Deadly 60 - CBBC - BBC

In the Gomantong cave system, Steve encounters thousands of cockroaches.

Naturalist Steve Backshall's search for deadly creatures takes him to Borneo's Gomantong caves where thousands of cockroaches and the scutigera centipede await.

Steve Backshall abseils into the darkness of the incredible Gomantong cave system. 

Here, he encounters thousands of cockroaches and one of the scariest creepy-crawlies to go on the Deadly 60 list, the scutigera centipede. Thousands of wrinkle-lipped bats call this cave their home. In order to show how amazing they are, Steve hangs like a bat from the cave ceiling. It is a truly awesome sight as the bats leave the cave in their thousands to hunt for bugs in the night sky. 

Steve also scours the waterways of the Borneo jungle for a reticulated python, and the team get munched on by tiger leeches. Not an episode for the faint-hearted.
