Rudolf Hendrik Kleinpaste (born 23 April 1952), generally known as Ruud Kleinpaste, is a Dutch-New Zealand naturalist and host of the Animal Planet series Buggin' with Ruud.

Born in Djakarta, Indonesia, Kleinpaste was educated in The Netherlands, and then studied plant sciences at Wageningen University, eventually earning a degree in silviculture.

At the age of 20, he became interested in entomology.

1990

This line of work has led to television work inside and outside New Zealand, which has brought further fame for him and his environmental causes.
