Informative and Entertaining

If you've yet to experience the world through Sir David Attenborough's singular perspective I suggest you purchase this collection. Truly informative and innovative. Don't waste your money on meaningless and crudely made productions (i.e. I cannot name any because it would not be nice...) for I assure you that this one delivers.

Astonishing even if you know a lot about biology

Apart from being exquisitely filmed and packed with fascinating content, this series amazed me with its ability to bring to light bizarre and unusual species and their behaviors. For instance, the third episode is on silk spinners, but it doesn't even mention the silk moths because it has so much to say about cave-dwelling silk spinning fluorescent predatory invertebrates and unusual spiders that hunt in highly specialized ways or even poach prey from other spiders. Seeing nature's complexity and beauty revealed in such detail filled me with such awe it was literally a spiritual experience.

what beauty!

I am so happy with this purchase.It is a feast for the eyes,I loved micro cosmos,another film about insects.
I got 5 hours of veiwing enjoyment,and will watch it again this winter.
I learned alot about cicadas,and spiders....yeeks!My sister in law lives in Australia,and told me about certain spiders,this series describes her stories to a "T".
Mr.Attenborough is a terrific host,his enthusiasm shows in this series.

If you like insects,great photography,and learning interesting facts about symbiotic relationships,you will be happy with this set of 2 cd's.
