Actiongeladene, oft kriegsähnliche Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Vertretern des Insektenreichs, die entweder in einem tödlichen K.O. oder einem massiven Massaker enden. Ameisen, Wespen, Tausendfüßer, Skorpione, Spinnen (die in fast jedem Teil vertreten sind) und natürlich viele andere Kreaturen, die unter dem faszinierenden Mikroskop der Kamera als die größten Raubtiere dargestellt werden. Als Züchter von Hühnern bedauere ich nur, dass gerade Spinnen in den Kämpfen am meisten "versagen", sei es gegen Ameisen, Wespen oder Tausendfüßer. Die Naturmutter ist einfach erbarmungslos. In ihrer Welt herrscht eine einzige Regel: Fressen oder gefressen werden!

Monster Bug Wars! cannot hide that it is intended for the market of commercial television and the film lacks public sobriety and scientific objectivity. It wants to entertain, to attract attention, and sometimes it wants to shock. It is typical to use expressions and comparisons that are true for the human world, sometimes even with humorous aids such as a bugle that gathers ants for war against the enemy. But despite all this, I am giving this film the highest number of stars in the end because it represents an attractive trip into the world of miniature predators, it features top-notch cameras, and despite the above, it can convey a lot of interesting information. In addition, the presentation is truly popular, so the circle of interested viewers does not have to be limited to entomology enthusiasts. The series does not only deal with the insect kingdom, as the title may suggest, but with all miniature creatures belonging to the realm of invertebrates. The viewer is a witness to battles between spiders, scorpions, ants, and other predators of the microcosm. Overall impression: 90%.
