Super powers exist. Right here on Earth. And they are beneath our feet. They include beetles that shoot chemical fire and lift enormous weights; scorpions that glow in the dark with astonishing crushing powers; spiders that can make themselves virtually invisible and hypnotise their prey; even a bug that can transform itself into another creature entirely. Prepare to be amazed in this 3D giant screen adventure exploring the hidden world of the super-powered bugs.

Film Facts

A male Goliath Beetle can support several 100 times its own body weight- the equivalent of humans lifting 5 elephants! The Ogre Faced spider has enormous eyes that are 10,000 times more sensitive than ours. The Red Claw Scorpion can crush the equivalent of a seven tonne truck with its pincers.
