Life in the Undergrowth

Open your eyes to the bizarre, ferocious and surprisingly beautiful world of the invertebrates. In Life in the Undergrowth, join David Attenborough on his groundbreaking exploration into a spectacular miniature universe that is never normally seen, but is teeming all around us. Not just bugs and beetles, but exotic cicadas, neon glow worms, intricate silk-weaving spiders and bat-eating centipedes – not to mention a whole host of other incredible life forms and their intimate, startling behaviour. Thanks to technical innovations in lighting, optics and computerized motion control, this turbulent, super-organised world is finally revealed from the perspective of its extraordinary inhabitants. These creatures may be miniscule, but they live life on a truly grand scale.
