Actor Dominic Monaghan's resume includes starring roles in ``Lost'' and the movie trilogy ``The Lord of the Rings.'' Such acting work could help prepare Monaghan for this series, which features him traveling around the world in search of the biggest, baddest and weirdest creatures on the planet. Each episode details the actor's action-packed quest, which often brings him to some of the most remote corners of the globe, to locate and get close to rare and life-threatening insects. Whether it's searching for flesh-slicing army ants in Ecuador or a giant venomous centipede in the caves of Venezuela, Monaghan is not afraid to get down and dirty with the creatures he encounters.
