Creepy Crawlies: You may live in a city, but there is a hidden world
of animals right at our feet - buzzing bees, crawling ants and creeping
critters in every direction. Did you know that for every person living in
Paris, there are many millions of insects living here too? Come join Matt Black
for a close-up investigation of these tiny and wonderful creatures that are all
around us. We'll learn to tell the difference between insects, spiders, and
"something else's" and then go see what real bugs we can find!
