from 1996…

was about insects. Real insects. Had a dramatic background score. Snail sex. Caterpillar death. Was in the theaters in the fall of '96 I believe.

I know it had a one word title, but I forget what the title was.

Thank you!

I think you’re looking for [Microcosmos](http://www.miramax.com/microcosmos/). I have it on VHS at home. For some wierd reason, it isn’t listed at the IMDB.
