We Asked a Bug Expert to Fact-Check 'Alien: Earth'
""It's very, very good," praises Dr. Sward. "I'm totally hooked.""
""The thing that's stood out me with Alien: Earth is that they're including far more entomological aspects, compared to the rest of the franchise," she says. "They're Frankensteining insects, combining different insects together.""
"Dr. Sward tells me that Alien: Earth "makes [her] entomological heart sing.""
Dr. Grace Sward is an entomologist with a PhD from Ohio State University and creates science content on TikTok as @entomosfunfacts. Alien: Earth is set in a near future of corporate dominance and commonplace artificial beings. An expedition sponsored by Weyland-Yutani collects several unknown extraterrestrial species, including a Xenomorph, and a containment ship crash in densely populated Vietnam turns first contact into a deadly outbreak. The series integrates entomological realism: alien behaviors mirror insect biology, designs combine traits from multiple insect species, and many scenes reflect laboratory practices, pest management, and containment challenges.
