Insects are the most diverse animal group on the planet. The key to their success is their unique ability to reshape themselves. They possess fearsome weapons, yet can display surprising tenderness and sophisticated behaviour.

Take to the skies with millions of monarch butterflies in Mexico; see a beetle spray boiling chemicals at its enemies; witness giant bees fight to the death over females; join the marching columns of grass cutter ants; and spend a jeopardy-filled day with damselflies.

Key animal characters:
• Monarch butterflies
• Damselflies
• Grass cutter ants
• Dawson’s bees
• Bombardier beetles

Narrated by David Attenborough
