Music composed for the documentary film series (x13): Buggin' with Ruud Buggin' With Ruud is a New Zealand wildlife series in which entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste uncovers little-known secrets about the insect world and debugs myths about multi-legged creepy-crawly species. The series was originally broadcast in the USA on Animal Planet. There are 13 hour-long episodes in the series. Synopsis: Whether you love or loathe bugs, or have the urge to squish them on sight, the adventures of Animal Planet's quirky entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste offers you a journey into the world of insects. Buggin' with Ruud uncovers little-known secrets about the insect world and debugs myths about multi-legged creepy-crawly species. The New Zealand-based bug specialist, author, educator, researcher, musician and radio and television host, better known as 'The Bug Man', shares his bug enthusiasm, aiming to dispel the bad reputation that insects have. Ruud’s travels throughout the series take him everywhere on a global arthropod adventure: he crosses paths with one of nature’s deadliest hunters, the Sydney funnel web spider; in Hawaii, Ruud goes head to head with the evolutionary marvel, the carnivorous caterpillar; Ruud journeys through an incredible insect minefield in Madagascar and finds the hissing cockroaches’ home away from home.
