Secrets of an Alien World
Narrated by ROBERT BEATTY
Dazzling yet secretive, delicate yet menacing, indispensable yet deadly - these are the insects, the most numerous and varied group of animals on earth.
They are our most important competitors for food. Because of their very diversity they are invincible enemies. In America, the battle is escalating as man strives to counter the insects' ability to resist our newest and most toxic poisons.
Can we compete? Can we control them? Just how do we deal with creatures that may taste with their feet or hear with their knees - and outnumber us by millions to one?
