A series of six programmes with David Attenborough

Butterflies, beetles, spiders and ants are all fascinating - so fascinating that some scientists spend their whole lives studying them. Today David Attenborough tells the stories of Maria Merrian, Henry Bates and Jean Henri Fabre, some of the men and women who started this scientific journey of discovery to find out more and more about the hundreds of thousands of different insects that exist all over the world.
