Close-ups of the insect are shown as the seventeen year cycle underground are given; the film then shows the emergence, after seventeen years of the nymph, and the development of the adult. This film really brings inaccessible raw material to the classroom. The micro- cinematography is excellent. The close-ups of the evolution of this insect present a most vivid picture. The sound reproduc- tion of noise made by these insects is an outstanding feature of the film. The use of a study guide is necessary as this film leaves the student in an inquisitive state of mind. This film could be used most profitably in any science classes that study this insect and more rightly fits into classes in biology."

The fore and hind wings of the moth are hooked together and function as a single surface. The wings are made to move by muscles which cause changes in the shape of the body. A sphinx moth hovering at 60 beats per second. The wind stroke of a butterfly is slow and full. An ant lion makes a forced landing. The grasshopper takes off suddenly.

Its food is blood alone and it will live six months without food if it cannot get blood. An inspector is seen lifting up the bedding in a poor home, revealing the insects running over an old mattress. The bug's egg is shown in close-up. . . The young insect is seen struggling from the egg. . . A young bug is seen having its first meal. . , During the day it remains in hiding. . . At night it comes out in search of food and a close-up of the insect biting an arm is shown. . . To illustrate how the pest may interfere with sleep a child is shown tossing and turning in bed as she is bitten. . . Work- men are seen demolishing a slum, and it is pointed out that the insect may be spread on such an occasion via the workmen's clothing or in wood taken away by chil- dren for fuel. . . The commentator concludes the film, stating that in London four million people suffer from the pest, and similar conditions obtain in other large cities. No one is immune and the presence of the insect is not a disgrace but a misfortune. The film is completely successful in pre- senting its propaganda vividly and efficient- ly. Direction, photography and sound re- cording are very good."
