Profiling the work of Rick West, one of the world's leading authorities on tarantulas. (VCR Plus+ 457662)

Is this a new special, or a repeat of the special done on him about a year ago?

I was thinking the same thing when I watched it.

But, there was some very good footage of certain species. My favorite part has to be the H. mac taking free flight from a tree branch. Very cool! ;P

I'm thinking new since the other one was an hour long rather than just 30 min but I don't know for sure.
