Insect Defense

Perfect nature video for children of all ages
I bought all three Nature Flix Production DVD's including Insect Defense for my son and daughter, ages 3.5 and 1.5. The format is geared towards young open minds willing to be captivated by amazing images and clear and concise narration. Each video has a clear theme and explains concepts in a simple, straightforward manner making it very palatable to my 3 year old. He has been watching these videos since he was a toddler engaged by the vivid imagery and is now enjoying them for the interesting knowledge he's gained. I was having trouble finding nature videos for kids that didn't mask the inherent entertainment value of nature itself with song and dance and cartoon characters. I never feel guilty playing these videos for my children because they are truly learning about the world around them in an intelligent way. This series is a refreshing take on nature education for children and one that even we adults can enjoy and learn from.

Science Teacher Rating
Good for introducing students to some of the struggles and defenses organisms have to survive although the number of species shown seemed to be limited to butterflies, caterpillars would like to have seen more beetles and tropical insects.
