Earth is really the planet of the insects. This series shows insect behaviour and society.
This first program in the series reveals the intricate micro-architecture of insects-from shimmering beetles to iridescent butterflies.
Insects exist to make more insects. This 2nd program in the series explores the lengths to which an insect will go to attract a mate and reproduce.
To eat,and not get eaten: this third program in the series looks at the extraordinary ways that insects play the game of survival.
Insects are everywhere: they thrive in the bleakest deserts,on the slopes of active volcanoes and even on the surface of the ocean.
The complex and ingenious structures devised, built and maintained by social insects.
In this final programme of the series the battle lines are drawn: insects - friends or foe?
