Courtship in the bug world, from scorpions that shake their behinds and the perfume-wearing nasonia wasp to the tropical cricket, which is forced to bribe its potential partners

About This Show

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
