Dom is actually eating beetle grubs that had been roasted in a leaf there. Yummy…

A professor from Drexel University who has gone to Ecuador with Dom to shoot his nature show with him there has uploaded a couple of pictures and there’s an article about the kind of things they saw in Ecuador. I am only going to post the bits about Dom, but the whole article is really interesting. Go and read it here: http://www.drexel.edu/coas/news/archive/sean-of-the-jungle/

An animal behaviorist in Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences, Sean was recently recruited to Ecuador to serve as an expert consultant on an episode of a new television series. The series follows “LOST” and “Lord of the Rings” actor Dominic Monaghan (or “Dom,” as Sean now calls him) as he tours the globe in search of unique insects and arthropods.

“Dom was a great choice for the show,” says Sean, “because he actually is really interested in this stuff. And he’s very knowledgeable; there was a lot that he knew about the things that we found in the forest. I was really impressed.”

For six days in late November and early December, the crew filmed Dom’s journey with Sean through Ecuador, beginning in the city of Quito, moving east to the frontier town of Coca, and ending at a remote rainforest field station by way of the long, winding Tiputini River.

Army ants were the primary focus of the expedition: their massive swarm raids and bivouacs (literally a living nest composed of hundreds of thousands of interlocking ant bodies), and their relationships with rainforest animals. Along the way, however, the crew made time to film other jungle legends, including a scene with the feared—and frighteningly common—Brazilian wandering spider, believed to be the most poisonous species of spider on Earth.

The new series with Monaghan is a collaboration between Cream Productions of Toronto and BBC America.

The new series with Dominic Monaghan is slated to appear on BBC America in September of 2012.

There are some amazing pictures and videos of the ants and spiders and other things they saw in Ecuador. Check them out here: http://www.drexel.edu/coas/news/archive/sean-of-the-jungle/
