Ruud Kleinpaste

Always happy to share his face with a weta, entomologist and “Bug Man” Ruud Kleinpaste is one of the insect world’s best friends. After moving to New Zealand from Holland in 1978, his work with MAF created a media profile for him which led to a long-running radio show, and a television career that has seen Buggin’ with Ruud, his show for American cable network Animal Planet, screened in more than 60 countries.

Bugs are fabulously adapted to their environment; over millions of years they’ve evolved to become the fantastic creatures they are. We have an obligation to look after them and every animal on the planet – for science, technology and medicine and for the stability of the Earth’s interconnected ecosystems.
