Micro Safari: Journey to the Bugs is a National Geographic production starring Nigel Marven, which features him and his crew shrinking themselves to the size of an insect and exploring his back garden. It is a mixture of a documentary with a fictionalized account; within the fiction of the show, Marven uses his time narrating to the viewer about what is happening in front of him just like a voiceover narrator does in a regular documentary.

Plot
Nigel Marven and his two-man crew shrink themselves to a half an inch tall and explore the small world of bugs. Little do they know, these are like monsters at their miniaturised state. As they venture through the back yard, they encounter many species of bugs and even a frog the size of a dinosaur (from Nigel's point of view). After going through Spider Valley, they learn of the extreme side effects of being miniaturised, and must survive and make it back to their car in twenty-three hours, or remain small for the rest of their short lives. In the climax, it's all up to his assistant Laura to save him.
