Description

It's a strange paradox-insects can be found almost anywhere, yet most people know very little about them. This program goes a long way toward improving that awareness, introducing viewers to the insect class in all its dazzling diversity. Underscoring the fact that insects predate humanity (as well as the dinosaurs) by millions of years, the video provides an overview of the various orders within Insecta, illustrates molting and metamorphosis, and explores insect behavior and anatomy-from the six-legged configuration that all insects share to fascinating facts about vision, pheromones, feeding, flight, social organization, and more. Ecological issues related to the use of pesticides are also raised.
