As long as I can leave behind my genes!
Part 1 “Secretive Birth” shows the heartbreaking battles that insects engage in for their offspring. A cockroach wasp makes a huge cockroach a food source for its offspring by controlling the cockroach’s brain, a braconid wasp lays its eggs inside a leaf rolling beetle’s leaf crib, and mantidfly larvae live off the egg pocket of a Jorō spider that had struggled for 12 hours in the cold to put it together. You will be led through the lives of insects that adopt different strategies to survive, for the sole purpose of producing offspring.
Insects’ clever survival methods
Part 2 “Hide-and-Seek” introduces the creative hunting techniques and defense strategies of insects. From the private life of an yellow owlfly larva that tricks and hunts its prey with its big, intimidating jaw, a European grain moth larva freeloading off an ant nest, an acorn weevil having a tense standoff to get an acorn, a hide-and-seek between birds and a larva at death’s door, to the emergence of a squeaking silkmoth that overcomes a 1% chance of survival, you will get a close look at the clever tactics that insects employ in order to live and serve their purpose on Earth.
