Next Episode of Planet Insect is
unknown.
No need to travel to outer space to explore strange new worlds. There is alien life right under our noses — insects. They run our planet but are as different from us as possible, and as close to an alien life form that we'll ever see here on Earth. This is their world… and their story.
Between 5 and 10 million different kinds maybe ten quintillion individuals – there's absolutely no doubt that we're living on Planet Insect. Insects live the most extraordinary lives many of them revealed for the first time in this one-hour program.
Insects are very good at making more insects – but it's not easy. Insects are tiny creatures living in a big world. Partners must find each other to mate and the next generation must survive in a huge dangerous world.
Social insects - ants bees wasps and termites - are incredibly successful. By some estimates the weight of ants equals that of humanity and that of termites equals terrestrial vertebrates.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
