Today I watched a documentary called “Microcosmo,”
about insects. It is officially rated G,
for general audience. I do not agree, as
it has some show of the insect reproduction system, and in my opinion should be
rated PG, for parental guidance. It has
very little speech and is an almost a silent documentary. 3 things that I learned are the
following. 1. Insects can seek refuge in
flowers as they close up at night. 2. How spiders wrap up their prey in a mummy
like wrapping. 3. How bees see the world
in ultraviolet colors, with their compound eyes. Something I really loved is, with the help of
the cameras, how they put things that we could never see, or notice, in real
life, into such vividness, you felt like you were an insect bystander. Some of this amazing footage includes: a
sundew eating an insect, a flower closing for the night, and an insect hatching
out of its egg. If I could change
anything, I would give more identification to everything, as we have to guess
the insects, and sometimes didn’t have the chance.
