The mating habits of various bugs

About This Program

A close-up view of sex, bug-style, as David Attenborough talks viewers through the different ways in which creepy-crawlies reproduce. Size matters for the minuscule male orb spider, creepily sneaking up on its intended and trying to mate without her noticing, while there's no rest for the lothario-like butterfly, which has plenty of notches on its proverbial bedpost. However, the harvestman spider has no use for sex at all, and reproduces by cloning itself

Micro Monsters with David Attenborough broadcasts on Sky Nature HD at 11:30pm, Friday, 26 December 2025. (Subtitles, repeat)
