The series tells the story of the unsolved heist of $50,000 worth of rare live insects from the Philadelphia Insectarium & Butterfly Pavilion, the first bug zoo in the United States.

It was the biggest insect heist on record, with many of the missing bugs rare, large, or deadly, including scorpions, tarantulas, rhinoceros cockroaches, and a six-eyed sand spider.
