Micro Monsters with David Attenborough
Courtship
Season 1 Episode 3 of 6
A further selection of creepy-crawly close-ups, focusing on courtship in the bug world. Highlights include scorpions shaking their booty, the perfume-wearing nasonia wasp and the tropical cricket, for whom romance goes out of the window as it uses bribery to seal the deal with would-be partners. One potential partner to steer well clear of, however, is the praying mantis, the female of which is notorious for eating the male just after - or even during - mating. Narrated by David Attenborough
Micro Monsters with David Attenborough airs on Sky Nature HD at 4:00 AM, Friday 27 December. (Subtitles, audio description.)
