Microorganisms are the rulers and guardians of Earth.

Between five and 10 million different kinds, maybe ten quintillion individuals; insects live the most extraordinary lives, many of them revealed for the first time in this one-hour program.

Insects are very good at making more insects, but it's not easy; insects are tiny creatures living in a big world; partners must find each other to mate, and the next generation must survive in a huge, dangerous world.

Social insects - ants, bees, wasps, and termites - are incredibly successful; by some estimates, the weight of ants equals that of humanity, and that of termites equals terrestrial vertebrates.

Plants are communicating, helping each other thrive; staying aware of their surroundings by using dozens of highly sensitive sensors, plants are sending signals, even across species.

In order to adapt to different environments, protect themselves from enemies, obtain food, and reproduce, insects have become highly specialized; they transform themselves into completely different creatures, changing their habitat and even food.
