| | |  | | |  There are over 350,000 types of beetles identified by scientists. Revered by the ancient Egyptians as well as other cultures, beetles have a unique role on the planet as the recycling agents for decaying matter. In this program, Dr. Art demonstrates how to make a beetle habitat by setting up a colony of meal worms (the larval form of darkling beetles), allowing students to watch them grow and observe the life cycle. Part of the Bug City Video Series, an engaging series created to help kids learn about insects and arachnids. Includes a Teacher's Guide. | " ... Super (natural) close-up footage of bugs in the wild, great believe-it-or-not bug trivia, and a solid introduction to the basics of insect biology make Bug City an entertaining and informative choice for both public and curriculum collections. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice." - Video Librarian
"The programs offer enlightening commentary, beautiful close-ups, and interesting asides about ants, beetles, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and spiders. The well-written script and spectacular footage illustrating habitats, physical attributes, reproductive stages, protective mechanisms, and adaptive behaviors should prove to be intrinsically captivating." - Booklist
