The Monster from Green Hell (1957)

How bad is it? It's a minor big bug movie, of which there are dozens.
Should you see it? If you're binge watching giant bug movies.

Radiation from a botched space probe causes giant wasps that look like beetles to me. There's  a safari through a lot of back lots and stock footage (reportedly from 1939's "Stanley and Livingston") and some stop-motion animation that doesn't work well. The final reel is in color in some prints. It's interesting to me mostly as a change from Bert I. Gordon's similar films.
