Anyone see this? I don't normally take to watching many of these programs (Planet Earth aside) but the camera work in this kept me hooked throughout and a good hours worth of learning about how swarms operate!

Oh my, those African villagers sure didn't **** about when it came to getting their own back on the wee birdies.

I thought the crabs were quite cute, raising their claws as the car comes like "hey.....hey.....HEY!" and then *squish* ^_^

The bee guy at the end was quite cool too.
