violence
A montage of film clips illustrating people’s anxiety about insects includes a brief sequence from STARSHIP TROOPERS in which a soldier is decapitated by a giant bug, resulting in a fleeting, distant blood spurt. The same montage features a sequence from the 2006 remake of THE WICKER MAN in which a man screams while bees are poured into a cage covering his head, without visible injury detail.
additional issues
There is brief undetailed footage of real dead animals, and of bugs hunting and killing insect prey. Archive footage shows jewels and chains being glued to live cockroaches to turn them into ‘living broaches’, as well as beetles being encouraged to fight each other. There is brief footage of people panicking at the sight of spiders and beetles, and an insectarium worker poses with bugs on his face and a pet tarantula in his mouth, all without visible harm to the creatures. It is mentioned in passing that the featured detectives have investigated “homicides [and] rapes”. Other issues include mild bad language (e.g. ‘piss’).
