Micro Monsters 3D

David Attenborough takes you on an amazing journey into the hidden world of bugs. From the BAFTA and Emmy-winning producers of David Attenborough's Galapagos and Kingdom of Plants, Micro Monsters uses pioneering macroscopic camera techniques to get closer than ever to the fascinating, beautiful, scary and downright alien world of arthropods - spiders, scorpions and insects. David Attenborough reveals how and why bugs became the most successful group of animals on the planet, outnumbering humans billions to one and able to survive environments deadly to us. Ranging from the earliest simple organisms millennia before the dinosaurs, through their evolution into a bewilderingly diverse number of types and species, Micro Monsters shows the tactics these amazing creatures use to survive and thrive. Armies of killer ants, spiders weaving silken trap doors, beetles shooting boiling chemicals at their enemies, bees communicating with a waggle, deadly scorpions which have a beautiful mating dance, termites that build air-conditioned skyscrapers and the incredible double life of butterflies - all these and more are shown in the most stunning visual sequences, presented by the world's favourite naturalist.
