I advise film and television productions on insects and other arthropods, so the creatures on screen are the right species and behave the way they should. I am based in Wales and work remotely or on set, on productions in the UK and internationally.
What I offer
- Script and storyboard review for scenes involving insects or other arthropods.
- On-set advice on species choice, behaviour, and appearance.
- Guidance on handling live arthropods safely on set.
- Sourcing regionally accurate live insects, with the permits that go with them.
- Reference imagery for actors, art departments, and animators.
- Notes for visual effects and animation teams.
- Fact-checking insect and arthropod references in dialogue.
Taxa covered: insects, spiders and other arachnids, and terrestrial arthropods generally, including their identification, behaviour, and appearance.
Selected credits
- House of Cards (2013 to 2016). Worked with director Jodie Foster on CGI-free insect scenes, including the spider sequence with Kevin Spacey.
- Charm City Kings (2020). Sourced a Baltimore-specific caterpillar for the production.
I have worked with directors, producers, and special effects teams since 2013. IMDb: Armando Rosario-Lebron.
