 This disc contains the following 24:00 minute programs: - Spiders: Join John Acorn for a tour of tarantulas, black widows, jumping spiders, wolf spiders, orb weavers and more.
- Dragonflies: They're fast, they're colorful, and they're everywhere. We look at dragonflies and damselflies, from egg to larva to adults.
- House Bugs: Do you have creepy spider webs in your basement? Silverfish in your dishes? The Nature Nut investigates these creepy, harmful and harmless house bugs.
- Giant Beetles: There are more species of beetles on this planet than any other living thing. Join Acorn in the most heavily beetle populated site - the forests of Costa Rica. From beetles that can bore through wood to golden tortoise beetles, to the bearded weevil that uses its gigantic nose as a weapon - you will see it all here!
