Would You Like to Make a Living Photographing or Filming Insects?

Through the URL below, you can view a video collection featuring bugs and insects in amazing close up, selected by insect expert and TV presenter George McGavin, with Goliath spiders, killer centipedes, ants and moths. By no means everyone’s favourite animals bugs — encompassing true bugs and other creepy crawlies — hold a special place in George’s heart and led him to an academic career at Oxford University. Having worked as scientific advisor on Attenborough’s “Life in the Undergrowth,” George became a presenter in his own right. He is now loved and admired for his passionate engagement with invertebrates, whether in the jungles of Bhutan or the back gardens of One Show viewers in England.

The Astonishing Wildflowers of Texas

Through the depths of winter in Buffalo (NY) I tend to watch a lot of wildlife documentaries, and one that I saved on the DVR a couple of years ago does tend to make a regular appearance.

‘Wildflowers: Seeds of History’ is the story of Lady Bird Johnson’s flower conservation work in Texas, and some of the KLRU footage is wonderful.

You can view the whole episode (58 minutes) online, at: http://www.klru.org/episode/wildflowers-seeds-of-history/wildflowers-seeds-of-history/

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center websits is at: http://www.wildflower.org/

uswildflowers.com provides a page of links for the state at: http://uswildflowers.com/stateref.php?State=TX
