Microcosmos the movie

[AxolotlsAreCoolToo]

Hey every just thought id share this. If your into insects and macro film this is a must see, for sure ahead of its time.

Microcosmos is a 1996 documentary film by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou and produced by Jacques Perrin. Set to the music of Bruno Coulais, this film is primarily a record of detailed interactions between insects and other small invertebrates.

the best part is there is no dumb narrator to ruin the atmosphere

The caterpillar traffic scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The music is so dramatic for it haha.
