Unusual World
Three episodes on insects: their camouflage, their metamorphosis, and the sheer range of forms they take.
Synopsis
Insects defend themselves with camouflage and warning colour, pass through larva, pupa and adult as if living three lives, and vary in form and colour beyond any other group. Three episodes take one of those subjects each.
