Insect Worlds
Them and Us
Season 1 Episode 1 of 3
Steve Backshall explores the connections and relationships humans have with insects and their close relatives, the arachnids and crustaceans. He begins by revealing how huge armies of driver ants give houses a five-star clean-up in Kenya, while in China, silkworm caterpillars are credited with shaping culture and distribution. He also explains that, despite people's perceptions of these creepy-crawlies, mankind could not live without them
Insect Worlds airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 4:45 PM, Tuesday 15 July. (Subtitles, repeat.)
