New Zealand-based Dutch born entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste embarks on an entomological odyssey around the globe in search of the ultimate biggest and "baddest" creepy crawlies.

Along the way Ruud explains exactly what makes the "stars" of the show so amazing, and his unbridled enthusiasm for some of the world?s most detested creatures will ensure that even the arachnophobics will see their nemeses in a new light!

Leave the fly swatter and the bug spray in the closet -- they won't help you. They won't help host Ruud Kleinpaste either. As an entomologist, he relishes contact with dangerous and deadly insects. This new special has him explaining about different bugs, and allowing more than 5,000 killer bees to hang out on his body.

Entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste will do almost anything in order to demonstrate his love for insects, including covering himself with killer bees, enduring bullet ant stings, and getting up close and personal with a goliath bird-eating spider.
