BBC Alien Empire - Metropolis (1996)
I recently managed to find on the Internet Archive some VHS transfers for the documentary series that got me obsessed with insects in the first place, Alien Empire, and figured I should share with you all a scene that I’ve been predisposed from childhood to tear up to about a moth laying her eggs.
I’m going to put up another clip from Alien Empire, to share with you all some pure bug beauty. I plan on putting up some more clips soon!
Alien Empire but it’s perfectly cut.
Sometimes, the strange difficulties of life imposed on insects that Alien Empire chronicled made 6-year-old me really sad, and than other times I found them just straight-up frigging ridiculous.
Case in point: this scene involving how easy it was for littered beer bottles to almost derail the mating rituals of an entire type of beetle because the males keep mistaking the trash for supremely sexy females.
Seriously, I cannot imagine a series that made me want to go outside and turn over the first rock I could find and just marvel at the things under it more than this show did.
Also, I desperately want to go to wherever this exhibition is, if it’s even still around.
Think I’ll do another one of these again; it’s been a while since I’ve shown a clip from this series...
This was the best introduction to this series I could’ve had as a kid - all of these different bodies, this different forms, showcased in all sorts of ways that emphasized their strangeness and their beauty.
