Micro Monsters with David Attenborough
"Right beneath our feet is a secret world of disguise and espionage, social networking and courtship, rape and pillage, parenthood and relationships. The terrestrial arthropods - the bugs - are the most dominant animals on our planet. They outnumber us in their hundreds of billions and have survived for 500 million years. They have outlived every catastrophe Earth has thrown at them, seen the dinosaurs come and go and even witnessed our own arrival. They are so intrinsic to the natural world that without them we would struggle to exist. Sir David Attenborough will take you deep into the macroscopic world of bugs that deeply fascinates him. He will uncover their marvellous adaptability from the primitive evolutionary design of the millipede through to the graceful apex predators that exist today. We will descend into the watery depths to witness aquatic battles, explore intricate spider webs and get closer than ever before to the fangs and claws that create this fascinating world."
David
Attenborough employs the latest technologies to explore the violence,
rivalries and deadly weaponry existing within the world of bugs. This
first episode examines the survival tactics of its terrifying residents
including killer ants, trap-setting spiders and beetles with the ability
to shoot boiling chemicals at their enemies.

The
broadcaster continues his bug-eyed view of the world of
creepy-crawlies, revealing how predators defuse the defences of their
prey. Highlights include the cockroach wasp, busy preparing a tasty -
and very live - treat for its young, the whirligig beetle, which employs
a water-based radar system, and the jumping Portia spider, which feeds
on other arachnids.

It's
sexy time with the arthropods! This week David Attenborough takes a
look at the courtship rituals of the creatures beneath our feet. But
lovebugs won't want to take tips from these bugs. The male Chilean rose
tarantula, for instance, weaves a silk mat; deposits sperm on it, then
sucks that sperm into a finger-like appendage near his mouth before he
looks for a mate. Then there's the gruesome, but surprisingly effective,
coupling of praying mantis. The cinematography is as amazing as ever,
catching the mating battles of tramp ants and providing luminescent
footage of the courtship dance of Tanzanian red claw scorpions.

A
close-up view of sex, bug-style, as David Attenborough talks viewers
through the different ways in which creepy-crawlies reproduce. Size
matters for the minuscule male orb spider, creepily sneaking up on its
intended and trying to mate without her noticing, while there's no rest
for the lothario-like butterfly, which has plenty of notches on its
proverbial bedpost. However, the harvestman spider has no use for sex at
all, and reproduces by cloning itself.

 5) Family
While
most of the series has focused on conflict, this episode is all about
co-operation. The suitably named social spiders spin one enormous, 30m
web for the whole colony, a queen bee rules her hive with a strict
hierarchy and some green ants show great team spirit to help build a
nest together. There are no broken societies here. David Attenborough
shifts the focus to bugs that prefer cooperation rather than conflict.
They include burrowing cockroaches, the suitably named social spiders -
which share a 30-metre web.

 6) Colony
Watching
the fascinating display of leafcutter ants at the Natural History
Museum in London is one of my favourite ways to while away a few hours,
but David Attenborough is operating on a much grander scale here in the
last in the series. In Argentina he observes some cousins of the
leafcutters who are part of a community so vast it spans an entire
continent. It's one of the mandible-dropping facts in a look at one of
the key inventions of arthropods: colonies. From termites and honey bees
to the leafcutters, it seems that if you want to get ahead, you move to
the big city.
