#SteveReviews: Little Matters – Insects

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to get up close and personal with the tiniest denizens of the animal kingdom, Little Matters: Insects on Netflix is your passport to a world of minuscule marvels and creepy-crawly capers. This documentary film is a bug enthusiast’s dream come true, and even if you’re not a fan of our multi-legged friends, this show might just make you appreciate the little critters that rule the Earth beneath our feet. The cinematography in Little Matters: Insects is so crisp and vivid that you’ll feel like you’re right there with the ants, butterflies, and beetles, experiencing their world from a bug’s-eye view. This clarity of macro filmography can’t have been easy, as a number of the insects are extremely fast moving – so bravo to those involved with the hard task of capturing all the footage used within. An ant is a lot harder to photograph and film than an elephant for example, something I can speak of from experience.

You’d probably be surprised how intense the lives of these little critters can be! From epic battles between rival beetles to the cutthroat world of courtship (yes, you read that right), the insect realm is packed with tension, rivalry, and romance. Little Matters: Insects gives you a front-row seat to the survival of the fittest, with twists and turns that rival the best soap operas. Of course, no show would be complete without its stars, and these are some of the most underrated celebrities on Earth. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the secret lives of these little beings that usually go unnoticed in our daily hustle and bustle. Don’t worry, it’s not all just bug drama and pretty visuals. Little Matters: Insects manages to sneak in some fascinating facts and insights about the insect world. You’ll learn about their incredible adaptability, their vital roles in ecosystems. Who knew bugs could be so smart and resourceful? You just have to view them with the right lens, and you realise they’re not as boring as you once thought.

So, is Little Matters: Insects worth adding to your Netflix queue? Absolutely! Whether you’re a bug enthusiast, a casual viewer, or even someone with a slight aversion to our many-legged friends, this show will open your eyes to the captivating world of insects. With stunning visuals, engaging storytelling, and a dash of humor, it’s a quick film that’ll have you buzzing with excitement. Just remember, the next time you see an ant or a stag beetle, you might find yourself giving it a standing ovation.
