Micro Monsters 3D - Season 1 (2013)

David Attenborough presents survival techniques used by arthropods, who comprise 80% of the animal kingdom, and are vital to ecosystems on all continents except the Atarctic: insects, spiders and scorpions. Rapid and boundless evolution continuously creates new species, adapting to conditions and often in a never-ending arms race between predators and prey. Poison and mimicry are taken to the extreme, but also macabre forms parasitism and other secretions, like hot liquid or deterrent odors.

David Attenborough 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.

Courtship - This episode highlights the courtship rituals of several different insect species.
