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.
There is no Next Episode of Planet Insect planned.
