The birds and the bees - without birds but with fish. A compilation of 14 short films dramatizing the sex life and mating habits of eight home and garden denizens (bee, fly, mantis, snail, worm, dragonfly, firefly, and spider) and five sea creatures (whale, starfish, limpet, anglerfish, and barnacle).
