Life in the Undergrowth: Season 1

The insect rider impressed the ants with his pheromone, of course, the genius of laying an egg in the larva of a caterpillar is a double deception of ants

David Attenborough talks about the evolution and lifestyle of invertebrates. Remarkable examples of extraordinary abilities, skills, and unexpectedly complex behavior. Land exploration, flight, the diverse uses and properties of the web, interaction with other species, and cooperation within their own.

These creatures have adapted to the most difficult living conditions, developed amazing abilities, honed their skills in disguise and various methods of defense and attack, developed effective tactics and strategies for survival and reproduction, and successfully populated almost the entire planet. They have always surrounded us, but it was this series that for the first time showed in detail and in high resolution some details of their amazing life.

Again, there is a lot of impressive video footage. Unique, excellent-quality footage has become possible not only through the use of the latest cameras, optics, and shooting techniques. The phenomena and events themselves were often completely new, and some of them were practically unknown even to specialists. It's not for nothing that the film crews have been traveling all over the world for two years. Again, excellent informative comments, clear, informative and interesting.

It turned out to be a wonderful popular science series about insects, full of all kinds of amazing facts and excellent video illustrations. It's a pity that there are only 5 episodes. I definitely recommend it.

Language. As usual, Attenborough speaks very well. Perfectly correct and distinct, while, of course, with lively but precise intonations, without unnecessary epithets and empty chatter in general. Subtitles are optional.

It wasn't enough for the microcosm to periodically return to our usual human scale to better imagine the size of the creatures in question.
I didn't know much about how insects and other invertebrates eat, reproduce, hunt, and communicate...I think we should talk more about this in schools, and not just about the structure of the body. Of course, all sorts of segments, neural tubes, and so on are important and also important in the context of understanding how the human body and human organs were built, but Anatomy.is only a small part.
Brrrr, a bunch of little scorpions on my mother -- and a picture.

I suspected that ants and bees were somehow related, and it was not for nothing that they created such communities, real societies. But termites that came from cockroaches...
Wow, David wasn't afraid to climb the giant bee nest at this height Oo
Brrrrrr, ants eating lizards alive & gt; & lt; well, it's just a thriller! And this has not yet shown anything terrible about termites.

I've never liked Wasps, and for good reason)))) it's so creepy to look closely and in detail at all sorts of parasitism...
