a little overboard to prove a point. so some of his gags are not that great.

The World's Biggest and Baddest Bugs [Blu-ray] Well the fellow in this Blu-ray is to bugs what Steve Irwin was to Crocodiles. Quite entertaining and informative. And a great value.
