A Horizon presentation of seven programmes on animal life
Ten per cent of the world's food is eaten each year by insects
Tonight's programme, the first of a new series, looks at the spectacular world of the insect.
Remarkable film sequences show their incredible variety, their camouflage, their intricate patterns of life and their sheer numbers.
There are an estimated billion billion insects in the world, and some scientists speculate that with their superb adaptability, just as they were the first living creatures on earth they will be the last; in fact-the Winners.
