“Literal forests” of life in the grass beneath us are explored via a microscopic camera in this instructive short. We see how an ant drinks from a dewdrop without bursting it and how crickets court (hint: it’s noisy).

The Woodard brothers won an Academy Award® for this documentary short illustrating the complex world of bees who’ve found “a hollow tree in which to build a city,” as Gayne Whitman’s narration puts it.
