Buggin’ out

NZ entomologist, writer, broadcaster and educator, Ruud Kleinpaste, is a hit in the US as the host of Animal Planet’s Buggin’ With Ruud. “In Buggin’ With Ruud, the energetic, fearless Kleinpaste subjects himself to no small amount of indignities to show the amazing things that bugs can do – from crawling into a freezer (with a temperature probe ‘up his bum’) to show how NZ crickets survive the winter, to being locked into a hyperbaric chamber to make a point about dragonflies and oxygen.”
