Impeccably narrated by Dame Judi Dench, this fascinating 40-minute full-dome movie draws you close into the intimate world of insects. Viewers are invited to see how the jungle in Borneo looks from an insect's vantage point, and to "...imagine a place where raindrops fall like cannon balls and a blade of grass soars like a skyscraper..." * Although you'll see many amazing close-ups, such as male rhinoceros beetles battling over a female and a Leopard Gecko stalking his prey, the movie primarily chronicles the lives of Papilio, a butterfly, and Hierodula, a praying mantis, from hatching through adulthood, and their eventual dramatic encounter in the rainforest. Recommended for children age 8 and up (***SPOILER ALERT*** Please be aware that the movie closely parallels real life in the jungle and the ending is not a happy one for all concerned; the content might be scary or difficult for younger viewers.)
