An incredible 350,000 species of beetles live on our planet Earth, far more than any other group of insects. All these beetle species look different and have very different ways of life. Nevertheless, most of us know fewer beetles by name than we have fingers on one hand. „Fabulous Insects – Beetles“ presents colourful and bizarrely shaped species as well as the largest beetle in the world, in its habitat in the South American rainforest. The film also shows that the colourful diversity and beauty of beetles and their exciting natural history can be experienced right on our doorstep, in Central Europe. In aesthetic and never-before-seen macro slow-motion and time-lapse shots, the viewer experiences the world of beetles, which is more beautiful, colourful and surprising than many of us realise.
