BUGS THAT RULE THE WORLD is an exploration of the planet’s most populous – yet most underappreciated – creatures: insects. Through the eyes of dedicated scientists and enthusiasts, this series uncovers the extraordinary world of bugs, revealing their ingenious adaptations, strange behaviors, and why they truly “rule the world.” From essential pollinators like bees and butterflies to the unseen work of nature’s cleanup crews, insects are vital to life on Earth. Using macro cinematography, the series captures their vibrant colors, complex anatomy, and fascinating behaviors - from intricate mating dances to dramatic life cycles. With a growing global insect crisis, BUGS THAT RULE THE WORLD highlights the critical roles bugs play in our ecosystems and warns of the dire consequences of their decline. This captivating journey shows that while insects are all around us, we still have so much to learn about our tiny, powerful fellow Earthlings.

They are home to epic migrations and a diversity of wildlife, where, for much of the route, nature’s inhabitants are only constrained by the challenges of the terrain and the changing seasons.

The film explores 399’s life through those closest to her, including world-renowned nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen, activist Jane Goodall, grizzly biologist Dr. Chris Servheen, NPS park rangers, cattle ranchers, and even the man who survived an attack by 399 and her cubs. 399: QUEEN OF THE TETONS uses beautiful wildlife footage, a 15 year achive of photographs, viral video and original footage to examine an urgent and contentious debate over the future of an iconic American species through the life of one exceptional mama bear.
