The Greatest TV Shows About Insects

There's something about insects that make them look beautiful when viewed up close in 4K on your TV. But if you saw that very same insect was on the wall behind your TV, you'd probably scream and try to smush it. But once that was taken care of you'd go right back to watching your insect TV show and having a great time. 

Since the beginning of television, there's been no shortage of colorful and unique TV insects that have been providing us with entertainment for decades. Whether they're shows for kids, adults, or everyone in between, there's a show about insects that appeals to everyone. There's something about those antennae, or all the legs and fancy colors, that makes insectoid and anthropomorphic bug characters appealing even to folks who would not willingly welcome actual bugs into their home.

The series on this list, all of which feature an insect or arthropod of one kind or another as the star - from lazy bugs to hard-working ants - are all here to stoke our love of the creepy crawly world, while reminding us exactly why it's nice to view these things from afar.
